Airplane Tow Bars

TH-5

 Our TH-5 is a light-weight universal towbar designed  primarily for hand towing. The TH-5 eliminates the mad hunt for the proper towbar when moving a hangar full of singles and light twins.

For powered towing we suggest our adapter set P/N T-P228A. For Cessnas with wheel pants installed use adapter set P/N T-N182A to prevent scratching.
