What Makes Pushback Tugs Different from Airplane Tugs?
From airports to MROs to repair facilities, if your business involves aircraft, you most likely have to move it. A pushback is a common airport procedure where the airplane is safely pushed backward away from an airport gate through the use of external power in the form of a pushback tractor or airport tug. Airlines and operators conduct pushbacks around the clock, typically within very short timeframes. Because of this, it's critical that your operation is equipped with aircraft pushback and towing equipment that is both durable and reliable. But what exactly is a pushback tug and how is it different from other airplane tugs?
While some in the industry tend to lump all ground support equipment under the term "aircraft tugs," it's not actually a one-size-fits-all situation. Typically, aircraft tugs are built for specific operations in mind. A pushback tug is no different. It's designed to provide the operator with increased visibility of the attaching mechanism between the airplane and the tug itself. In most pushback-specific tugs, the operator is positioned to be directly facing the aircraft.
Our popular electric aircraft pushback tractor can be operated within a closed hangar, providing you with increased flexibility when compared to other gas or diesel options. And our towbarless pushback tugs alleviate safety concerns like blind spots, pinch points, pivot points and more. Many aircraft tugs available from Eagle Tugs are incredibly versatile and capable of both pushing back an aircraft and towing it. It is important to note, however, that some pushback tugs are only suited for pushback operations, as the driver is always facing the aircraft. For towing aircraft beyond the gate area, you'll want to use a more appropriate tractor tug.
