DESCRIPTION ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
 
The perfect tug for your Grumman. It works with all models of the AA1 and AA5. This tug ships with a 20V Dewalt power system. If you want more power, the Dewalt 60 Volt 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

5 of 5 Game changer Thursday, June 11, 2026
Reviewer: David Jones from WILLISTON, VT United States  
My Tiger lives in a hangar shared with a Cessna 152. Getting the Cessna out is easy, getting the Tiger out takes great care but putting it back and pushing it up hill was a bear and not a single person job. The Minimax Tug is a game changer. I can easily answer safely get it moved up hill and over a significant lip at the edge at the hangar entrance (just need to be in motion when I hit it). It makes the job of putting the aircraft away pretty painless. I was concerned I might need the upgraded power model, but the entry level works great!

5 of 5 Great Wednesday, April 15, 2026
Reviewer: Matias Barbero from Cape Coral, FL United States  
It made pushing my Grumman Tiger into my hanger that has a bit an incline a total non issue by myself 5/5 Stars! - I had a remote controlled tug in the past but for the price of the minmax, it wins hands down. Does the same job at less than 1/2 the cost.

4 of 5 Good value for a lite-duty Tug Tuesday, January 6, 2026
Reviewer: Brian White from Lewes, DE United States  
Purchased for a flying club whose membership includes pilots having a wide range of ages and physical abilities.  If using the tug keeps one member out of the ER, it will have paid for itself.

5 of 5 Thursday, October 23, 2025
Reviewer: Fran Saunders from Pacific Haven, Queensland Australia  
Very pleased with the tug although it was rather useless sending me the charger as Australia uses 240volt electricity
I had to purchase a new 240 volt charger here for an e tra $249.00.  Your prompt service was very much appreciated.
