🔦 LED Lighting Package – For early mornings and late nights
The Bravo 8 is also compatible with wheel pants, retractable gear aircraft, boats, trailers, and more—making it one of the most versatile tugs on any ramp.
Built from the ground up to help you fly more and stress less, the B8 includes:
✅ Smart Tug Technology
✅ Auto Throttle & Smart Torque Control
✅ Hill Start Assist & Auto Park Brake
