Don't bother with radio control tugs just by a lektro! I've tried both and the lektro wins everytime.

Liftow based in Norfolk are a good option against Lektro, same kit all get put through paces first normally by London City Airport Jet Centre. 80 Pushbacks in one day between 0630 and 2200 and didnt need a charge!!

dear Opsbeatch

when you say caught fire, do you mean the remote controlled demo in the Gulfstream hangar at Luton with a fully loaded Global?

Private Jet, One is manufactured and one hand crafted by a man in a body shop in Diss. Like comparing a RR with a Trabant, I would say.

Might do....

As for the the tugs, I've used both Liftow and Lektro in my time, Liftow wins everytime.

The good thing about being hand made it can be altered to your wants and needs, you're not just another number!
