Con una capacidad de empuje de hasta 60.000 kgs el TowFlexx TF5 es un verdadero peso pesado capaz de empujar eficientemente hasta los más grandes Jets corporativos, aeronaves militares y helicópteros. Sin embargo gracias a su sistema ajustable del tren de nariz puede adaptarse para mover aviones mas pequeños.
With its towing capacity of up to 60,000kg / 132,000 pounds, the TowFLEXX TF5 is a true heavyweight and unique in its class. Perfect for Super-Midsize Jets, Military Jets and Helicopters with Single- and Twin-Tires. However, the adjustable nose wheel adapters allow small aircraft to be moved. This makes the TF5 an absolute all-rounder, which is why it is used by FBOs, MROs, corporate flight departments, private owners and military personnel all over the world.
Nuestros tractores de empuje pertenecen a la Categoría de “Sin Barra”. ¡¡La razón principal es por la seguridad de su aeronave es siempre la prioridad!! La tecnología giratoria 360 del TF5 permite levantar y mover libremente el tren de nariz sin impacto ni torque.
Our Aircraft Tugs belong to the Category “Towbarless Tugs”. And there’s a good reason for that, because safety comes first. With our unique 360° technology, the nose wheel is picked up on a turntable, allowing the tug to move freely around the nose wheel without twisting it.
The new NPS (Nosewheel Protection System) offers even more safety and comfort during the tow.
El TF5 es operado desde una unidad central de control remoto - The central control unit of the TF5
El TowFLEXX TF5 es operado vía una consola multifuncional de control remoto. En la configuración estándar la comunicación es por frecuencia de radio, pero también se puede operar con un cable conectado desde la consola a la unidad.
The TowFLEXX TF5 is operated via a multifunction remote control. In the default configuration, it connects via radio, but if the supplied backup cable is connected between the remote control and the tug, any radio transmissions are disabled, which can be quite important for some locations.

Unique technology provides unmatched flexibility
The turntable motor is directly connected to the lifting platform and turntable and offers enormous flexibility on various levels. It also significantly increases safety during towing and prevents uncontrolled movements of the nose wheel. The turntable motor is controlled via remote control and offers a total of four different modes to choose from:
• Mode 1: The turntable remains fixed, the tug can be moved freely
• Mode 2: The tug can be turned freely around the turntable (360°) without moving the nose wheel.
• Mode 3: Only the turntable is controlled. This mode can be used either to adjust the nose wheel or to perform special maneuvers.
• Mode 4: The motor of the turntable can be disengaged so that it can move freely. This mode offers incredible flexibility for some types of aircraft, especially when moving around the hangar, and allows manoeuvring in even less space.
Overall, the TF5’s turntable motor offers unparalleled flexibility that no other competitor can match. This technology allows aircraft to be parked far into the corner or directly in front of the wall.
NPS (Nosegear Protection System)
The optional TowFLEXX NPS (Nosegear Protection System) makes towing with the TF5 even easier! Although it was already possible on previous TF5 models to always align the nose wheel in the direction of travel, but this had to be done manually by the user via the radio remote control.
The NPS takes over this operation and compensates the tug’s movements fully automatically during the towing process. All that is needed is a sensor that is attached within seconds using a suction cup approved for aircraft paint.
In order to complete the towing process and lower the aircraft, the sensor must be removed again. This safety mechanism will prevent this being forgotten on the aircraft.
Pick Up an Aircraft With the TF5
If manufacturers state in their product descriptions that their products are easy to use, this certainly does not mean that it really is the case. Fortunately, this is not a problem we have to struggle with and we would like to present this to our customers and interested parties.
Of course such a demonstration works best live and on site, but in this short training video a operation with the TF5 on the aircraft is well documented.
By the way, it does not matter if the aircraft has single or twin tires, both can be operated beautifully with the TF5!
