Move more than your aircraft
Every tug comes installed with a computer software optimized for your specific plane. Nose gear damage and nose gear shimmy are completely avoidable with your Alpha.
The hybrid system allows your tug's motor to act as a generator and recharge its batteries as the tug is slowing or stopping your plane. This means your tug will last longer on a single charge and extend your batteries life.
Every Best Tugs makes up to 30 adjustments a second to maintain a constant speed, even on slopes. That means your plane will move just as smoothly coming out of the hangar as it will going in. Safe guards are also programmed in that will trip to prevent you from damaging your aircraft.
A3 will help you move your plane into the tightest corners of your hangar. Even at a slow crawl, you will have the A3's full torque and power at your disposal.
No more crouching or bending over to hook up your aircraft with Alpha's Quick Connect™ system. Take advantage of the most simple, safe, and secure way to move aircraft and eliminate the need to squat down to secure the plane. Save your plane as well as your back.
With our wide customer base, a plane we can't move is rare. Retractable gear, wheel pant, and tailwheel aircraft all have phenomenal solutions that are quick and easy to transition between if you have multiple aircraft you need to move.
With state-of-the-art technology at the core, durable hardware, and industrial framework at your fingertips; you'll use every square foot of space like never before. You can now put the same confidence in your tug as you do your plane.
