Aircraft Tugs for Sale Rhode Island
Brandon Jones
Welcome to Airtug – where our ground-support equipment allows aircraft movement to become far easier, much safer, and maximally efficient! When it comes to aircraft tugs for sale, we serve private and commercial venues from Rhode Island to Texas to California. Our rugged aircraft tugs serve FBOs and aircraft weighing up to 16,000 pounds. Backed by a 45+ year history, we manufacture and supply these indispensable pieces of machinery with various designs and capabilities.
Safety is, dramatically, enhanced when aircraft can be maneuvered, parked, and positioned with seamless ease and one-person control. Due to effortless operation in tight spaces, more aircraft can be stored in closer proximity in hangers, storage buildings, and oversized garages. The simplicity of our aircraft tugs’ operation is equaled, only, by the simplicity of our mission: keep each Rhode Island client as a client for life!
Customer satisfaction with our aircraft tugs for sale is a top-tier priority – after all, our Rhode Island patrons are a big part of the lifeblood of our success. As we maintain our position as a prominent corporate citizen and respected neighbor for the regional, national, and global communities we serve, every Rhode Island customer can be assured of top quality, smooth operation, and money-back guarantees!
Our ‘Aircraft Tugs For Sale’ = Quality + Satisfaction
It is, vitally, important that our Rhode Island clients feel 100% satisfied with our aircraft tugs for sale – all intended to meet or exceed customer expectations. Our quality-control measures align with our bedrock standards of excellence, from which, we will never deviate.
We make a point to keep our Rhode Island customers happy before, during, and after a sale – their gratitude and their loyalty is what drives us and it is, also, what continues to generate our reputation of reliability and unsurpassed customer care.
Out customers carry far more weight than our products when it comes to setting our brand apart from our competition. At Airtug, our team goes the extra mile to ensure a memorable shopping and purchasing experience becomes the expected norm – from the inquiries to the products to the shipping to the guarantees!
Our aircraft tugs’ walk-behind design is a feature our Rhode Island customers love – it optimizes operational ease and maximizes safety by offering a panoramic view, at all times – and that’s just the beginning. Our tugs’ unsurpassed maneuverability and mobility – whether on an airport apron or inside a public or private hanger – makes aircraft parking and positioning an absolute breeze!
Our ‘Aircraft Tugs For Sale’ = Loving the 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.
