Overall, the TF5’s turntable motor offers unparalleled flexibility that no other competitor can match. This technology allows aircraft to be parked far into the corner or directly in front of the wall.

NPS (NOSEGEAR PROTECTION SYSTEM)
The maximum protection for the nose gear
The optional TowFLEXX NPS (Nosegear Protection System) makes towing with the TF5 even easier! Although it was already possible on previous TF5 models to always align the nose wheel in the direction of travel, but this had to be done manually by the user via the radio remote control.
The NPS takes over this operation and compensates the tug’s movements fully automatically during the towing process. All that is needed is a sensor that is attached within seconds using a suction cup approved for aircraft paint.
In order to complete the towing process and lower the aircraft, the sensor must be removed again. This safety mechanism will prevent this being forgotten on the aircraft.

PICK UP AN AIRCRAFT WITH THE TF5
If manufacturers state in their product descriptions that their products are easy to use, this certainly does not mean that it really is the case. Fortunately, this is not a problem we have to struggle with and we would like to present this to our customers and interested parties.
Of course such a demonstration works best live and on site, but in this short training video a operation with the TF5 on the aircraft is well documented.
By the way, it does not matter if the aircraft has single or twin tires, both can be operated beautifully with the TF5!

This excerpt shows a variety of aircraft currently being towed with the TowFLEXX TF5. This list is not complete and is being updated constantly and includes mainly aircraft of higher weight classes. However, it is also possible to maneuver smaller aircraft such as Piper PA32, Daher TBM or Beechcraft King Air with this tug. Basically, almost all aircraft up to 60,000 kilograms can be operated, as long as ground clearance permits.
