handling of your aircraft to JBT LEKTRO, Inc. by purchasing and taking delivery of your new

control and safety.

and exceptionally maneuverable towing that your employees and customers will appreciate.
• Optional draw bar pull adjusts to varying traction requirements under different aircraft nose
weights.

and future emission control requirements.

in 1945, and that commitment continues following our acquisition by JBT. We welcome and
encourage your questions, comments, and suggestions about our current and future products
