Denny Yen 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2005 Saw this at BKK. This is the 2nd I saw it, first time in HKG. It has Crab logo on right side. The "claw" angled looks more like scorpion to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2005 This sort of giant crab mover is a hit. The feeling when it actually "Lift" the nose gear and "hug" it, then push or pull. Less connection between plane and tow truck like normal way of towing a plane. I've seen one towing an aircraft with unbelievable speed Once we had to be towed and pull forward about 3 bay ahead because all 3 wants to push back, i felt such speed more than we taxi!! for got the ground speed!

Denny Yen 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2005 Imran: Its only 2nd time I see it. Still quite rare amongst airports, not even in NRT/TYO. TK's description "hug and lft"...macam National Geo describing how a scorpion kills its enemy. Hug, lift then flip it over before stinging it with poison.
