Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

What’s the benefit of electric tuggers over traditional material handling equipment? 

Businesses looking to eliminate manual handling in the movement of heavy loads and equipment often look to utilize existing lifting equipment.

While lifting equipment is ideal for the loading and unloading of parts and materials, using equipment such as side loaders and forklift trucks to lift wheeled carts presents safety risks.

Replacing one risk with another in congested production environments and using large lifting equipment in internal factories increases the risk of collisions with equipment and pedestrian traffic.  

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 tuggers 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 is available across the range that maximizes performance, security and safety.

Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications.
