Most inclines up to 5-6% will work, depending on the total weight and selected unit. Our rule of thumb is that for every percentage point increase in incline, the effective total weight increases by 10%. For example, if you are moving a 7,000 lb trailer up a 3% incline, the total weight increases by 2,100 lbs (30% x 7,000 lbs) for an effective weight of 9,100 lbs. While the 7,000 lb trailer on a flat surface would work with our 8,000 lb capacity unit, moving up a 3% incline now necessitates the 15,000 lb capacity unit. We like to take a closer look at anything over 5%; please contact us for more information.
We recommend using our units on flat, solid, smooth surfaces, such as concrete or asphalt. Depending on the situation, packed gravel, and hard grass/dirt can work; in this case, we recommend getting an upgraded caster. We do not recommend use on loose gravel/gravel with large rocks, wet/muddy grass, or other soft and uneven surfaces, as the tug may have an issue gaining the necessary traction. Certain ultra-smooth surfaces, such as a polished floor, may require extra traction. Please contact us if you are unsure whether your surface is compatible with our unit.
Yes, if you need to use your tug in snow or ice, a pair of snow chains is highly recommended.
In most cases, the decision between gas and electric is based on customer preference: would you rather deal with charging and maintaining the batteries or filling up the gas motor? Other considerations include the availability of an electrical outlet, whether you are using the tug indoors or outdoors, differences in sound, use in extreme heat or cold, etc.
However, we suggest a gas unit if your use case requires very frequent/constant use throughout an extended period of time, for example, needing to move a trailer back and forth several times over the course of a few hours due to battery life limitations.
We believe we are the oldest, longest-standing manufacturer of aircraft, trailer, and dumpster tugs in existence, having built the highest-quality tugs for 50 years. We have customers that still use units that are 30-40 years old, older than most of our competitor’s companies combined. While you will likely need to replace certain parts over the years, as long as the unit is well maintained, we expect them to last a long time.
