PUSHBACKS

Conventional

Reliable Pushback Tractors from Textron GSE

Pushback tractors offer the functionality required to efficiently and effectively move and position aircraft while at the airport. At Textron GSE, we pride ourselves on producing both conventional and towbarless pushbacks that exceed industry standards and improve operations.

The pushback process is typically the second part of a ‘Taxi in Push Out’ (TIPO) procedure at the terminal gates. Traditional pushback tugs attach to the aircraft nose landing gear with a towbar. However, an alternative towbarless tug method is growing in use. Towbarless tugs use a cradle (two low level arms on either side of the aircraft nose landing gear) to raise it slightly off the ground in order to move backward or forward.

The number of ground crew members needed to carry out a pushback varies depending on aircraft size. No matter what size crew or aircraft you are working with, Textron GSE offers a pushback tug that will fit your needs.
