The Textron TUG MX4 brings lithium-electric power to demanding baggage and cargo operations. Built for airlines, ground handlers and air cargo teams, it combines an 80-volt direct-drive system with precise low-speed control for work around busy gates. Its rugged steel construction and simplified controls are designed to keep crews moving through daily ramp duty cycles.
