Which tug does Infinity Tugs specify for a Cessna?

ROVER. It is the remote-controlled electric tug described for Cessna and Piper types through light twins, within a published towing capacity of 5,000 kg, or up to 7,000 kg depending on configuration.

Why a remote instead of a walk-behind tug?

Because you can walk the wingtip while the tug holds the nose wheel, and keep sight of clearances a walk-behind position does not give you. The remote is included.

27 cm tall, with 6.5 cm of ground clearance. The electric winch loads the nose wheel onto the deck.

Will every Cessna model fit?

We do not publish a model-by-model list. Tell us the type. Singles within 2,500 kg can also be checked against DISCOVERY. Heavier light jets and turboprops are GRAVITY's class.

Electric tug for Cessna aircraft

Cessna is not one airplane. A training single, a heavier piston single and a light twin all wear the same name and none of them want the same ground move. What they share is a nose wheel, a wing you would like to watch, and a hangar where a second person is not always standing by. An electric tug for Cessna aircraft has to let one person see those clearances while the nose wheel is held.

That is the job published for ROVER. The product description says one person moves a Cessna, a Piper or a light twin, because the operator steers from the remote and can walk the wingtip while the tug handles the nose wheel. Published towing capacity is 5,000 kg, and up to 7,000 kg depending on configuration. The tug itself stands 27 cm tall, with 6.5 cm of ground clearance, so it sits low under the nose. Length is 115 cm and width is 114 cm. It weighs 190 kg. Maximum load on the ramp is 750 kg.

Loading is an electric winch with webbing attachment, not a manual heave on the strut. A remote is included. An integrated LED bar lights the path, and the illuminated Infinity Tugs logo doubles as a battery-level display. On the standard 14 Ah battery, expect around 30 minutes of towing per charge. A 28 Ah extended battery is available. The drive is electric, 1.4 kW, on 48 V. Grass and asphalt are both part of how the wider airplane-tug range is specified; tell us the surface you actually use when you request a quote.

A lighter single-engine piston, within 2,500 kg on straight ground, is the class DISCOVERY is built for. The named example on that page is the Cirrus SR22, not a Cessna model. If your Cessna is a single in that weight band and you want a hand-steered tug with one gear, say so and we will confirm whether DISCOVERY is the better fit. We do not publish a model-by-model Cessna list, and we will not guess one. ROVER is the tug that names Cessna.

Light jets and turboprops such as the Vision Jet, Daher TBM and Pilatus PC-12 are GRAVITY's published class, not a generic Cessna page. Large-cabin business jets are the intended class for CHALLENGER, which is still coming soon and has no towing figure yet. If you fly a Cessna single or a light twin and you want the remote, so you can watch the wing while the nose wheel stays on the deck, ROVER is the electric airplane tug to start from.

Tell us the model, the surface, and whether the move is a short hangar shuffle or a longer apron tow. We will match that to the published 5,000 kg rating, or the 7,000 kg configuration, before anything is built for you. The Piper guide covers the other family ROVER names. Both pages lead to the same quote form.
