About ATA Tow Tractors

ATA Tow Tractors started in Modena in the early postwar years. The company began by assembling small towing tractors for use inside brick kilns. It also built spare parts and equipment for farms. This early work in industrial towing set the direction for its later products.

The company now works with clients around the world. Airlines and airport operators in Italy and abroad use its equipment. Port authorities in Europe, North Africa, and Asia operate its tractors. Large industrial sites in automotive manufacturing, heavy industry, and general towing also buy its machines.

Its airport product line covers electric tractors for baggage sorting, ground support, and helicopter towing. Diesel and LPG tractors move cargo and baggage. These come with or without cabs. A dedicated tractor handles aircraft pushback and towing. Towed passenger stairs reach working heights up to six meters. The range also includes towed and self propelled baggage belt loaders for loading and unloading.

For industry, the company builds tractors for indoor and outdoor towing. Buyers can choose new machines or used and reconditioned units. Rental tractors are available for short term needs. The company also supplies spare parts to keep fleets running. It states that each vehicle is configurable and customizable in every detail.

Alongside its own tractors, the company distributes other ground support products. It supplies Hobart ground power units. It also provides Trilectron air conditioning and air start units. Lektro electric towbarless aircraft tugs are part of the offering. The company stocks spare parts for ground power units, toilet units, potable water units, and air starters.

In 2025 the company presented its first hydrogen powered tractor. It is built for cargo operations and can tow up to fifty tonnes. The company also launched the H2TOW hydrogen retrofit kit. This kit lets existing tractors convert to hydrogen power for zero emission towing.
