Towbar for Aircraft
Towbar for Aircraft – Rugged and adaptable solution for safe towing of commercial and military aircraft with nose gear or main gear connection options.
Key Features:
✔️ Designed to tow a wide range of aircraft with varied nose or main landing gear types
✔️ Built from high-strength steel or aluminum to endure repetitive towing stress
✔️ Fitted with tow-head adapters compatible with specific aircraft models
✔️ Features a shock-absorbing mechanism to prevent sudden jolts or oversteering
✔️ Equipped with safety shear pins that protect both aircraft and tug from excessive force
✔️ Easy coupling to standard tow tractors or tugs via universal hitch configurations
✔️ Compact and balanced construction for smooth handling and directional stability
✔️ Powder-coated or galvanized surface for lasting corrosion resistance in airside environments
Towbar for Aircraft
The Towbar for Aircraft is available in various lengths and strengths to accommodate everything from light‑jet to heavy‑widebody aircraft. Each towbar features a high‑strength steel or aluminum alloy tube, typically 3 m to 5 m long, with heavy‑duty draw-over-mandrel (DOM) steel in critical stress zones. The heads are aircraft‑specific, with lockable claws or pins that interface directly with nose‑gear tow lugs. Many models use hydraulic or pneumatic, retractable wheels to ease attachment and reduce wear. Finish includes powder coat plus zinc plating for corrosion resistance.
Towbars connect to both tow tractors and aircraft using rugged pintle or lunette rings paired with shear‑pin systems. These pins break if load exceeds safe limits, protecting the aircraft and ground crew. Pneumatic tires on retractable wheel assemblies help absorb shocks during tug operations. Adjustable length or interchangeable heads offer flexibility across aircraft types; universal bars adapt to narrow‑ and wide‑body fleets.
The Towbar for Aircraft is essential on taxiways, ramp staging areas, and maintenance hangars at civil airports, military bases, and cargo hubs. In military use, ground crews tow fighters and transports into hardened shelters. At commercial terminals, these towbars link tractors to airliners before pushback. On naval carriers, hydraulic dolly‑style units assist positioning of embarked aircraft. As one ramp supervisor noted:
In cargo and passenger aircraft ground support, Tactical Supply Pakistan equips operators with durable, regulation‑compliant towbars that strengthen safety and streamline turn‑around processes across aviation sectors.
How often should the shear pins on the towbar assembly be replaced?
Shear pins should be inspected after any load event and replaced quarterly or after each pin activation to maintain protective linkage between tractor and aircraft
