SkyTugs Electric Aircraft Tug – Lightweight, Foldable & Powerful Ground-Handling for GA Aircraft
SkyTugs Electric Aircraft Tug. Experience effortless aircraft movement with the SkyTugs Electric Aircraft Tug, a compact and highly
capable electric towing system engineered for pilots who need reliable ground-handling performance in a lightweight, portable design.
Perfect for aircraft owners, hangar operators, and traveling pilots, the SkyTugs system combines impressive pushing power with
unmatched portability—making aircraft repositioning easy whether you’re at home base or on the road.
Designed with convenience in mind, this electric tug features a foldable, compact architecture that stores easily in most aircraft
baggage compartments, allowing you to bring it along on cross-country trips or remote fly-ins. At only 30 lbs, it stands among the
lightest powered tugs available, yet still delivers more than 300 lbs of pushing and pulling force, giving pilots full confidence when
maneuvering in tight hangars, sloped ramps, or confined tie-down areas.
Powered by two Milwaukee M18 batteries (not included), the SkyTugs Electric Tug provides smooth, controlled movement without the
need for fuel, cords, or heavy onboard batteries. Its intuitive operating controls ensure safe handling, even for pilots unfamiliar with
powered tug systems. The use of widely available M18 batteries enhances accessibility and simplifies maintenance, allowing quick swaps for extended operational time.
SkyTugs also offers custom-fit configurations tailored to your specific aircraft model. This ensures proper alignment with nosewheel or
tailwheel assemblies and provides optimal towing stability. Customization typically requires up to two weeks, reflecting a focus on
precision fit and safe, reliable engagement with your aircraft’s gear.
