Condition (Refurbished)

The technical details for the FMC B700 Aircraft Tow Tractor, which is designed to handle aircraft up to the Airbus A340, cover its dimensions, performance metrics, engine specifications, and primary mechanical systems.

General Specifications and Capacity

The B700 tractor is configurable with different weight ratings, achieved partly through removable ballast weights:

• Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) options include 70,000 lbs. (31,751 kgs.), 60,000 lbs. (27,216 kgs.), and 50,000 lbs. (22,680 kgs.).
• Drawbar Pull (DBP) ratings correspond to the GVW: 56,000 lbs. (25,401 kgs.) (249 kN), 48,000 lbs. (21,733 kgs.) (214 kN), and 40,000 lbs. (18,144 kgs.) (178 kN).
• The overall structure uses enhanced “uni-body” steel construction for rigid durability.

Dimensional Characteristics

The key physical measurements of the tractor are:

The height for the optional elevating cab ranges from 67.0 in. (1,702 mm) when down to 83.5 in. (2,120 mm) when up.

Engine and Fuel System

The B700 uses an environmentally friendly, EPA-certified engine that meets current emissions standards:

• Manufacturer/Model: Cummins 6BTA5.9.
• Type: Diesel, water-cooled, four-cycle, Turbocharged & Aftercooled.
• Horsepower: 185 hp (138 kW) @ 2200 rpm.
• Torque Rating: 580 ft. lbs. @ 1500 rpm (786 Nm).
• Displacement: 359 cu. in. (5.88 liters).
• Fuel Capacity: 50 gal (189 Liters).

Drivetrain, Steering, and Performance

The tractor features comprehensive drive and steering capabilities:

• Transmission: Funk 2000 series power shift transmission, which includes a torque converter and inter-axle differential. It is a four-speed transmission.
• Axles: Rockwell (Meritor) front and rear planetary drive/steer axles. The rear axle is rigidly mounted, while the front axle is trunnion oscillating mounted.
• Drive/Steering: It utilizes four-wheel drive (4WD) and four-wheel steer (4WS) for superior handling.
• Steering Modes: The steering system offers three positions: coordinated (4WS) steer, crab (4WS) steer, and front (2WS) steer mode.
• Turning Radius (outside): 19 ft. 3 in. (5.9 m) using four-wheel steer (4WS), or 28 ft. 3 in. (8.6 m) using two-wheel steer (2WS).
• Maximum Travel Speeds: 15 mph (24 km/h) forward and 10 mph (16 km/h) reverse.
• Tires: 14.00R25 radials.

Braking and Hydraulic Systems

• Service Brake: A hydraulic operated pressure regulated dual system brake valve controls four (4) wheel caliper disk brakes. This system includes an electro-hydraulic motor and pump providing backup to the front and rear brakes.
• Park Brake: This is a valve actuated, spring applied and hydraulic released caliper disc brake system mounted on the input pinion flanges of both the front and rear axles.
• Hydraulic System: A centralized hydraulic system uses a piston pump featuring pressure compensation and load sensing.
• Steering System: The hydraulic operated steering control valve activates twin steering cylinders mounted on both the front and rear axles. There is also an electro-hydraulic back up steering system provided as a safety feature.
