Typical heavy plant equipment applications

For machinery manufacturers involved in manufacturing some of the heaviest equipment, material handling can be challenging. Whether it’s tracked excavators or combine harvesters, we help heavy machinery manufacturers move loads such as:

  • Sub-assemblies & work-in-progress
  • Booms & arms
  • Chassis, frames & cabs
  • Sheet metal & profiles
  • Power systems, engines & powertrains
  • Kitting trolleys
  • Jigs, tooling & fixtures
  • Axles, wheels & track units

Electric tug benefits in heavy plant assembly

Reduce downtime - icon

Reduce takt time

Streamlining the movement of heavy loads, electric tugs create leaner processes and reduce downtime.

Weight capacity - icon

Heavy-weight power

Handle the heaviest loads with weight capacities up to 70,000kg and beyond

Improving operational efficiency - icon

Increase throughput

Cut wasted time out of your material movement to drive efficiency

Improve flexibility - icon

Create flexible processes

Move loads just-in-time to unlock agile and flexible processes

Our range of construction, mining & agricultural tugs

Solutions for today and tomorrow

Moving heavy equipment can slow production. Manufacturers of agricultural, construction, and mining machinery often rely on forklifts, cranes, and winches - leading to bottlenecks and downtime.

To keep production moving and reduce forklift dependency, they’re turning to more flexible solutions like electric tugs. A range of control options are available to meet every load moving challenge.

  • Pedestrian operated - a single operator can safely manoeuvre even the heaviest loads with ease.
  • Remote control operation - delivers maximum visibility by allowing operators to take up the ideal vantage point when moving large loads.
  • Automated AGV electric tugs – unlock fully automated material movements to maximise efficiency, throughput, and labour utilisation.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

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 tugs powered?

Electric tugs are battery powered, with interchangeable batteries or lithium options available, electric tugs can deliver 24/7 operation to keep your processes moving.

Offering zero emissions from the point of use, electric tugs are ideally suited for indoor use, replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) powered equipment such as forklifts or tow tractors.
