Our NFE-4 Aircraft Tug – A Powerful Little Workhorse
If you’re in the mood to feel excited, check out our NFE-4 Aircraft Tug! This powerful, yet compact, piece of equipment is ideally suited for Cirrus Aircraft as well as for most nose-fairing aircraft and other castering or non-castering nose-wheel aircraft up to 4,000 pounds. The engine of the NFE-4 offers a quiet 24-volt electric motor, and the tug comes with two batteries and an onboard Smart Battery charger.
The NFE-4 tug is designed for seamless, single-user performance thanks to the ease 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, and the NFE-4 is ready to take over! The control of the NFE-4 is based on its unique ‘thumb-throttle’ system that utilizes an electric transaxle w/differential. The ‘return-to-brake’ feature prevents any unintentional movement of the craft upon release of the thumb throttle.

Not all tug designs provide a universal fit for all models of aircraft. For that reason, please give Airtug a call before finalizing any aircraft tug purchase. At that time, one of our team members will complete a brief compatibility checklist with you to ensure your craft and your chosen tug will fit, to a ‘T’.
If for any reason you feel the need to return your aircraft tug, you will receive a prompt refund! As a leading manufacturer and supplier of powered tugs for single, multi, and turbine-class aircraft, Airtug’s goal is to provide 100% customer satisfaction – always!
