Bravo 8 – Our Best-Selling Tug for General Aviation Pilots

The Bravo 8 (originally the Echo) is our best-selling general aviation tug, and for good reason—it’s a true workhorse. Whether you fly a piston twin, single-engine turboprop, or even a Robinson helicopter, the B8 is built to handle it all with power, precision, and safety.

With a wide range of optional upgrades, including:
🔧 High-Lift System – Perfect for tail-down hangar clearance
🔋 Ground Power Unit (GPU) – For safe aircraft starts
💨 Onboard Air Compressor – For tires and tools
🔦 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
✅ Precision Twist-Grip Throttle
✅ Full-Torque control at any RPM

You’ll feel confident towing within inches of a wall, maximizing every bit of your hangar space with ease. The Bravo 8 makes safe, convenient towing a reality.
