QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The TR-34C is equipped with a spread clevis hitch, designed to connect securely to aircraft nose gear with a 3/4-inch attachment point. This hitch type provides strong and stable towing capability, making it well-suited for a wide range of general aviation aircraft. Its clevis design also allows for simple connection and removal during ramp operations.
This towbar has an adjustable telescoping design that extends from 7’ 8” inches to 8’ 8”. The telescoping feature allows ground crews to adjust the bar length for different aircraft and towing situations. This flexibility improves handling and makes it easier to achieve the correct towing angle.
The TR-34C towbar is constructed from heavy-duty steel for strength and long service life. It comes finished in a high-visibility orange coating, making it easy to spot on busy ramps or hangar floors. The durable coating also helps protect the towbar from wear and corrosion.
The spread clevis hitch on the TR-34C is ideal for aircraft with a ¾” diameter nose gear lug. This is a common attachment standard across many general aviation aircraft, making the TR-34C a versatile tool. Always confirm aircraft compatibility or consult Brackett’s adapter reference before towing.
Yes, the TR-34C is specifically designed for towing aircraft equipped with nose wheels. It is not suitable for tailwheel aircraft or other landing gear setups without the proper tow points. Using the towbar only with approved nose-wheel aircraft ensures safe and effective operation.
No, the TH-34C towbar is not designed with brackets or fittings for wheel installation. It is a hand-carried towbar intended for direct connection to the aircraft, making it lightweight and easy to maneuver without additional hardware. For operators who require a wheeled option for easier transport around the ramp or hangar, Brackett offers alternative towbar models specifically built with integrated wheels.
