The AircraftCaddy Magic Arm 8K is a battery powered, walk‑behind tug that lets a single operator load and move aircraft up to 8,000 lbs in and out of tight hangar rows or staging areas on the ramp.
Its integrated Magic Arm automatically slides under the nose wheel, lifts, and locks it into position so you no longer have to crawl or kneel under the aircraft to hook up the tug. Smooth electric drive, variable speed control, and precise braking give you gentle starts and stops that protect both aircraft and hangar doors while taking the strain off the operator.
The result is a compact, heavy duty tug that turns aircraft handling into a quick, repeatable, one person task instead of a sweaty, multi person chore.
The AircraftCaddy Magic Arm 8K is ideal for:
General aviation aircraft with single nose wheels up to 8,000 lbs
Private hangars that need one person to move aircraft in and out daily
FBOs and flight schools that frequently reposition aircraft for fueling, maintenance, or training
Corporate and charter operators that want consistent, low risk ground handling for high value aircraft
Maintenance and refurbishment shops that regularly tow aircraft into tight work bays
Operations that want to eliminate manual pushing, reduce injury risk, and improve turnaround time while keeping noise and emissions low
In the AircraftCaddy lineup, the Magic Arm 8K is the ergonomic upgrade for operators who want 8,000 lb capacity plus faster, safer nose‑wheel hook up on every move.

The CartCaddyLite electric cart puller can help avoid back strain for many people in the healthcare industry. Doctors, nurses, technicians, maintenance workers, and more can benefit from using this piece of equipment to efficiently complete some of their day-to-day tasks, all while avoiding unnecessary workplace injuries.
Linen carts used to transport linens to and from patient rooms are often very large and difficult to move through the constricted hallways of a nursing home, clinic, or hospital. Pushing carts repeatedly throughout the day can cause chronic neck and back strain and pain for workers. The CartCaddyLite is a perfect solution: it reduces stress and cuts down the risk of workplace injuries.
