DESCRIPTION TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
 
This tug ships with a 20V Dewalt power system. If you want more power, the Dewalt 60V power system must be purchased as an option.

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 you are purchasing Wheel Weight Hubs you must click HERE to purchase 2 - 25 lb. cast iron weights.
The wheel weight hubs are only the hubs and do not come with the weights themselves. The weights ship for free from the vendor in the link.
NOTE: These are the ONLY weights which fit our weight hubs


If purchasing for an RV12 be sure to make a note in the comments box at checkout.

    4 of 5 MiniMax Rv8A September 1, 2022
    Reviewer: Dilger, Al from Bakersfield, CA United States  
    Does a good job, I would like to see the lugs on the fork be adjustable which would make it a little easier to set up, also I think the small wheels should be standard rather than an option

    5 of 5 Small tug, big performance! March 17, 2022
    Reviewer: Shawn Easley from Cleveland Heights, OH United States  
    I recently purchased a minimax tug -Milwaukee 20v- for my Vans RV7a. There's a slight incline into my hanger which made putting my plane away rather difficult and nerve-racking.  I could do it manually,  but it required me to rush-push the plane over the high-spot. I became increasingly concerned that the little sped-up/momentum I needed to get the plane over the hump could result in damaging the tail by not stopping in time.
    The Minimax=problem solved! It's a very well designed and built product. Bravo to MM!

    4 of 5 RV7A MINI TUG. A Nice Product-But... December 17, 2021
    Reviewer: William Ippolito from Newport Beach, CA United States  
    I am not sure if they sent me the correct parts? I ordered the RV7A extensions but no instructions were included.  A telephone query supposedly explained it but I could not identify any of the details quoted to me when I actually looked at the tug. However they didn't seem to be needed so I spent $24.95 plus tax etc for nothing.

    5 of 5 Excellent Product September 1, 2021
    Reviewer: RV-7A Pilot from Mt Vernon, IA United States  
    The tug is very capable and removes the roadblock of moving my plane (RV-7A) back into its hanger. There are ramps over a 2” tall lip in front of hanger. Manually moving the plane was becoming a deterrent to flying. This tug eliminated this deterrent.  I’m a very satisfied customer and would recommend it to others.

    It paid for itself the first time I used it !  So nice not to grunt and fart trying to get the bird back inside.
