Efficiency in a new dimension: SPACER 195 The underlying philosophy to the design of all our equipment is that it utilises the latest technology applicable to its sphere of operation and is (relatively) lightweight and portable in nature. All Mototok tugs are equipped with the most modern processor controlled electronic components. To reduce the susceptance to failure Mototok SPACER 195 comes up with an integrated CAN-BUS. For moving aircraft easily with an MTOW up to 195 tonnes Mototok SPACER is equipped with two powerful AC motors of the highest quality of German manufacture. Mototoks batteries are on the same highest technological level – German manufacture aswell. The battery charger with electrolyte circulation and microprocessor regulation ensures a rapid and gentle charging of the batteries in 3 hours.
The 4 biggest advantages of using an electric driven Mototok tug 1. Cost effective. • Low personnel costs by means of wireless transmission control – the operator is essentially a “wing walker” himself. • No governmental driving licence required. Every trained person (2h of training) is able to move an aircraft with a Mototok. • Extremely low maintenance costs, no maintenance plan necessary. 2. Safe. • Hydraulic fixation of the nose wheel. • Fully programmable speeds, braking curves, initial torques and over steering protection – Controlled and regulated by internal microprocessor. • Gentle treatment of the landing gear with a built in hydropneumatic system.

3. Flexible. • Maneuver a wide range of aircraft with the same Mototokmodel. • Connect the aircraft from the front or the rear. • Hydraulic nose wheel adjustment – for different nose wheel diameters. • 100 % circumferential visual control around the aircraft. 4. Easy-to-use. Docking takes a matter of seconds from the rear or front of the nose wheel. Simply drive the Mototok up to the nose wheel. The wheel is then hydraulically fixed firmly in position and raised – ready for take off! All this with no awkward strap, no inconvenient winch. No bolts or tools are required. • Radio remote controlled operating under an industrial frequency code approved for airports. • Automatic connection to the aircraft‘s nose wheel with one click. • No straps, no winch, no tools required.

Exit path of the tug
Operating with normal tugs with or without a towbar is intricate. Turning the nose wheel whilst maneuvering without moving the aircraft is impossible. And you have to consider the exit path of the tug. Thus parking the aircraft with old technology is unprofitable. You are not able to use your hangars full capacity.
Exit path of the tug
Mototok excels in tight situations: Park your aircraft safely, easily and effectively where you want: In the hangars corner, directly towards the hangars wall or near by other aircraft in the hangar. Save space in the process – depending on your hangar situation up to 60%.

HANGAR OPTIMIZATION
Typically situation in a hangar – managed with a conventional tow tractor. The biggest disadvantages are: All aircraft faces to the hangars gate because you have to consider the exit path of the tow tractor. Parking directly in a hangars corner is impossible. The distance between the aircraft has to be acceptably big. Maneuvering with a tow tractor means you have to move the machine to turn the nose wheel. Turning the nose wheel without moving the aircraft is impossible!
–– ––
In our example you are only able to put a 777 together with a 320 in the same hangar. You are not able to use your hangars full capacity!
Same hangar – more aircraft in it with Mototok SPACER: Park your aircraft directly towards a wall or in the hangars corner. You don't have to consider the exit path of Mototok due to Mototoks very compact design. „Stack“ aircraft – park your aircraft with extreme minimal distance. Mototok turns the nose wheel on the spot with no movement of the aircrafts fuselage or wingtips. Maneuvering in extreme tight situations is from now on no problem.
++ ++
For our example it means, that you can park three more A320 (or similar) in the same hangar Increase the capacity of your hangar up to 150% by optimizing parking space!

How does Mototok move every aircraft in such an effective way? Area needed for turning an aircraft about 90° with a towbar
Moving an aircraft the conventional way – with a towbar Maneuvering with a towbar means “steering by moving“. Turning the nose gear and moving the aircraft are two inseparable motions when using a towbar. Turning the nose wheel is only possible when the aircraft is moved backwards or forwards. The aircraft has to be moved several metres for the nose gear to turn and move the aircraft into another direction. This in turn increases the space needed for extensive manoeuvering.

HANGAR OPTIMIZATION
Area needed for turning an aircraft about 90° with Mototok
Moving an aircraft the innovative way – with Mototok! Manouevering with Mototok is easier by far. The fuselage and wingtips remain in position whilst turning the nose gear on the spot for manoeuvering. With Mototok both turning the nose gear and moving the aircraft are two completely different movements – the deciding advantage of the Mototok Tug Sytem. The result is a minimum requirement of space whilst shunting the aircraft. This example shows that turning an aircraft by 90° reduces manoevering space to a circle.
The steering of a Mototok is performed through different rotating speed of both processor-controlled wheel-hub motors. These carefully control the torque proportionally to each of the drive wheels.
A perfect turn on the spot is naturally no problem: one motor rotates forwards, the other backwards. Both motors recognise rotational resistance and carry out a precise turning manoevre. The steering wheels are actively turning for a true ackermann steering.

Description Mototok is a battery powered pedestrian controlled vehicle capable of moving a wide range of aircraft types.
A. Headlights B. Emergency stop C. Thread for the pink transporting eyebolts
Mototok is steered by a remote console connected to the tug either via radio or a coiled steel wired armoured cable of 15 meters length (extended). This enables the operator to view the aircraft and tug from the safest position whilst giving the best visibility. The tug can be positioned, engaged and disengaged from the aircraft by the operator remotely.

Safety first: I-OPS – Intelligent Oversteering Protection System.
Achieve more safety in your daily operation: Intelligent Oversteering Protection System (I-OPS) 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.
How this works
The difference to conventional oversteering protection systems
• 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 • Emergency release of the aircraft in less than a minute
With I-OPS oversteering is nearly impossible. I-OPS takes action actively and not only with a simple alarm or when it is too late.
10
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.
The forces and torques acting on the nosegear are measured by several weighing cells. Mototok's Intelligent Oversteer Protection System (I-OPS) prevents too high torques and initiates a counter steer action whilst either pulling or pushing the aircraft.

Mototok. Big advance. Compact design. About Mototok Mototok GmbH was founded in 2003 by Kersten Eckert, a passionate pilot and the "k" in Mototok, together with the "t" (Thilo WiersKeiser) and the "o" (Olaf Hagelkruys) in the company name. Eckert originally came up with the idea after waiting for long periods for his plane to be moved out of its hangar. Not only that, but the task needed at least two to three people to watch the wings and fuselage to make sure that the plane did not run into anything. And finally, there always had to be a pilot in the plane to operate the brakes if, for example, the pin holding the tow bar failed while manoeuvring and the plane broke free. After being in development for around five years, the first Mototok tugs hit the market in 2008 and offered new technological approaches and thus many new and unique solutions to well-known technical problems. A single person could now maintain an all-round view of the aircraft and thus supervise its movements on their own, 30% to 40% less space was required for parking and manoeuvring in the hangar and on the apron, and there were significant savings in personnel costs and shunting times. Also groundbreaking: an exclusively electric drive that was emissions-free and therefore ideal for use inside the hangar, the minimal maintenance costs and, most importantly, the fact that the pivot point of the aircraft was identical to that of the nose wheel. This was made possible by deploying an in-house developed electronic differential. As a result, neither the body nor the wings of the aircraft move during manoeuvring, ensuring maximum safety at all times. All tugs are designed to accept planes with single or dual nose wheels, both from the rear as
well as from the front. Nose wheels are easily picked up using a "one-click function" that takes only 15 seconds. Operating the tugs is so easy and intuitive that training takes no longer than three hours; a driving licence is not required. The company's customers include globally active ground handling companies, FBOs, MROs, airports, airlines, aircraft manufacturers, special forces, the navy, the military, offshore operators, industrial companies with their own flight operations and, of course, business people and private pilots with their own fleet. As well as the Helimo, which has been designed especially for helicopters, there are currently a total of six tugs with a maximum capacity of 28 tonnes (M Series), 39 and 50 tons (Twin Series) and 95 tons (SPACER). In year 2016, an electric tug capable of pulling a net weight of up to 195 tonnes was added. The product range will then be suitable for virtually all narrow-body and wide-body aircrafts and helicopters – with the exception of the A 380 and Boeing 747. The company is headquartered in Krefeld and builds the tugs in its manufacturing operation near Stuttgart, a stronghold of German engineering, close to where Mercedes and Porsche are headquartered. There are around 600 tugs in use all over the world, and the number is increasing steadily.
