The MOTOTOK SPACER is a fully electric, wireless transmission controlled, heavy duty towbarless pushback tug which loads and unloads the nose wheel automatically. Spacer 8600 is fitted with a gimbal-mounted nose gear platform with hydraulic cylinders, which compensate for the tilt of the nose gear while turning. Mototok is an innovative piece of technology, which challenges the norm, replacing large machines for pushing back aircraft. Pushing back aircraft with Mototok is a massive step forward.
