Abstract
A traction vehicle for moving a nose wheel of an aircraft comprises a wheel-mounted chassis including an engagement and hoisting device that can be raised and lowered. The engagement and hoisting device has a nose-wheel holder and a U-shaped stand having an opening facing the aircraft. The nose-wheel holder and the stand are shaped as two separate units and have co-operating journaling members arranged in a circular arc to provide rotational movement between the holder and the stand.
