Perfectly thought-out design. Make it yours.
Electrically powered pushback tugs.
Powerful and emission-free electric motors provide enormously powerful driving forces.
One-person job.
Thanks to radio remote control providing 100% visibility, working with a mototok is a foolproof one-man operation.
Mototok can be parked directly in the immediate vicinity of the gate without becoming an obstuction.
More Revenue thanks to power of engineering.
Cost effective.
Enormous cost reduction in staff, operational and maintenance costs. Planning and scheduling becomes more easy and flexible.
Everybody can use Mototok pushback tugs!
A Half-day training for the staff is all you need. No driving license required.
One for three.
One Mototok pushback tug is able to manage up to three boarding bridges.
Eco friendly and low maintenance.
No fuel costs.
Fully electrive drive – green and carbon dioxide free.
Fast recharging.
Recharge Mototok Spacer fully in about 3 hours. Up to 30 pushback operations are possible with one battery charge.
Compared to conventional combustion engines and other drive arrangements electric motorised machines are much less accident-sensitive.
Quickest ROI
Reduce the average time of waiting for pushing back the aircraft!
Every minute of waiting for the pushback tug costs money. What, if the access time to a pushback tug tends towards immediately?
No governmental driving license required.
Only specialized and authorized staff is permitted to push back aircraft with a conventional pushback tug. What, if everybody of the staff would have the permission to pushback the aircraft?
Get access to a pushback tug immediately!
Our concept is to provide up to three boarding bridges with an electrical Mototok tug. Push back the aircraft just in time.
Over 3000 Pushbacks with Mototok at Madrid and Barcelona

See, what British Airways and Tech Insider say about the innovative way of pushing back aircraft!
British Airways is using 28 Mototok SPACER 8600 to push back airplanes. Using this new electric robot has resulted in a 54% reduction in delays at Heathrow Airport T5. It has also reduced emissions and is surprisingly easy to maneuver.

British Airways’ Remote-Control Pushback Vehicles reach Record: 100,000 Departures
British Airways has celebrated its 100,000th aircraft pushback using the airline’s fully-electric, remote-controlled Mototok devices, which have been used to swiftly manoeuvre the airline’s 140-strong short-haul fleet out to the runway for take-off for the last two years.

Mototok: 2019 Product Leader of the Year
We are proud to announce that AviationPros.com has named Mototok the "Ground Support Worldwide 2019 Product Leader of the Year".
”Mototok company launched a vehicle that simplifies the pushback operation with a straight forward interface, and hence doesn’t require an additional license to operate. That, in turn, allows more members of ground handling personnel to perform these duties with the push of a button and drastically reduce delays. For these reasons as well as many of the Spacer 8600’s other innovative features, Mototok has been named the Ground Support Worldwide 2019 Product Leader of the Year.“

Easy to use
1. The engaging procedure can be started automatically by pressing just one button on the remote control.
Mototok goes digital!
Mototok comes with telemetry and a cloud connection for features and adjustments relating to
- Oversteering protection
- Unit diagnostics
- Adjustments
- Log files
- User access
- Fleet Management
The integrated CPU sends the data via GSM, LTE, or 4G to the Cloud and can be linked with any mobile device (smartphone, tablet, or laptop) via Bluetooth, WLAN, or USB, using a standard internet browser (such as Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox). Depending on the authorization level, the user can access fleet management, check or adjust settings, or read out the log files.
Log in to operate
With an active user restriction, the Mototok operator releases the tug via an RFID card reader on the machine according to his authorization level:
- Identification of users by RFID chip or any other proprietary user identification system, such as an airport key card
- Logs start and end operation
- All technical data of usage is stored
- Torque values for oversteering analysis can be stored under the responsible operators, in combination with the optional i-OPS
Safety first:
i-NPS – Intelligent Nosegear Protection System
Achieve more safety in your daily operations
Intelligent Nosegear Protection System (i-NPS) with Auto Countersteering Function is our newest contribution to prevent damages on the nose gear whilst shunting and pushback operations. Equipped with several sensors which measures the forces and torques on the nose gear, Mototoks counter steer algorithm commences, when the torque reaches a set limit. Damages of the sensitive nose gear is hereby impossible.
The difference to conventional oversteering protection systems
With i-NPS oversteering is nearly impossible. i-NPS takes action actively and not only with a simple alarm or when it is too late.
How this works
The intelligent oversteering control of the Mototok prohibits an oversteering incident by intelligent torque measurement and auto counter steer. When the measured torque is reaching a critical value of the set torque limit, a counter steer operation will be performed immediately.
- Intuitive and easy handling
- Information for operators over the display of the Mototok and over electronic speech synthesis with the wireless headset
- Information for technicians over Mototok APP with Laptop or tablet
- mergency release of the aircraft in less than a minute
The forces and torques acting on the nosegear are measured by several weighing cells. Mototok's Intelligent Nosegear Protection System (i-NPS) prevents too high torques and initiates a counter steer action whilst either pulling or pushing the aircraft.
