QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
The Clyde 15F2515 Quick-Change Towbar is designed for narrow-body commercial aircraft and supports multiple head options for fleet flexibility. Available heads accommodate aircraft, including Boeing 727, 737 (100-900, NG, and MAX), 757, Airbus A300/310, A318-A321neo, A220 100/300, and Fokker 70/100. This multi-head compatibility makes it ideal for airlines and MRO facilities operating mixed fleets.
Part number 15F2515 refers to the towbar body only, allowing operators to select the appropriate aircraft-specific tow heads separately. This modular configuration helps reduce capital expense when adding aircraft types, since only additional heads are required. Each extra head weighs approximately 60 lbs, making them manageable to handle on a ramp.
The quick-change towbar design allows operators to swap aircraft heads efficiently without replacing the entire towbar assembly. This improves turnaround time on busy ramps and reduces equipment redundancy. For multi-aircraft operators, it enhances ground support efficiency and storage optimization.
Yes, the Clyde 15F2515 towbar offers multiple tire options: solid, foam-filled, or pneumatic. This allows operators to select configurations best suited for smooth ramps, uneven pavement, or varied climate conditions. Choosing the right tire setup helps optimize durability and maneuverability.
An optional spliced tube configuration is available to simplify transport and storage. This can be beneficial for operators who relocate ground support equipment between hangars or airports. The design flexibility supports both permanent and mobile GSE operations.
The 15F2515 includes shear bolt protection, with an extra set provided. Shear bolts are designed to fail under excessive load, helping protect the aircraft's nose gear from structural damage. This added safeguard is critical in high-traffic commercial ramp environments.
The retractable hydraulic running gear allows operators to adjust the towbar height for proper aircraft alignment . Proper height matching helps reduce stress on the nose gear and improves towing stability. Adjustable running gear also simplifies connections across different aircraft types.
The towbar features durable, powder-coated paint to help resist corrosion and wear. Combined with its high-strength aluminum tube construction, this supports long service life in demanding commercial aviation environments. Durable finishes are essential for equipment exposed to the weather and subjected to frequent use.
The modular head system, heavy-duty construction, and configurable options make the Clyde 15F2515 Quick-Change Towbar well-suited for airline, FBO, and MRO operations. Its compatibility with multiple Boeing and Airbus narrow-body aircraft reduces the need for multiple dedicated towbars. This flexibility improves fleet efficiency while maintaining safe, controlled aircraft towing operations.
