Shop Clyde Machines Model 15F2842 B777 Towbar (all series) - 15F2842

The Clyde Machines Model 15F2842 Towbar (15F2842) is a heavy duty aircraft towbar built specifically for Boeing 777 ground handling operations. Designed to connect a tow tractor or pushback tug to the Boeing 777 nose landing gear tow fitting, it provides a rigid, dependable towing link for pushback, ramp towing, and hangar repositioning where widebody loads and tight maneuvering demand consistent control. It is a strong fit for airline and cargo ramp environments, MRO facilities, and high cycle ground support programs, and it can also support other heavy duty towing applications in industrial operations that require robust tow hardware and predictable handling.

The 15F2842 transfers towing and braking forces from the tug to the aircraft through a reinforced towbar structure and aircraft protection shear bolts. A safety lock system is designed to help avoid separation from the aircraft during towing, while the fully retractable hydraulic running gear supports easier handling and adjustable working height as crews move between the tug and the aircraft.
