Tug Technologies
Tug is the leading manufacturer of airline ground support equipment and this was my first visit to our corporate office in Marietta, GA. I am sure everyone has seen the little tractors whizzing around the airfield and the loaders putting baggage onto the aircraft, and chances are, the tractor that pushed your aircraft off the gate was built by Tug.
I manage the Phoenix, AZ location at Sky Harbor International Airport and recently had the opportunity to visit the factory and get a first hand look behind the scenes of what goes into building a Tug baggage tractor or Tug belt loader. The factory is laid out in three lanes for the various equipment being assembled. Similar to Henry Ford's conception of mass production and assembly lines, the equipment starts as a frame and moves along the assembly line while the many parts are moved into position for installation.
Enjoy the photo's and feel free to visit our home page for more information on our equipment.
