Aircraft Tugs for Sale Ohio
Brandon Jones
Aircraft tugs could be considered the most innovative idea since sliced bread – and ground support personnel in private and commercial aircraft arenas would, probably, agree – welcome to Airtug! We proudly manufacture and supply aircraft tugs of different designs and capabilities to cater to aircraft weighing up to 4,000 pounds, 8,000 pounds, and up to 16,000 pounds.
Our company’s rich history spans more than 45 years, and aircraft tugs are our specialty. Our tugs allow aircraft to be effortlessly maneuvered, parked, or positioned, anywhere – even in close proximity to other aircraft in tight spaces including hangers, storage buildings, and oversized garages.
At Airtug, our mission is simple: Offer highly-reliable aircraft tugs and make sure every Ohio customer is 100% satisfied, at all times – aka: striving to keep each Ohio customer as a customer, for life! Our customer-centric approach has earned our position as a highly-respected corporate citizen and good neighbor for the communities we serve – across town, across states, and across the globe.
Our ‘Aircraft Tugs For Sale’ Means Customer Satisfaction
At Airtug, we make a point of giving Ohio consumers what they want and when they want it. Our quality-control measures are comprehensive, and we utilize industry-leading parts & warranties with 30-day money-back guarantees.
Our Ohio customers love our aircraft tugs’ walk-behind feature that enhances operational ease and optimizes safety. As mentioned, our tugs are rated for aircraft weighing up to 16,000 pounds, and they serve FBOs and commercial and private aircraft.
Our ‘Aircraft Tugs For Sale’ Means Loving Our NFE-4
Our NFE-4 Aircraft Tug 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 utilizes a quiet 24-volt electric motor, and the tug comes with two batteries and an on-board Smart Battery charger.
The NFE-4 tug offers simplistic, single-user operation 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 become a true workhorse!
This tug’s control 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 aircraft tugs offer a universal fit for all models of aircraft. Because of this, we encourage our Ohio clients to call our office before finalizing any tug purchase. One of our team members would complete a compatibility checklist to ensure conformability between tug and craft.
If 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 to all our Ohio patrons!
