Everything You Need on the Ramp
The Romeo remote control tug series is built for precise aircraft movement and hangar stacking.
The Romeo series brings Torq Sense aircraft protection technology to owner-operators, maintenance facilities, and corporate flight departments where precise movements matter. 6 configurations from 5,000 to 24,000 lbs share the same intelligent platform: plane-specific software, auto throttle, hill start assist, auto park brake, and hands-off loading. All built in Spanish Fork, Utah, by pilots who understand what’s at stake.
Intelligent Ground Handling. Every Move.
The technology behind every Romeo model — protecting aircraft, operators, and your operation from the first move to the last.
Torq Sense — Built In Protection
Not a warning system. A prevention system.
The Romeo series monitors nose gear torque in real time, making 100 decisions per second. When force approaches the safe limit for the specific aircraft type being towed, the tug throttles back automatically before the operator can react, and before damage occurs. Every model ships with plane-specific software installed for your aircraft.
Designed for Owner Operator
Precise and reliable controls from day one
Romeo’s intuitive handheld remote puts complete control in your hands from wherever you’re standing. Speed, direction, and braking respond predictably with every input, making it as easy to master on your first flyout as it is second nature on your hundredth.
Built for the Ramp.
Engineered for the Long Haul.
Purpose-built commercial grade ground support equipment built in Spanish Fork, Utah. Designed by pilots who understand aircraft movement.
