When is an electric tugger is the right solution?

For automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and commercial vehicle manufacturers, creating lean and efficient processes is crucial. Our electric tuggers and AGVs are a great fit when:

  • Your existing intralogistics and material movement processes are slow and inefficient
  • Bottlenecks occur from waiting for lift truck operators
  • Tow tractor routes are highly repetitive
  • You’re looking to eliminate manual handling

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

What types of control options are available?

Electric tuggers are available with multiple control options designed to suit the needs of modern automotive manufacturing:

  • Pedestrian operated electric tuggers allow a single operator to safely maneuver even the heaviest loads with confidence, removing manual handling and reliance on forklift trucks.
  • Remote control operation is available to deliver maximum visibility by allowing operators to take up the ideal vantage point when moving loads, facilitating the seamless movement of loads in congested areas.
  • Automated AGV electric tuggers remove the need for an operator, automating the movement of heavy loads to maximize efficiency and resource utilization. 
Is an operator license or training required? 

No, unlike lifting equipment such as forklift trucks and cranes, an electric tugger does not require a license to operate. A license-free operation reduces downtime and maximizes operational efficiency, reducing wasted time waiting for a licensed driver.  

Minimal training is required to safely operate an electric tugger and we offer training packages to suit every requirement.

How are electric tuggers powered?

Electric tuggers are battery-powered, with interchangeable batteries or lithium options available, electric tugs can deliver 24/7 operation to keep your processes moving.

Offering zero emissions from the point of use, electric tuggers are ideally suited for indoor use, replacing internal combustion engine powered equipment such as forklifts or tow tractors. 

How do electric tuggers and electric tows connect?  

A range of coupling options are available across the range that maximises performance, security and safety. Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications.
