| Towing Bar - Heavy Gliders |
|
Tow bar allows you to tow the glider by a car equipped with the ISO-50 ball towing connection. We have elegant solution both for light or heavy gliders. For heavy gliders we consider: gliders with water ballast with MTOW over 525kg, twoseaters, open class, self starting powered gliders.
The towing bar is telescopic and can be shortened for transport very quickly and easily. Just push the lock button and push together. The towing bar is mainly made of anodised aluminium, the force parts are made of zinc-galvanised steel. Wing dolly has to be modified before use - simply screw a metal sheet with hinge tube between the dolly body and dolly wheel. This part is, of course, shipped with the bar and is included in the price. We have delivered more than 60 tow bars of this type to our consumers since 2007, they are more and more popular. The positive feedbacks were also for the lightweight design and easy connection to the glider (You don´t have to heave the tail of heavy gliders). We offer them now in two lengths (160 and 180cm) and with or without heaving adaptor for easy tail dolly installation.

The system intended for heavy gliders doesn´t bear the tail
of the glider, it only pulls/pushes and steers the direction, the
glider rides on the tail dolly. The towing bar connects to the
taildolly by robust steel tube hinge with closing lock. To
mount/dismount the towing bar, simply raise it up to the angle of 45°
and pull out from the tail dolly hinge.
