AircrAft towing SolutionS for the future
iTowBot
The iTowBot is the easiest, safest way for single operators
to manuever aircraft in close quarters. The iTowBot’s hybrid
zero-turn capability and fully-articulating, self-locking carriage
can safely turn aircraft a full 360 degrees within the aircraft’s
wingspan.
The iTowBot operates by remote control to allow safe towing
from any vantage point. Our patented towing technology
eliminates lifting, positioning, electrical cords, fueling or hard
starting of traditional aircraft towing machinery.
Our powerful, silent 24V & 28V DC motors provide smooth
starts/stops and virtually maintenance-free performance.
Multiple configurations are available to move almost any
aircraft weighing up to 50,000lbs (22,600 kg).
