Robotow 2.0 specifications

23.5 lb for the standard frame and 27.25 lb for the folding Pro frame, without the battery. The Dolly Wheel 2.0 is 13.55 lb.

A high-torque, brushless 18 volt motor, built into the unit. No drill to buy, and nothing to clamp on. It runs on Milwaukee M18 packs, and if you own M18 tools, the packs you already have fit.

In one Aircraft Dynamics test, a Cessna 172N went about 2,000 feet on one 5Ah battery on a flat taxiway, in Roanoke, Texas, in May 2026. That is one test on one airplane, not a rating. We have not published an 8Ah or 12Ah figure.

These dated tests. We don't publish a slope or weight limit: ramps, lips and airplanes vary too much for one number. Tell us yours and we'll tell you straight.

Standard, Pro and SF. Every airplane that fits the standard 2.0 also fits the Pro. The short frame is the particular one.

Part number 6505-6203 is the Robotow 2.0 kit (standard frame), with the Cessna 1 adapter and the standard 5Ah battery, $2,669. The fit finder and the buy box build the part number and price for your airplane; this is one example, not a full list.

A knurled black-oxide drive drum on the nose tire, a T-handle with a variable trigger, and a hookup light that lights the adapter. You walk at the nose wheel with both hands on the handle, and you steer the nose wheel yourself.

The fit list names every airplane we have checked, by maker and model, with the adapter each one takes: one adapter for each family of nose gear.

On ice or packed snow the drum can slip or ice over. It does not move skis or taildraggers. With a pant or fairing on the nose wheel, it does not fit. If the nose pant comes off, it may fit: send two photos and we will tell you.

At robotow.com: $2,669 for the standard kit and $2,869 for Pro and premium-adapter kits. Adapters on their own are $169 or $274.

A one-year limited warranty on the Robotow unit, for the first owner, whether you bought it from us, from Sporty's or from Aircraft Spruce. If something fails, we pay the shipping both ways and the turnaround is about two business weeks. Batteries and chargers are Milwaukee parts and are not covered. The warranty page has the full terms.

Robotow is made by Aircraft Dynamics Corporation of Lima, Ohio. The 2.0 is designed, fabricated, assembled and tested in Lima, Ohio. We bend and weld the steel in our own shop, and every unit runs on our resistance test stand before it ships: forward and reverse at maximum power, against a nose tire. The Robotow entered commerce in 1962; the date is on the federal ROBOTOW trademark record, and ROBOTOW is a registered trademark of Aircraft Dynamics Corporation. The company is family owned, now in its third generation.

The 2.0 replaces the 28VL and the 24SL. Their packs and chargers do not carry over. Adapters carry over by frame style: straight handle to the standard frame, Pro to Pro, short frame to short frame, never across frame styles.
