What is the difference between the ETT-8X, ETT-12X, and ETT-16?

The ETT-X series offers three towing capacity configurations. The ETT-8X is designed for light to mid-size business jets. The ETT-12X serves mid-size jets and smaller regional aircraft. The ETT-16 is built for larger regional and narrow-body commercial aircraft applications. All three models share the same electric drive platform and towbar attachment design.

Can the ETT-X tug operate inside an aircraft hangar?

Yes. Because the ETT-X runs entirely on battery electric power, it produces no exhaust emissions and operates safely in enclosed maintenance environments including hangars, paint shops, and MRO bays. The electric drivetrain also reduces noise levels compared to diesel-powered alternatives.

Is the ETT-X series available for lease?

Tronair offers leasing options for the ETT-X series and other ground support equipment. Contact the Tronair sales team or visit the leasing information page to discuss terms for your operation.

ETT-X Aircraft Tugs

Tronair's ETT-X Series is a lineup of electric aircraft tugs built for professional ground support operations at FBOs, MROs, airlines, and defense maintenance facilities. Each model connects to the aircraft via a towbar, providing precise and controlled towing across a range of aircraft weights on the ramp.

Three Models. One Platform. Scalable Towing Capacity.

The ETT-X series offers three models covering a wide range of aircraft weights from light business jets to larger regional and narrow-body commercial aircraft. All three share the same electric drive platform and towbar attachment design.

ETT-8X - Light to Mid-Size Business Jets

The ETT-8X is designed for light to mid-size business jet applications. View compatible aircraft and specifications on the ETT-8X product page.

ETT-12X - Mid-Size Jets and Regional Aircraft

The ETT-12X handles mid-size jets and regional aircraft with increased towing capacity. View compatible aircraft and specifications on the ETT-12X product page.

ETT-16 - Larger Regional and Narrow-Body Aircraft

The ETT-16 is built for larger regional aircraft and narrow-body commercial aircraft. View compatible aircraft and specifications on the ETT-16 product page.

Built for Commercial Aviation Environments

All ETT-X models run entirely on battery electric power. This means zero direct emissions during operation, reduced noise levels compared to diesel alternatives, and safe operation in enclosed environments including maintenance hangars and paint shops. Electric drive also reduces long-term maintenance costs compared to diesel or gas-powered tow tractors.

Compatible Aircraft Applications

The ETT-X series is compatible with a wide range of manufacturer aircraft lines including Bombardier, Cessna, Dassault, Embraer, Gulfstream, Hawker, Textron, and others. Each product page contains a full compatibility list organized by manufacturer and model.
