TUG 660 Lithium Electric Belt Loader
Samsung-lithium belt loader — heavy-duty axles, 4-wheel disc brakes, single-shift autonomy on opportunity charge.
The TUG 660 is Textron's reference narrow-body belt loader, configurable in Samsung-lithium, gas, diesel and lead-acid drivetrains. The lithium variant ships standard with heavy-duty axles, 4-wheel disc brakes, and Smart Sense anti-collision. Single-shift autonomy on opportunity charge addresses the operational reality that GCC narrow-body turnarounds peak in midday heat — diesel idling becomes both a Scope-1 and an operator-comfort liability. The 660 lithium delivers single-shift duty without recharge during a 14-hour DXB summer day on the apron.
