INNOVATIVE DESIGN & PARTNERSHIP


Instead of reinventing the wheel, Tiger Tugs has built innovative partnerships in order to create solutions that complement its entire line of tugs. One such partnership is with Blue Moon Designs which manufactures the Heli-Saddle system.


The


Heli-Saddle system consists of steel U-shaped supports coated with polyurethane. This support is where the Tiger Tugs lifting system actually makes contact with the helicopter cross tubes. The purpose of the solution is to provide a non-marring contact surface that will not scratch or gouge cross tubes. The urethane coating exhibits the following characteristics: • •


Impervious to 5606 hydraulic fluid, jet fuel, av-gas, engine oils Extremely resistant to ultraviolet degradation • Chemically Bonded to the steel frame


All Tiger Tugs’ models work seamlessly with the Heli-Saddle in order to make better contact with the cross tube; this eliminates the tendency of the helicopter to jump out of the saddle as it is being moved.

Since Tiger Tugs lifts feature scissor-lift solutions, the saddles rise straight up to make contact with the helicopter. This is very important as it assures that when a Tiger Tugs lift is driven into position under a helicopter, and the saddles are lined up, perfect alignment is maintained during the entire rise of the lift as it makes contact with the helicopter.
