Todays Towbarless technology gives less cost and improved safety at push back and towing operations compared to conventional Tow Tractors with tow-bars. Latest contribution to the Towbarless family is the TBL 50, which also brings Towbarless technology into commuter aircraft handling.

Long experience

With the long experience from airline business, Kalmar Motor AB has created a series of platform trucks for die-mold handling in steel press industry. Fast and easy change of die-molds has been our goal when creating these vehicles. By an ingenious pull-push design, molds with weights up to 60 tonnnes are changed within minutes. Our experience of heavy handling makes it possible to build these platform trucks to small dimensions. This leads to improved manouverability in confined areas and so the possibility to make best use of press-shop floor space.

Among other industrial vehicles is the side-loader SL 1100 for transporting of long cargo. This is an electrical powered truck that is the base for various special adaptions. With good tractive effort and supreme manouverability it is also a popular tow-tractor in industrial applications.
