TIGER
Heavy-Duty 60,000 lb Tow Tractors for Today's Operations
Modern Efficiency Meets Proven Reliability for Aviation, Manufacturing & Industrial Jobs
Tow Tractors & Tugs
Built for Every Application
Since 1981, Tiger has manufactured heavy-duty tow tractors for airport
ground support, manufacturing facilities, ports, resorts and government facilities. Available in lithium-ion, gas, LPG and export diesel, Tiger delivers the towing performance your operation demands in the powertrain that fits your facility.
Specifically, every Tiger tow tractor shares a 100% steel frame, common industry service parts and a standardized operator experience requiring little-to-no specialized training to own and operate. With a hitch towing rating up to 60,000 lbs. and a top speed of 15 mph, Tiger is built for applications where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.
Electric Tow Tractor
Tiger Li-Ion
Tiger Li-Ion is the heavy-duty electric tow tractor built to tackle industrial workloads. Ideal for operators looking to electrify their fleet without compromising performance and reliability. The lithium-ion powered tow tractor features a low-voltage 96V battery pack for easy service and broad charger capability, heavy-duty 75-horsepower AC induction motor, up to 60,000 lbs of towing capacity and a 5-year, 5,000-hour battery warranty.
Gas & LPG Tow Tractor
Tiger Gas
Not every operation is ready to go electric, but Tiger Gas is built for all. Powered by a Kubota engine, Tiger Gas, LPG and Export Diesel tow tractors deliver the same rugged steel chassis, 60,000-lb. tow rating and familiar operator controls as the Tiger Li-Ion model. Additionally, common industry service parts and a 2-year, 2,000-hour engine warranty keep your fleet running across aviation, manufacturing, port and container yard applications.
Lithium-Ion Tow Tractor Conversion Kit
Tiger Repower
Convert your existing tow tractor fleet to zero-tailpipe emission electric drivetrains without buying new equipment. The Tiger Repower conversion kit enables you to upcycle legacy baggage tow tractors to the latest lithium-ion technology in just one day – delivering a lower-cost path to zero emission operation.
Safety
Standard on Every Model.
From airport ramps to warehouse floors to resort tram routes, every Tiger tow tractor is engineered with operator safety built in — not bolted on. Standard features across all models include programmable speed controls, brake interlock, operator presence sensing and full LED lighting. Tiger Li-Ion also features anti-rollover technology that automatically reduces speed through turns, protecting operators across every shift.
Sustainability
Zero Emissions. Real Performance.
A single internal combustion (ICE) tow tractor emits approximately 12,000 lbs. of CO2 per year. Comparatively, the Tiger Li-Ion electric tow tractor eliminates tailpipe entirely, saving 17 metric tons of CO2 annually per unit. As a result, Tiger helps airports, manufacturing plants and ports hit sustainability targets without compromising the heavy-duty towing capacity these operations depends on.
Savings
Protect Your Bottom Line.
Tiger’s lithium-ion technology cuts 78% of maintenance labor and eliminates nearly $10k in annual fuel costs compared to combustion tow tractors. Combined with reduced parts costs, operators save more than $11,000 per unit each year. As a result, for manufacturing facilities, aviation operations and container yards running multiple units, the return on investment is measurable within the first year of operation.
