ML600 ML800 ML1000 electric powered tuggers

A:Electric tugs are a type of battery-powered material handling equipment that allows a single pedestrian operator to move heavy loads on wheels without any physical effort.

A:An electric tug is a battery-powered machine that uses a series of motors to deliver the powerful movement of heavy-wheeled loads.
As with anything involving movement, traction is crucial to getting loads moving. Our electric tugs can be divided into two main functional design categories based on how they generate traction:
● A weight transfer system: A secure coupling system transfers an element of the load weight through the machine drive wheel to gain traction and mobilise heavy loads.
● Using the machine weight: The tow tug utilises its' own weight to gain traction and enable the movement of heavy loads

A: Electric tugs offer a safer way to move heavy-wheeled loads that were previously carried out manually or by using traditional material handling equipment such as forklift trucks or tow tractors. Our electric tugs boast an impressive range of standard safety features to ensure that the operator is always in control. Features include an emergency stop button, an anti-crush system that activates immediately if the user’s body comes into contact with it and a sensor that automatically cuts off the power when the tiller arm returns to vertical – preventing accidental operation.

A: Yes, electric tugs can safely stop a load. Here's how:
● Physical Connection: The electric tug is physically connected to the load, so when the tug stops, the load stops.
● Braking Mechanisms: Each tug has several braking mechanisms to ensure safety.
● Automatic Braking: The load stops when the operator releases the controls.
● Emergency Stop Button: Can be manually pressed to stop the tug immediately.
● Tiller Arm Position: The emergency stop is automatically activated when the tiller arm is returned to its vertical position.
These features ensure that the electric tug is safe to use in various situations.

A:Electric tow tugs can be used to push and pull heavy loads on rails. Our electric tugs are used to deliver the safe, controlled movement of heavy loads such as rail bogies and sub-assemblies on rails.
