Given the OPTEMPO of OKARNG aviation operations, greater than 200 hour flying program, a robust, commercial grade system is required to avoid excessive breakage and downtimes. The Tiger Tug model 8.0 is a wirelessly controlled, electrically driven helicopter moving system that uses a patented scissor lift mechanism to prevent dangerous listing during lifting and lowering. Model 8.0 is rated to lift aircraft up to 8,000 lbs. The Tiger Tug uses a patented in hub electric motor system, as opposed to other vendors who use hydraulic actuators, allowing for extremely precise movements and lowering the risk of unintended movements resulting in damage to the aircraft or surrounding structures. The Tiger Tug Model 8.0 are currently fielded to all LUH -72 units nationwide.
