Tugger trains & electric tugs

Tugger trains are efficient transport systems for synchronised material supply and are therefore an important component of value-added and customer-oriented production logistics. The tugger train consists of a towing vehicle, for example an electric tractor, and one or more trailers. Tugger train logistics enables several load carriers to be transported simultaneously, which significantly optimises logistics processes and reduces the number of journeys compared to individual transports. The modularity and flexibility of tugger trains allow customised adaptation to specific operational requirements without compromising the clarity and safety of the material flow.

Tugger trains are primarily used in intralogistics in a wide range of industries, where they play a central role in optimising material transport. Typical areas of application include production and assembly halls, warehouses and distribution centres as well as airports, shipyards and railway stations. Modern tugger trains with SE tyres (superelastic tyres) can be used both indoors and outdoors.

In production environments, they facilitate the just-in-time (JiT) and just-in-sequence (JiS) delivery of components to the assembly lines. Tugger trains are used in milk run logistics in particular. This is a delivery method in which a truck picks up loads from different suppliers in order to combine them into one load and transport them. In distribution centres, tugger train logistics improves the efficiency of order picking and goods transport. At railway stations or airports, tugger trains ensure fast and efficient loading and unloading of luggage and freight, and in the automotive industry they supply the production line with various vendor parts.

With our electric tow tractors in combination with transport trailers, we primarily address medium-sized and larger companies that are looking for smart solutions to optimise their processes. We not only offer durable and robust towing vehicles, but also the flexibility of a partner who can implement customer-specific requirements to optimise your processes.

Our solutions are customised, as the design and number of tractors, trailers and trolleys must always be adapted to the specific requirements of each company. We provide you with reliable electric tow tractors together with matching U-frame trailers that precisely meet your needs.
