Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

What types of control options are available?   

Electric tuggers are available with multiple control options designed to maximize safety and efficiency.   

Pedestrian operated electric tuggers allow a single operator to safely maneuver even the heaviest loads with confidence, removing manual handling and reliance on forklift trucks.    

Remote control operation is available to deliver maximum visibility by allowing operators to take up the ideal vantage point when moving loads, facilitating the seamless movement of loads in congested areas.   

Automated AGV electric tugger removes the need for an operator, automating the movement of heavy loads to maximize efficiency and resource utilization.   

Is an operator license or training required?    

No, unlike lifting equipment such as forklift trucks and cranes, an electric tug does not require a license to operate. A license-free operation reduces downtime and maximises operational efficiency, reducing wasted time waiting for a licensed driver.     

Minimal training is required to safely operate an electric tug 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.
