Airtug Nfe-6 Electric Aircraft Tug
MFR Model# NFE-6

Overview
| This quiet electric model makes moving the aircraft a simple task for a single person by lifting the nose-wheel off the ground! Much easier to hookup and control the aircraft than a single wheel tug that is not able to lift the nose wheel off the ground. Simply attach the small towbar by hand to the aircraft and then winch the tow-bar / nose-wheel onto the raised platform for total control by the tug. The NFE-6 model AirTug® is extremely easy to use because of its’ unique “Thumb Throttle” system utilizing an electric transaxle with differential and on board Smart Battery Charger. For your safety, “Return to Brake” feature prevents any unintentional movement of the plane when the thumb throttle is released. There is no metal to metal contact, no gears to shift and no jerky clutching systems to quickly wear out. Its’ pinpoint handling allows the operator to pivot as tight as desired as a result of the differential transmission. All of these features simply make this quiet, aircraft tug a good value in the industry! |

Per the manufacturer: The NFE-6 is ideal for the Piper Lance. The tug will work with the Husky, but we would need to know the width and diameter of the tailwheel to make sure we send the right chock. The customer would also need to make sure he has somewhere to connect the “strut strap” or “J hook” to winch the Husky into the chock on the platform. Once the customer received the tug they would need to determine the correct location for the tailwheel chock and drill two holes for the chock to mount.
If this isn’t clear, we would be happy to chat with you or the customer to explain in more detail. But, the short answer is yes this tug should work with both planes.
Yes that would work with a 182.
