The TUG MA-50 is one of the most recognized and widely deployed baggage tractors in commercial and regional airport operations worldwide. Built by Tug Technologies Corporation, the MA series has earned a reputation for durability, straightforward maintenance, and reliable performance across decades of continuous ramp service. The MA-50 designation refers to the unit’s 5,000 lb drawbar pull (DBP) rating, which qualifies it to tow baggage carts, ground power units, lav carts, and water service carts — and to push back commuter aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) up to 60,000 lbs.
The unit currently available at Victory Ground Support Equipment is a Zero Time, fully reconditioned TUG MA-50 for sale or rent. This machine has been powered by a Ramptech Ford 300 gasoline engine and delivers the reliable 5,000 lb drawbar pull this model is known for. Zero Time means it has been completely overhauled — not simply inspected — and is ready to return to ramp duty without deferred maintenance items waiting for the next owner.
