Aircraft Tug Types Available from Eagle

Electric Aircraft Tugs

Electric aircraft tugs, including the ETT-8X and ETT-12X, run on a fully electric powertrain, giving ramp crews a zero-emission option for towing and pushback without sacrificing pulling power. These units are built for facilities looking to reduce fuel costs and emissions while maintaining the same reliability Eagle tugs are known for.

Diesel Driven Aircraft Tugs

Diesel driven tugs, such as the TTR-6, TTR-8, and TTR-12, deliver dependable pulling power for ramps and hangars where diesel remains the preferred fuel source. These units are built for continuous duty cycles and sized to handle aircraft from light business jets to large commercial platforms.
