Company brief
Mototok International is a German-engineered specialist in fully electric, towbarless, remote-controlled aircraft tugs designed for hangar, apron, pushback and military operations. The product line scales from the M-Series (up to 28 t) for single-engine aircraft, light jets and small helicopters, through the TWIN-Series (up to 75 t) for business jets, to the SPACER series MRO/FBO range (up to 200 t / ~441,000 lbs) covering narrow-body and wide-body airliners; specialised LB-Series tugs serve military fighter, helicopter and transport aircraft, while the Alligator series handles helicopters with very low ground clearance such as the NH90 and V-22. The Spacer 8600 NG addresses regional jets and narrow-body operations. Differentiators repeated across the site include a fully hydraulic, sensor-monitored nose-wheel platform (loading completes in roughly 15 seconds), maintenance-free high-cycling batteries, walk-around remote-control operation that keeps the operator's eyes on the aircraft at all times, very compact dimensions that allow aircraft to be parked tight to walls or in hangar corners (claimed up to 160% additional hangar capacity), and a Mototok Cloud / CPU subsystem for over-the-air updates, log files, user access via RFID card, and diagnostics over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or USB. Customer logos and quoted users on the homepage include Boeing, Coca-Cola, Air France, British Airways (London Heathrow Terminal 5 pushback), Joramco, Linetech S.A. and military / navy operators. Special-application products include AGV automatic-guided-vehicle variants, explosion-proofed tugs for offshore and EOD/police use, and the I-NPS Intelligent Nosegear Protection System. Mototok claims market leadership in compact electric tugs up to 200 t after more than 20 years of development.
