DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
 
THIS TUG NOW SHIPS WITH A MORE POWERFUL 60V DEWALT POWER UNIT! PAGES AND PHOTOS WILL BE UPDATED SOON

This tug is a turn key operation and ships stock with a Dewalt 60V power system (Drill, battery, and charger).
Designed for maximum traction!

If you have a smooth concrete, or epoxy painted hangar floor, we recommend buying our Traction Tape or Wheel Weight Hubs option to prevent tire slippage.
If purchasing wheel weight hubs, click HERE to purchase 2-25lb. CAP cast iron weights.
NOTE: These are the ONLY weights which fit our weight hubs.

NOTE:
Some tow pins are located very close to the nose gear fairing. Attach your hand tow bar to tow pins letting it rest atop the fairing's HIGHEST POINT. This may require you to insert a thin straight edge between the top of fairing and bottom of tow bar. (A combination square metal rule is perfect) Viewing from the side, note if tow bar handle is above or below a visual level line from tow pins. If level or above, you will need the "Cessna Side Hubs" option. If below level, you're good with stock forks.

5 of 5 Love it January 18, 2022
Reviewer: Dale Heppe from Lynn Haven, FL United States  
We were looking for something that would push our C-182 into our hangar that has a slight incline. It was just to much for one person to push and this product did the job perfectly. A little on the pricey side but if it holds up it will be well worth the money.

2 of 5 poor support December 30, 2021
Reviewer: Steve Baldwin from Kearney, MO United States  
The tug doesn't turn well and comes unhooked easily . It's also a little hard to hook up to the aircraft. If you call in or email you have to leave a message and it takes a long time to respond.

Minimax Customer Support - Steve, it sounds like your fork needs adjustment per the instructions. We have no records of any email from you or voicemails.  We pride ourself on our customer support.  Please give us a call at 1-855-293-8847

5 of 5 Works great for both 182 and 206 December 1, 2021
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Bedford, MA United States  
Our flying club has a Cessna 182 and 206 at KBED. The tug works great for pushing and pulling both in and out of the hangars. Love the cordless ease. Definitely get the Speedy Mover Wheels to help position it easier and quicker.

5 of 5 Cessna 182 Tug with nose Pant September 29, 2021
Reviewer: Stephen Humphries from Raleigh, NC United States  
From the first contact I was assured of success with this tug. It is exactly what is required and works like a dream using the slow drill trigger when maneuvering in close quarters. I do recommend the unit .

4 of 5 MiniMax July 12, 2021
Reviewer: Robert Mayer from San Diego, CA United States  
Im getting used to the mini max.  Its hard to turn.  I end up lifting the connected mini max to turn the nose wheel.  Sometimes the lock for the for the forks comes undone.  Thats annoying.  Other than that it seems to work good on my C 172.
