AST-1X, Towbarless Aircraft Tug

A powerful towbarless aircraft tug, designed for the safe and efficient pushback and towing of wide-body aircraft. This model is built for intensive operations at major international airports, where maximum performance and reliability are required to service the world’s largest passenger and cargo aircraft.

A permanent hydrostatic four-wheel-drive (4×4) system, high tractive force, and an advanced chassis provide safe operation both during pushback and over longer towing distances.

The ergonomic two-seat cabin with a 180°-rotating operator’s workstation, excellent visibility, and an optional all-wheel steering system enable precise maneuvering even in confined airport spaces.
