If keeping your investment SAFE, SECURE AND UNDER CONTROL is important to you, we have the TUG for your ‘peace of mind’. At SMARTug, we believe a tug should be easy to use, require little physical strength to operate and make your life more efficient. SMARTug offers a line of Patent Pending remotely controlled mechanical devices for maneuvering aircraft in and around hangers and ramp areas. The design focus of SMARTug is to provide a platform that is truly easy to use, does not require physical strength to operate and allows the user the freedom to move around the aircraft, untethered from the tug, to visually maintain safe distances with other aircraft or structures.SMARTug is based in SE Florida and we are proud to say we manufacture our products in the USA. We are also committed to developing and utilizing domestic suppliers whenever possible.
SMARTug’s low profile provides exceptional prop clearance for those larger single engine aircraft. Our SMARTug Model-M3A, is currently approved up to 10,000 lbs. GMOW aircraft with ongoing testing for aircraft up to and exceeding 12,500 lbs. GMOW. The SMARTug line operates on a secure, wireless frequency to prevent interference from random radio signals. Additionally, the control has a ‘Fail-safe Shutdown’ feature which will stops the vehicle should the signal from the hand-held remote be lost. MARTug is also engineered to minimize stresses to the nose gear via the highly engineered, Patent Pending drive system. This all electric vehicle is equipped with a heavy duty hydraulic system to gently lift and lower the aircraft nose gear providing added ground clearance for maneuvering as well as lowering the tail which provides added clearance under hanger door openings. SMARTug is also equipped with Halogen Lighting for nighttime operations and an easy to use controls for loading and lifting. Avoid getting dirty or greasy with the integrated winch and lifting system which loads and secures your aircraft gently with the push of a button – NO hand cranking a winch or pumping a hydraulic jack.
SMARTug also features a unique Patent Pending ‘Yoke Hook System’ This system attaches easily to the yoke and stay in place even before the winch is tensioned. This unique design stays clear of any linkages as well as the highly polished surface of the strut to prevent damage. Additionally, the Yoke Hook is coated with an engineered elastomer to cushion and protect painted surfaces of the nose gear.
SMARTug is intended to be versatile. We offer accessories that can assist with tasks beyond managing your aircraft. If you use your hanger for storage of an RV, the ‘Receiver Attachment’ will allow you to position your boat or trailer precisely where you need it to maximize the space you have available.
Here are the dye benefits:
• Smooth, quite electric operation (unlike gas powered tugs)
• The nose is safely secured to avoid any possibility of tipping the aircraft on it’s tail
• Scoop-loading system takes less tan 10 seconds to safely load and secure the aircraft to the tug
• Remote control allows precision movement and positioning of large aircraft in tight quarters – even with one person
• Extremely easy to learn and easy to control
• Fail-safe operation – any loss of controller radio signal quickly and smoothly stops the tug
• Dual battery capacity means more time between charges
• Snow chains allow operation on snow or icy ramps
• 12 or 24V GPU options for jump starting piston engines or for operating avionics
• Compact design that unlike large hands tugs, takes up very little floor space
• High weight capacity up to 12,000 pounds!
• Ships fully assembled and factory tested
• Scoop and load operation
We look forward to hearing from you!
