LEKTRO tugs are produced of the highest quality components readily available worldwide. Inherent in the design is ruggedness, versatility, ease of maintenance and efficiency. This makes LEKTRO towbarless aircraft positioning vehicles ideal for those working in enclosed environments such as hangar stacking or confined aircraft carriers. LEKTRO’s unique combination of towbarless nose wheel capture and smooth, quiet, clean battery power provides unsurpassed maneuverability coupled with durable design.

In fact, in a 1999 study, the Canadian Air Force experienced and documented a 30 percent hangar density improvement and a 60 percent reduction in tow-vehicle maintenance costs when they equipped all their CF-18 fighter squadrons with LEKTRO towbarless tugs. The added space efficiency enabled them to accommodate the full operating squadron inside the hangar.

LEKTRO aircraft towing vehicles are designed to have minimal downtime and be ready whenever required. Quick- change batteries allow around-the clock operation while components are designed for easy access and replacement when necessary. LEKTRO tugs also use fewer moving parts than conventional combustion-engine equipment which results in fewer breakdowns and reliability when it is needed the most.

The LEKTRO military models are designed for durability. The AP8850SDA-M has the capacity to tow up to 120,000 pounds and is ideal for aircraft carriers and landbases handling anything from an F-18, F-15, F-16, MiG, or Mirage down to a T 38 or Hawk. Its sleek, low-profile design permits the AP8850SDA-M to operate in the tightest environment.

The  AP8950SD-M is designed to maneuver up to 180,000 lbs., such as a C-130 Hercules or fully- loaded P-3 Orion.
