A traction vehicle (2) for moving an aircraft (1) comprises a wheel-mounted chassis (7) and an engagement and hoisting device (12) that can be raised and lowered and comprises a U-shaped stand (17); journalling members (15), flexibly connecting the stand to the chassis; actuators (13), arranged between the stand and the chassis to raise and lower the engagement and hoisting device relative to the chassis; and a nose-wheel holder (18), mounted on the stand to carry and hold the nose wheel (4) of the aircraft. In accordance with the invention, the nose-wheel holder and stand are designed as two units and have co-operating journalling members (70, 71), arranged in a circular arc and defining a vertical axis of rotation for said units, the nose-wheel holder being U-shaped to form a space for receiving the nose wheel. The invention also relates to such an engagement and hoisting device. |
