Your Questions, Answered – FAQs
All of our stainless steel electric tugs are constructed with 316 high-grade stainless steel.
This makes them ideally suited to food production environments and biopharmaceutical cleanrooms.
No, all of our electric tugs are completely license-free, maximising productivity and efficiency.
With the Two Speed Selector switch, ‘Tortoise’ mode enables you to maximise control and operate the machine at a slower speed setting of 1.2kph. In the faster ‘Hare’ setting, the machine’s speed is 3kph.
Machines can be set with custom speed settings where required, with a maximum programmable speed of 6kph.
Battery performance varies from model to model and is influenced by load weight, battery capacity, environmental conditions and usage.
Individual battery performance data can be found on the Technical Specification Sheets for each model.
A range of coupling options are available across the range that maximise performance, security and safety.
Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications.
The Stainless Steel range encompasses a number of different machines, with varying ingress protection (IP) ratings.
Individual IP ratings can be found on the Technical Specification Sheets for each model, though as a guide, IP ratings range from IP42 - IP55, with higher ratings available as a custom solution.
Yes, stainless steel is more expensive than mild steel alternatives due to the addition of a range of other alloying elements. Different grades of stainless steel are available which also influence the price and preparation involved.
Our electric tugs are used in highly controlled environments such as food manufacturing and biopharmaceuticals, so we use high-grade 316 stainless steel.
