All Mototok tugs are equipped with the most modern processor con- trolled electronic components. To reduce the susceptance to failure Mototok SPACER comes up with an integrated CAN-BUS. For moving aircraft easily with an MTOW up to 95 tonnes Mototok SPACER is equipped with two powerful AC motors of the highest quality of German manufacture. Mototoks batteries are on the same highest technological level – German manufacture aswell. The battery charger with electrolyte circulation and microprocessor regulation ensures a rapid and gentle charging of the batteries in 3 hours. The 4 biggest advantages of 3.

Pushback Operations made easy. Since a couple of years Mototok Spacer is successfully in use in the area of maintenance at several custo- mers like Airbus in Hamburg, Thomson TUI, Alaska Airlines and more. The step to a full pushback device followed consequentially. After two years of developing and testing the pushback capabilities Mototok SPACER 8600 is the ideal tug for your apron and pushback operations. One SPACER 8600 can easily manage three boarding bridges in daily operation. Comes with the outstanding benefits of all Mototok vehicles, e.g.: • quickest Return On Investment • maximum manoeuvrability • fast and easy operation • low maintenance Of course, the SPACER 8600 has the NTO license for 737‘s and 320-family (Embarer and Bombardier follows soon). 4 Learn more: www.Mototok.com/pushback Get the quickest ROI of the market.

HANGAR OPTIMIZATION 6 Mototok excels in tight situations: Park your aircraft safely, easily and effectively where you want: In the hangars corner, directly towards the hangars wall or near by other aircraft in the hangar. Save space in the process – depending on your hangar situation up to 60%. standard tow tractor Operating with normal tugs with or without a towbar is intricate. Exit path of the tug Turning the nose wheel whilst maneuvering without moving the aircraft is impossible. And you have to consider the exit path of the other towbarless tug tug. Thus parking the aircraft with old technology is unprofitable. Exit path of the tug You are not able to use your hangars full capacity.

Area needed for turning an aircraft about 90° with a towbar Moving an aircraft the conventional way – with a towbar Maneuvering with a towbar means “steering by moving“. Turning the nose gear and moving the aircraft are two inseparable motions when using a towbar. Turning the nose wheel is only possible when the aircraft is moved backwards or forwards. The aircraft has to be moved several metres for the nose gear to turn and move the aircraft into another direction. This in turn increases the space needed for extensive manoeuvering. 8 Area needed for turning HANGAR an aircraft about 90° OPTIMIZATION with Mototok Moving an aircraft the innovative way – with Mototok! Manouevering with Mototok is easier by far. The fuselage and wingtips remain in position whilst turning the nose gear on the spot for manoeuvering. With Mototok both turning the nose gear and moving the aircraft are two completely different movements – the deciding advantage of the Mototok Tug Sytem. The result is a minimum requirement of space whilst shunting the aircraft. This example shows that turning an aircraft by 90° reduces manoevering space to a circle. The steering of a Mototok is performed through different rotating speed of both pro- cessor-controlled wheel-hub motors. These carefully control the torque proportionally to each of the drive wheels. A perfect turn on the spot is naturally no problem: one motor rotates forwards, the other backwards. Both motors recognise rotational resistance and carry out a precise turning manoevre. 9 Description Mototok is a battery powered pedestrian con- trolled vehicle capable of moving a wide range of aircraft types. Mototok is steered by a remote console con- nected to the tug either via radio or a coiled C E steel wired armoured cable of 15 meters length (extended). This enables the operator to view the aircraft and tug from the safest position whilst giving the best visibility.

Drive the Mototok with opened hydraulical door and lowered platform towards the nose wheel of the aircraft until the nose wheel touches the sliding table. Then press the start-button on the remote control. 2. The hydraulical door closes … 3. … and clamps the nose wheel with a specified pressure. 4. The platform lifts up and raises the nose wheel 5. The Securing Paddels lowers down and clamps the nose wheel gently and safely – ready for moving the aircraft. The whole procedure takes about 10-15 seconds.
