Wheelhorse has a nice clamp and lift articulated tug. A
lawn tractor with a hitch pintle front and rear works great
and can mow, blow snow and plow.

Good luck with you company, but most small airplane owner's
just use muscle power or a clip-on tire roller.

| Alright all you pilots, linemen and pseudo-engineers...I
am in the
| process of designing the perfect single engine aircraft
tug! My
| company, ForkliftsDirect.com currently carries a line of
aircraft tugs
| ideal for planes from 12,500 MGTOW up to 30,000 MGTOW.
What we've found
| is that there is a lacking in the marketplace for a tug
that is
| designed for the single engine owner. So, here's where you
come in. In
| a perfect world, how would you like to see a tug for your
airplane
| equipped? How does it attach to the aircraft? Towbars?
Clamp & Lift
| mechanism? A simple platform with safety straps? Should
the unit be
| electric or gas? Walk behind or rideable? Any info would
be quite
| helpful to this project and is greatly appreciated. We
hope to have a
| rendering and specs in time for Osh Kosh this year. If you
are
| interested in what we are all about please check out the
website above
| or look for us in the Osh Kosh edition of "Twin & Turbine"
magazine.
