What do you call the vehicles used to transport baggage to and from aircraft?

Baggage tugs are specifically designed vehicles employed at airports for the transportation of baggage between the terminal and the aircraft, and vice versa. They are equipped to handle the loading and unloading of luggage, allowing for efficient movement on the ramp area. Baggage tugs often feature a flatbed design or a trailer attachment, making it easier to carry multiple pieces of luggage simultaneously.

Shuttle buses are primarily used for transporting passengers to and from terminals or between airport facilities, rather than for baggage transport. Service trucks have a broader utility and can be used for various ground services, including fueling and maintenance, but are not dedicated solely to baggage transport. Ground handlers refer to the individuals or companies that provide services to aircraft while on the ground; while they may operate baggage tugs, the term itself does not specifically identify the vehicles used for baggage transport.
