TowFLEXX

Distributor & Service Center

Our partnership with TowFLEXX means that FlyTek’s superior GSE maintenance services are now more convenient than ever.

TowFLEXX is the leading innovator in remote controlled aircraft tug technology. TowFLEXX tugs safely and effortlessly turn aircraft on the spot without the need to turn the nose wheel. The simple and convenient tugs provide easy docking, coupling, and decoupling in only 20 seconds. No winches or straps are required.

The remote controlled tugs (starting at the 3 Series) are equipped with a unique turntable, allowing the user to swivel it 360° around the fuselage while the nose wheel remains in it’s starting position. This makes aircraft towing much safer for the operator & more profitable for the owner.

These remote controlled aircraft tugs are extremely agile and flexible due to their unique 360° technology. This feature allows the user to utilize all of the available space in the hangar as the tug does not need space to maneuver. As a result, more aircraft can fit into the same hangar — producing up to 40% more revenue than before!

In addition to higher revenue, owners will also save additional costs using TowFLEXX as they will only need a single person to operate each tug, saving on personnel costs. And since there are not any hydraulics, the tug is almost free of maintenance. The nose wheel is captured on a free floating turntable which keeps it from oversteering. Finally, owners can expect the amount of expensive damage to be reduced, as TowFLEXX Tugs are not working with any tow bar.

Towflexx TF5 Features & Benefits

  • UNIQUE IN ITS CLASS — The Towflexx TF5 is a true heavyweight with its towing capacity of up to 60,000kg. This tug is perfect for mid to large sized planes, as well as helicopters with single or double tires. The TF5 is used by both FBOs and the military thanks to the wide variety and scale of aircraft it can move.
  • NO TOW BAR, NO DAMAGE — Our aircraft tractors belong to the category “Towbarless Tugs”, i.e. tractors without a tow bar. And there is a good reason for that – safety! With our unique 360​° technology, the nose wheel is picked up on a turntable so that the tractor can move freely around the nose wheel without twisting it. This flexibility allows for the tug to be much safer for operators than tow bar options.
  • MORE SPACE = MORE REVENUE — Hangar stacking means more space means more aircraft, and more aircraft means more revenue – that’s exactly what the Towflexx TF5 aircraft tugs are built for! Due to the flat design and the unique 360° technology, the entire hangar floorspace can be used with the TF5.
