Our NFE-4 Aircraft Tug
The NFE-4 aircraft tug is a sure winner due its stoutness and incredible ease of operation. This quiet tug comes with two batteries and is equipped with an on-board Smart Battery charger, and runs on a 24-volt electric motor. The design of the NFE-4 is extremely well suited for CIRRUS Aircraft, and effortlessly moves most nose-fairing aircraft and other castering or non-castering nose-wheel aircraft up to 4,000 lbs. The NFE-4 enables, efficient single-user operation thanks to the ease of the lifting of the nose-wheel. The procedure is as easy as 1-2-3: 1) manually attach the small tow-bar to the aircraft 2) winch the tow-bar/nose-wheel onto the raised platform 3) let the tug take over.
The control of the NFE-4 tug 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.

Airtug – We are Proactive
It would be extremely frustrating to receive your aircraft tug only to discover it is not compatible with your model of aircraft. Since some airplane tugs from any number of manufacturers may not, universally, accommodate all aircraft designs, we will confirm your airplane’s compatibility before a purchase transaction is ever made. Just give us a call and one of our team-members will go over a specialized checklist, with you, to ensure airplane/tug compatibility.
