It's all about gear ratio. A low power tug can haul anything but very slowly. Simple physics.
If a 767 is your idea of small then I would hate to see what large planes would be classified as according to you.

The fact that you said a 767 is small and that airplanes can’t move backwards on their own shows how much knowledge is lacking here.
I know he,did NOT classify a Boeing 767 and Bombardier Global Express as"SMALL"aircraft. Someone is, NOT fact checking here.

Many planes have reverse thrusters which can be used in a pinch to move backwards. Mainly they are used at touch down with the brakes to slow and/or stop a plane.

No. They are NOT authorized to use thrust reversers at any airport terminal because of danger in blowing debris at terminal. If you ever see that use it will be on third or fourth world airport, like Russia where they don't give a damn about nothing.. Thrust reversers are exclusivly used for initial breaking after landing.

The example of “smaller planes like the 767 and Bombardier” seems to suggest a lack of knowledge of the broader selection of commercial aircraft models.
The mixed balance between music and dialogue is excellent....I would consider a de-esser however.

I was a ramp agent in the late 80's early 90's and we would use the "power-back" method on all aircraft up to the 757 anything bigger would be pushed from the gate
Never heard of a powerback huh? Any craft that can produce reverse thrust can back up on its own...

@@st.denysthemartyr791 the problem is the reverse thrust kicks up debris and generally makes the gate area unsafe. Also, when reversing at slow speed, the engines are more likely to ingest debris. Finally. With snow, it blows the snow up onto the underside of the plane, which is not good.

Worked ramp for untied back in the day. The little baggage tractors had enough power to push back a 747. What they lacked was the ability to stop one.

Awesome!
@0:57 Airplanes do have reverse thrust- enough to slow it down. I'm sure they could backup using it but then it would also throw alot of equipment at the building so bad idea and thus the pushback truck.
Planes can move back on their own but it's generally unsafe to use the reverse thrusters so close to ground staff and also quite inefficient.

Tug truck vs tug boat??
It was amazing that 30 years ago, my dad setup a company to produce these equipments
Not every part of an airport is the runway
👍
'To push airplanes' Tug boat???
767 small ? 😂 wow, am afraid
280 horsepower? So ur telling me if u put a hellcat engine in one of those that it would basically make the plane go brrrrr
Push tugs
Weight, HP are used to get that INITIAL torque to get the dead weight moving, I suppose?
Didn't know a 767 was considered small 😂..
This video is very incomplete. You started talking about pushbach cars and ended up talking about tug boats which are not even land vehicles. Mainly you missed about the pushback cars used to push jumbo jets.
They’re on wheels not exactly a dead weight
I hear people talking about how he called the Boeing 767 "small" but all he did say was smaller
Many passenger jets can perform a power back
You seem to change the subject drastically in like half your videos
Did you mean 1800 horsepower. Cuz 1800 rpm isn’t much.

Not entirely true that aircraft cannot reverse as reverse thrust can be used but is impractical and uneconomic although it is entirely possible to reverse an aircraft in this manner.
Actually one strong man can move a plane, so...
100 thousand pounds for that ??

Dont they have reverse trusts
Fact check, they don't weigh 50tons on their own. We pull them in the US all the time on flatbeds/stepdecks/rgn's from reman facilities and manu's to the airports all the time under gvw 80k(40t) they usually weigh in the ballpark of 25k(12.5t) to 30k(15t)

You guys don't mention the torque on the airplane pushbacks and tell no numbers on the tugs, why?

Because they would not be a barge but a cargo ship or vessel and would cost exponentially more. You would also need a crew and a Master to man it.
planes can reverse on their own using reverse thrust... but they are unsafe to use near the ramp area and are also very loud. that is y tugs are used. also 767s are not small, how can someone even categorize 767 with a global express XDD
1- 767 is a widebody and definitely not small. 2- you keep saying runway when you mean ramp or taxiway
It has nothing to do with power it's all about the gearing 👎😢
What😵😵😵 airplanes have no reverse. What a joke. Next time park your plane in an incline🤪
Why do they always move on to something else? Make a 5 minute video and then another one. It drives me nuts lol.
i don't know, cruise ships seem to do just fine w/o tugs. they come and go and turn 180 deg and more leaving the port of miami and geiranger norway. and they don't need tugs to dock or leave the dock. they use thrusters and can move sideways. container ships are another story. they don't have thrusters and need tugs to maneuver in tight places and for docking.

Azipods, … no risk of ingesting debris using trust reversers, 360° visibility, ….
280 hp, so not that powerful at all. Most mid size & larger farm tractors are more powerful & to be honest the push back truck doesn’t need more. Airports are usually flat & the low low gearing means the push back tug doesn’t need high power as it only moves slowly. The main reason for the size & weight is obviously traction, they need to be able to grip the ground surface in all weathers.
