LOADED WEIGHT
These charts show the load capacity, in U.S. pounds, that each tug is capable of—for
specific grades, in degrees, for a given duty cycle.
Example 1: you have a E12 tug spec’d
for a King Air C90gtx and you do your
buddy a favor and move their King Air
350—you have just damaged the gears.
Failure is now a matter of when—not if.
Example 2: you used a E12 spec’d for
your King Air C90gtx, and pulled it up
a “short” 3-degree slope—you have just
damaged the gears. Failure is now a
matter of when—not if.
If you find that you have the wrong
tug for your plane’s environment,
please call us and exchange your tug
for the appropriate model. We have a
30-day exchange policy; you only pay
for the price difference and freight.
Did we mention that you need to
chock your mains?

Note: The issue with power train dam-
age is that it is cumulative. Typically it
does not cause immediate catastrophic
system failure, but rather a one-time
out-of-spec usage could damage your
power train such that regular in-specs
operation is now causing small cumula-
tive damage.
