The original Mooney Mover was built for a real Mooney problem: an incline, door rails, a concrete lip, and one person trying to move the airplane without turning it into a wrestling match.
It gives you powered help for normal ground handling while keeping the setup simple, portable, and easy to understand. It breaks down for storage, uses common cordless-tool battery platforms, and is built for Mooney owners who want practical help without paying the usual “because airplane” markup.
Choose the battery holder and Mooney body type before ordering. If your airplane or hangar setup is unusual, send a note first and include your model, tail number, and what kind of ground-handling problem you are trying to solve.
- Helps with door rails, concrete lips, slight slopes, and tight hangars
- Breaks down for hangar or baggage-compartment storage
- Built around common cordless-tool battery platforms
- Simple controls and practical construction
- Practical small-shop construction without the usual aviation markup
Like any simple powered tool, it works best when you keep it adjusted, keep the tire inflated, and take a little time to learn the feel of it.

Worked exactly as described and easy to store!

I love mine! I’m 62 yo and I’ve gone through a hernia operation, so this powered towbar is essential for moving my Mooney uphill into my hangar. It couldn’t be simpler to operate. I’ve also had an opportunity to need some follow-up help, and Bernie responded immediately and decisively. Have no fear about product support after the sale, though you won’t likely need it.

Excellent towbar and much easier to deal with than my old version of a nosedragger. I really like how smooth the throttle operation is, and once rolling, the airplane can be cruised behind you at a solid walking pace. Choice of batteries is a great touch. I’ve got a BUNCH of DeWalt 20V tools.

Great tow bar! Super is easy to use and the throttle allows you to adjust the speed to your needs—amazing value for its price. Support is great too! Recommend it.

Great tow bar at a fraction of the cost of other options. Twist-grip is super easy to use and choice of batteries is a really nice plus. Light enough to put in the baggage area for travel.

Have a Ryobi powered version for my Bravo.
Because of the nose geometry, I have to put the bottom part on first, then attach the controller after, but I suspect this is not an issue on anything other than the Bravo.
It’s got plenty of torque and surprisingly good range on the 1.5ah batteries, almost 200 yards. I’m gonna go with two 4ah’s once I get out of annual.
Great value vs the other guys.

I’ve had the RoboTow for several years and fought the door rails in two different hangers. It seemed the RoboTow simply did not have the power to push and pull my Mooney M20K 231. One day recently, I received a flyer from Mooney Movers. I was skeptical because of the problems I have had with my RoboTow. Anyway I purchased the Mooney Mover and it’s the best Powered Tow Bar I have ever seen or used. It has the power to push and pull my plane over the hanger door rails and once on the move, it get’s along quite well. Thanks Bernie! Excellent Product! Brad Fortney, Madison MS.

I bought my Mooney mover a few months ago for my J model. It works as designed and I am very happy with it! I have the new improved version that has the friction wheel.
The price is reasonable compared to the others on the market. Bernie is always available for customer support if you have questions. I use 2 dewalt batteries for my mover.
So my advice is to stop breaking your back and buy one!!!
