Thank you for taking an interest in Airtug – where the manufacturing of robust, high-quality motorized tugs of all types has been our mainstay for almost 50 years. There’s an adage: Quality is more than making an exceptional product – it’s making an exceptional impression. Those words, aptly, apply to our company’s unyielding mission to supply California and the world with motorized tugs that make daily movement-operations a whole lot easier, far safer, and noticeably more efficient.
At Airtug, we place paramount importance on product quality, but that’s only the beginning. We place a priority on the transparency of our word, the efficiency of our services, and the utmost customer care. These values are embedded in our company’s culture, philosophy, and everyday operations.
Integrity is center-stage as we balance our values, our profit margin, and our long-term goals. Being a responsible corporate citizen and good neighbor to the communities we serve– nationally and internationally – means working diligently towards keeping each customer as a client for life!
Aircraft Tugs – Our Specialty
Airtug offers a vast array of aircraft tugs that cater to FBOs and commercial and private planes. Our tugs are a walk-behind configuration, with some rated for aircraft up to 16,000 pounds. One aircraft tug, in particular, is our NFE-4 – one that just might grab your attention. It is quiet, compact, and the BEST option for Cirrus aircraft. This aircraft tug moves most nose-fairing aircraft and other castering or non-castering nose-wheel aircraft up to 4,000 pounds.
The NFE-4 Aircraft Tug comes with two batteries and has an on-board Smart Battery charger. The engine is a 24-volt electric motor. Impressive ease of single-user operation is made possible by the simplicity of the lifting of the nose-wheel. Just attach the small tow-bar to the aircraft and winch the tow-bar/nose-wheel onto the raised platform – voile! – the NFE-4 is ready to roll!
This aircraft tug’s seamless control is based on its unique ‘thumb-throttle’ system that utilizes an electric transaxle w/differential, and the ‘return-to-brake’ feature prevents any unintentional movement of the craft upon release of the thumb throttle.

We Ensure Compatibility
At Airtug, we take the extra step to ensure our California patrons select a tug that not only fits their budgets, but accommodates their aircraft. Some aircraft tugs, from any number of manufacturers, may not adapt to all aircraft models. We will confirm airplane compatibility before any purchase is finalized.
If you have any questions, please give our team a call. We will be happy to go over a specialized compatibility checklist to safeguard your purchasing experience.
You MUST Be Satisfied, Or Your Money Back
If any of our California patrons choose to return an aircraft tug within the first 30 days of purchase date, we will provide a prompt refund – that is our promise to you! Making sure every customer is happy with every purchase is our Job-1. Anything less would be unacceptable.
Also, our team is pleased and proud to donate a portion of proceeds to help support the Veterans Airlift Command. This patriotic organization offers free flights for wounded veterans and their families to reach necessary appointments and take part in special events.
