GSE Focus
JBT has introduced the fifth conventional pushback tractor to its range: the B950.
The B950 is capable of handling most widebody aircraft including the B767, A300, A310 and A330, as well as the new B787, A350, and larger B777 and A340 in all configurations.

The new model has all the features that made the B250, B350 and B650 popular, including modern driveline, front axle suspension and cab mounting isolation for greater handling and operator comfort. An automatic ZF transmission provides smooth up and down shifting.

The cab is identical to the B250/350/650 and offers options like air-ride seats, a bench passenger seat and air conditioning. Open cab and lowering cab options are available.

The layout of the B950, meanwhile, matches that of its smaller counterparts, with easy access to electrical and hydraulic components via panels on the sides of the tractor for convenient maintenance. The tractor comes with 4-wheel steer system as standard, which is fully electronic, and has superior front and rear visibility for operator and aircraft safety.

The JBT family of five conventional pushbacks (the B250, B350, B650, B950 and B1200) can service the full spectrum of commercial aircraft.
