Romeo 18 – Maximum Remote-Controlled Power
“Look, Mom—no hands!” The Romeo 18 (R18) is a very capable tug in our Romeo lineup—built for large turboprops, jets, and commercial operations that demand serious towing power with zero compromise on safety or visibility.
Designed for solo operators, the R18’s remote control system lets you spot your aircraft from every angle while maintaining total control. The built-in Soft Start/Stop technology ensures smooth directional changes, reducing shock loads on nose gear and minimizing risk during precise maneuvers.
Key features include:
✅ Remote-Controlled Operation – Precision control without needing a spotter
✅ Soft Start/Stop System – Protects aircraft structure during movement
✅ Heavy-Duty Towing Capacity – Designed for large aircraft and demanding environments
✅ Standard Floor-Safe Tires – Safe on polished or epoxy-coated hangar floors
✅ Ideal for FBOs, flight departments, and private pilots
If you’re moving high-value aircraft and need max capacity + hands-free control, the Romeo 18 is the tug to trust.
