Small Aircraft Tug Applications

The AircraftCaddy 15K Aircraft Tug is designed for moving small to medium sized aircraft up to 15,000 lbs. in and out of tightly stacked hangars. It is a battery-operated tug with a heavy-duty steel frame, and it can be operated in snow, sleet, or grass in a variety of different environments. High quality new and used AircraftCaddy Aircraft Tugs come with the necessary features to minimize the effects of various hazards that are found in an airfield, and they can help you keep your aircraft in a good condition.

While aircraft tugs make it a lot less physically demanding for you to move an aircraft, it still requires manual effort. You have to pull or push the plane to the desired location. Remote controlled aircraft tugs allow you to move and maneuver your aircraft by just pressing a few buttons. Most importantly, it gives you the freedom to walk around the airplane when it is being towed, enabling you to make sure that it will not come into contact with obstacles that are in its way. By moving your aircraft with a remote control, you do not need to walk back and forth or have another person stand behind the plane to check the stopping distance.

Lindbergh Aircraft Tug Co. offers a remote control option with all its tugs. The remote control comes with slow forward and backward, and emergency stopping functions to minimize the risk of bump and collision damage.

"Yes we have opened it up. My husband loves it, he took his plane out of the hanger and pulled it to have gas put in he said that it pulls his plane great and was very easy to use. I have to say he wasn't too sure when he first got it because of the size and weight of the unit, but once he used it he is loving it. Thanks again for working with me to set him up with the Aircraft caddy unit."

Laverne Macking

"I’ve had my 4K Jr. aircraft caddy for 3 years. It has been 100% reliable. Overall, I could not be more pleased with my Caddy. It has taken all of the work out of moving my airplane. It does it quietly, unobtrusively, and easily. It is definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made since owning an airplane."

Cary A.

"Yes , the caddy arrived and I already have it up and running. I love it. Really an awesome machine. Thanks for getting my caddy built and shipped promptly. I will recommend this unit to others."

Jeff Mailing

Brent Barbour

"He just wanted to let us know that we have an awesome product- He bought about a year ago and just loves his unit. He said he has used a variety of things from tractors, vehicles, gasoline tuggers in past and ours is perfect- moving his KingAir. (AircraftCaddy 15K)"

Tim Robertson

"I look forward to getting plane out of the hanger and putting away is easy!"

Duke

"This thing is worth every penny. I am the envy of the airport and even lent it to my hanger neighbor yesterday to get his twin in."

Steve Dalrymple

"We have been using the tug for about 8 months now and it is absolutely awesome. I kick myself every time I use it for being so stupid to have used the tractor for 11 years!!!"
