Tuggers/Tow Tractors

What Can You Do With a Tugger or Tow Tractor?

A tugger or towing tractor can serve multiple purposes in various material handling applications, such as logistics, manufacturing and retail. The many uses of tuggers include:

• Transporting parts to the production line in manufacturing operations
• Mobilizing heavy sub-assemblies
• Precisely positioning loads in tight spaces

Towing tractors are a reliable option for pulling wheeled loads, such as trailers or dollies. They can also tow multiple loads linked together to form a train, which maximizes hauling efficiency.

The Benefits of an Electric Tow Tractor or Tugger

Tow tractors and tuggers offer numerous benefits for material handling operations:

• Increased productivity: These machines can move multiple loads simultaneously, which can significantly reduce the number of trips needed to move loads and allow crews to complete more work in less time.
• Lower labor costs: Tuggers and tow tractors reduce the dependency on manual labor to move expansive loads. You will need fewer workers to complete material handling tasks.
• Enhanced safety: Since workers are less involved with the physical material handling aspects, there is a lower risk of workplace accidents that could lead to serious injuries.
• Energy savings: This battery-powered material handling equipment does not require expensive fuel to operate, which can help lower your company’s energy costs. It also complies with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
• Damage prevention: A towing tractor or tugger moves goods carefully, protecting the load from damage during transit.
• Cost-effectiveness: While purchasing these machines requires an upfront expenditure, they deliver a substantial return on investment by increasing speed, boosting productivity and lowering operating costs.
