At the request of the U.S. military, Eagle Tugs adapted their proven, All Wheel Drive (AWD) TT series aircraft tractor into an AWD utility tractor. This combination aircraft tractor and burden carrier is known as the Eagle Utility Standard Aircraft Towing System, or USATS. Engineered to meet the requirements of today’s military flight operations, the Eagle USATS AWD aircraft tractor packs a significant amount of value into a versatile, compact package.
Here is what the USATS-8 has to offer:
- Standard All Wheel Drive power train – providing safe, controlled traction on all surface conditions.
- AWD power train allows for the tug to weigh 1/3 less than a Rear Wheel Drive tug, which makes the USATS ideal for air transportation.
- Certified for air transport in CH-47, C-130, C-5 and C-17.
- 8,000 lbf. DBP for towing aircraft.
- Up to 500 lbs. cargo carrying capacity on a 60 X 90 inch deck, with built-in tie downs.
