TOWE170-C-4 — Aviation Towbar

TOWE170-C-4 is a specialised aviation ground support tool known as a towbar assembly. It’s used to move and position aircraft on the ground by connecting the aircraft’s nose gear to a towing vehicle.

• Type: Towbar Assembly (tool for aircraft ground support).

• Purpose: Designed to tug aircraft like the Embraer 170 family during push-back, taxiing in hangars, repositioning on the ramp, and other ground movements.

How It Works

In airport operations, a towbar like the TOWE170-C-4 connects the landing gear of the aircraft to a ground vehicle (tug). The operator steers and maneuvers the aircraft safely without engaging its engines. This helps with push-backs, repositioning, or towing into maintenance areas.

Typical Use Cases

• Ground handling at airports

• Aircraft repositioning on ramp or hangar floors

• Maintenance and servicing moves

• Safe connection between aircraft and tug
