TBL 50
The cabin is equipped with our unique gas-hydraulic suspension, giving a superb comfort to the driver.
In line with all other KALMAR- TBL tractors the TBL 50 is able to dock without moving or lifting the aircraft.
The force monitoring system (F.A.C.T.®) enables constant and accurate measuring of tow and brake force as well as turn force and angle, thus making it possible to handle commuter aircrafts towbarless with absolute security.
A complete new design and patent for the docking device "cradle" is the base for this tractor.
The TBL-50 is designed for pushback and maintenance towing of commuter for example: ATR, Dash 8, Embraer, SAAB and even up to B737 as well as A320.
