Tow Tractors

Tow tractors for your Intralogistics

With our electric tow tractors, you will be well equipped to tackle any logistical challenge. Loads weighing up to 28 tons are transported from goods receipt to distribution and production with the utmost efficiency and flexibility. Unlike vehicles with combustion engines, electric tow tractors are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The robust construction, spring-loaded wheels and super-elastic drive wheel ensure optimum drive both on smooth industrial floors and in outside areas. These features make our electric tow trucks ideal for intralogistics applications in warehouses and production facilities.

Emission-free electric tow tractors with innovative 3-phase AC technology

Our emission-free tow trucks offer all the benefits of 3-phase AC technology. Compared to DC motors, 3-phase AC motors feature a smaller number of components and wear parts. This means that the motor is virtually maintenance-free and produces significantly lower running costs thanks to improved energy efficiency. It also has a positive impact on handling and performance. Rapid changes in direction are possible without the usual “delay in response”. In addition, travel comfort and safety can be greatly enhanced with automatic control mechanisms such as curveCONTROL.

Tow tractors with high directional stability

Individual coupling solutions allow you to use our tow tractors with a range of different trailer types, which can be connected to form a tow train. You can employ both standard couplings and modified couplings. The tow trains travel from station to station according to a predefined route, where freight items are loaded and unloaded at each stop. This allows you to transport a large number of loads with just a few trucks, which significantly reduces your travel times.

Tow trains with high directional stability offer the advantage of ensuring that the trailers follow exactly the same path set by the electric tow tractors. This allows for safe travel both inside and outside the rack aisle and allows you to easily avoid any obstacles. When equipped with a directionally stable tiller, any one of our tow tractors can be converted into a stable tow train in combination with a suitable trailer type.

Electric tow tractors equipped for fully automated operations

Intelligent automation components transform our electric tractors into Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Combined with intelligent software, they can make your entire warehouse more efficient and cost-effective. As an expert automation partner, we will plan and implement an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) system tailored to your needs, enabling you to automatically increase the cost-effectiveness of your warehouse.

With our modern electric tow tractors, powerful, environmentally friendly towing trucks meet versatile trailer solutions – together they create unbeatable tow trains!

The tow train ensures safe and efficient material flow. All trailers follow the track of the electric tow tractor as precisely as if they were travelling on rails. This not only saves time and money, but also reduces the risk of accidents.
