The Scorpion Aircraft Tug is very resourceful and valuable in the aircraft industry today. It saves space, money time, and gas or diesel fuel costs.
This recently designed battery operated maintenance vehicle not only saves a private and or community airport a remarkable amount of money in several ways but it also saves FBO aircraft mechanics a significant amount of time when servicing airplanes.
Several pieces of equipment are usually required when servicing an airplane, equipment such as a utility vehicle, a tow truck, a crane, a tug tractor, and an auxiliary power unit.
This aircraft maintenance vehicle has the ability to tow aircraft up to 15,000 pounds gross weight, Lift its arm capacity 1,000 pounds (lift up to 2 feet high), it quickly converts from a tug to a crane, the drive throttle controls offer ultra-smooth acceleration control for speeds as slow as 1 fpm up to 4 mph, the drive system features "dead man" controls, automatic braking, and the drive handle pivots 90° for zero turning radius, it includes a folding rider plate for use as a walkie or stand-up rider, it includes headlights for improved visibility, a built in auxiliary power unit, a fire extinguisher, and amber operation light and it is clean-air battery powered for a quiet, smooth operation.
