A3

Alpha 3 – The Precision Powerhouse of the Alpha Line
The Alpha 3 is the upgraded workhorse of the Best Tugs Alpha Series—designed for pilots who demand more from a dragger-style tug. With a towing capacity of up to 3,600 lbs, the A3 easily handles heavier single-engine piston aircraft with refined control and premium performance.

Built with an upgraded motor, pivoting front end, and smart torque controls, this tug makes hangar maneuvering smoother than ever before. Whether you're pulling your Cirrus, Mooney, or Bonanza, the A3 delivers unmatched power in a compact form.

Key features include:

  • High/Low Power Switch – To adjust top speed from ramp movements to in hangar. 

  • Pivoting Front End – Minimizes stress on nose gear during turns

  • Variable-Speed Throttle – Thumb throttle precision at your fingertips

  • Smart Torque Control – Protects the aircraft during startup and load transfers

  • Durable over center handle with high strength push/pull cable. 

Compatible with tailwheel, wheel fairing, and non-fairing aircraft, the A3 pushes the limits of what a dragger-style tug can do.
