If it flies, we move it – quickly and carefully
Kalmar Motor has worked in the same field for more than 40 years. We develop and manufacture aircraft tractors.
We move commercial aviation aircraft of all sizes. Quickly and carefully with accessibility 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. That requires more than muscles.
By combining simplicity with the latest cutting edge technology, we create tractors that last longer, require less service, and offer a level of comfort that enables drivers to achieve top performance.
TBL comes from Kalmar
Several of the functions that are now standard for aircraft tractors were developed by us. Kalmar has become a synonym for towbarless tractors (TBL), first
launched in 1989. Even today, Kalmar offers a unique TBL function that allows attachment without having to lift or move the plane.
All the tractors from Kalmar Motor are equipped with conventional transmission with the latest automatic transmission technology. This means seamless gear shifts, and smooth driving with lower fuel consumption, greater dependability, and a longer life compared to hydrostatic drive systems.
A work environment for long shifts
All tractors have the same standard cab with the driver positioned centrally and the same line of sight in both directions. The fact that several models have the same cab makes for faster training. Thanks to the latest CAN bus technology, all the information is available on a
monitor in front of the driver. Cabs and wheel axles have hydropneumatic suspension to ensure the highest level of comfort.
The drivers seat rotates 180 degrees. The steering wheel, controls and instruments also move and adjust themselves so that the driver always drives facing forwards, regardless of the direction. The three largest tractors also have cabins that can be raised or lowered.
Tow even without personnel in the cockpit
The TBL 50 is the only tractor on the market that can handle a wide range of commuter aircraft with formal NTO approvals. This is possible thanks to the very sophisticated patented cradle design combined with the F.A.C.T.® System. These two systems control the tractive and braking forces as well as the torque and angle in
an extremely accurate way. This makes it possible to achieve the very tough requirements set by the airframe manufacturers for handling commuter aircraft. The cradle also have the very unique feature of a mechanical torque release, similar to the fuse pin in a tow-bar. Combined this makes the TBL 50 unique on the market today. We also implement the same type of force control system to the Kalmar conventional towing tractors, to reduce the risk if an over sized conventional tractor is used.
Kalmar Motor has the right tractor for every airport, and for every kind of aircraft used in commercial aviation, from regional aircraft to the largest aircraft in use, the Airbus A380.
