Description
The TF3 is the smallest remote controlled aircraft tug of TowFLEXX. Within a few seconds the aircraft is picked up and can then be effortlessly manoeuvred to the desired location by remote control. The nose wheel is mounted on a specially designed turntable, which allows the operator to turn the tug 360° around the nose gear without twisting it. UNIQUE 360° TECHNOLOGY The turntable of the TF3 prevents the nose wheel from turning when manoeuvring. At the same time, this allows unprecedented flexibility: the aircraft tug can rotate 360° around the nose wheel, enabling manoeuvres that are not possible with conventional towing equipment. Furthermore, this tug can be used to pull or push aircraft into the corners of the hangar. In this way, the available space can be used much more efficiently and revenues can also be increased, as more aircraft can be accommodated in the same space. IT ONLY TAKES ONE PERSON The radio remote control of the TF3 has a high range so that the user can move freely around the aircraft. This means that no further persons are needed to manoeuvre the aircraft safely. A safety frequency is used.
