TowFLEXX is a globally established company with its headquarters in Brookhaven, PA, that specializes in providing aircraft tugs. They started as a simple hobby but have grown into a serious company that has expanded its operations to the USA market. TowFLEXX has a diversified customer base that includes the US Air Force, famous private owners, renowned aircraft manufacturers, and well-known DAX companies. In response to increasing demand for more powerful devices, TowFLEXX now offers a range of tugs, from small compact tugs to powerful units that are capable of handling large business jets, fighter planes, and helicopters weighing up to 60.000kg/132.000lbs, with even more powerful models in development.
Aircraft owners or those who handle aircraft regularly need a device like the TowFLEXX because aircraft cannot move on their own in the hangar. The TowFLEXX stands out from other tugs in the market due to its powerful units, the wireless remote control, and the unique turntable technology designed by the company’s owner, Axel Schickling. The nose wheel of the aircraft is positioned and fixed on the turntable, which counterbalances the movements of the tug, allowing it to rotate around the aircraft securely. This feature increases safety and protects the delicate landing gear of the aircraft.
