Towbarless Tractors Range

Douglas towbarless tractors range from the TBL-25 and TBL-50 designed for handling General Aviation and Regional type aircraft, to the TBL-600 for handling aircraft up to and including the Airbus A380. The first Douglas-Kalmar TBL 600 towbarless tractor entered operational service with DNATA, the ground handling subsidiary of Emirates, in Dubai, in January 2005. The TBL 600, which will be on display, is a larger version of the Douglas-Kalmar TBL 400 towbarless aircraft handling tractor that is currently in operation with airlines and ground handling companies around the world.

The complete range of Douglas Tugmaster conventional aircraft towing tractors will also be featured. This includes the latest DC6-44 and DC8-44, four wheel drive, four wheel steer tractors that can be ballasted from 10-22 t for handling short, medium and long haul aircraft with maximum take-off weights up to 250 t and the DC12-44/DC12-600 that can be ballasted from 50-70 t for handling wide bodied aircraft up to the new Airbus A380.
