Towbarless Aircraft Tractors
TLD has been a pioneer in the development of Towbarless Aircraft Tractors for pushback and towing operations. With over 60 years manufacturing experience, TLD towbarless tractors have an impressive range of operational and safety features.
TPX-100-E
Narrow Body Electric Towbarless Tractor
The TPX-100-E is an electric towbarless tractor designed for push back of most commuters, and single aisle aircrafts up to 100 tons, from SAAB 2000 to BOEING B757 (100 tons max). Its unique AC/DC technology in this range of tractor increases driving comfort and lifetime and allows to get more reliability and to reduce operating costs. The cradle system is designed to fit all NLG, included inclined one. It includes the over torque alerting device. The automatic control of loading/unloading cycle allows fail safe operations. Provided with a comfortable ergonomic cabin, the TPX-100-E offers a high level of manoeuvrability combined with an excellent visibility.
Thanks to its heavy-duty design the TPX-100 E is a very reliable tractor.
Features:
Proven machine reliability resulting in very low maintenance costs
Available in fully electric, zero-emissions
Local factory-trained support available
TPX-200
Wide Body Electric Towbarless Tractor
The TPX-200 series are a range of towbarless pushback tractors capable of handling up to BOEING B777/787* or AIRBUS A350*. An elevating cab is available as an option to handle EMB190, B727 and make underbelly operations.
The TPX series have a unique cradle design with a central articulation between front and rear chassis to which keeps a high amount of traction to the driving wheels. The driver is perfectly aligned with NLG and very close to the cradle to perform safe operations.
For maintenance towing a dedicated 90 kVA GPU is available as an option*. Like all TLD tractors, the TPX series are efficient in design (2WS, 2WD) simplifying operational and maintenance tasks while offering the best TCO of comparable tractors.
The TPX-200 series is available in a fully electric version, its unique AC/DC technology in this range of tractor, increases driving comfort, lifetime and allows to get more reliability to reduce operating costs.
