Electric tug questions, answered

They share the same compact frame: 125 kg, a 1.4 m turning circle and the same footprint. The TT100 has twice the towing capacity, 2,000 kg on castors against the TT50’s 1,000 kg, and twice the drawbar pull. Choose the TT50 for single roll cages and light trolleys, and the TT100 for longer trains and heavier carts.

Yes. The TT50 moves wheeled loads up to 1,000 kg on castors, which covers roll cages in supermarket back-of-store areas, DCs and hospitals, with one person walking behind it.

Yes. Healthcare and NHS is one of the TT50’s main applications: moving hospital beds, equipment and roll cages along corridors and in and out of lifts. Its 1.4 m turning circle and 395 mm width keep it manoeuvrable in tight spaces.

Yes. It moves railed loads up to 3,000 kg, for light railed trolleys and short production-line moves.

Yes. It’s battery-powered, so there are no emissions and it runs quietly. That’s why it’s used in hospitals, pharmaceutical clean rooms and food production as well as warehouses and back-of-store.

A full recharge takes 8 hours, so it can go on charge at the end of the day and be ready for the next shift.

Three standard couplings fit the TT range: an adjustable pushpad, a fifth wheel channel and a quick latch. If none suits your load, we design a bespoke coupling in-house.

Yes. Pushing and pulling count as manual handling under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, so if staff move roll cages by hand, the risk has to be assessed and reduced as far as reasonably practicable. Putting a TT50 on the cage takes most of the push force out of the job.

HSE guidance favours pushing, because you can stay upright and use your body weight. The TT50 works the same way: it pushes the load while the operator walks behind and steers, so nobody is dragging a cage backwards through a doorway.

When your heaviest wheeled load is over 1,000 kg, or over 3,000 kg on rails. The TT100 doubles both figures in the same frame, and the TP250 takes 4,000 kg on castors and 20,000 kg on rails.

A small battery-powered machine that pushes or tows wheeled loads such as roll cages and trolleys, so staff don’t have to. The TT100 is pedestrian operated: the person walks behind and steers.

Up to 2,000 kg on castors in total, or 6,000 kg on rails, with 1,000 N of drawbar pull. How many cages that is depends on what is in them.

It is 395 mm wide and 1,430 mm long, with a 1.4 m turning circle, so it goes most places a roll cage goes.

Non-marking, clean-floor tyres are available as an option.

If you move one cage or trolley at a time, the TT50. If you link them into trains or move heavier carts, the TT100: it has twice the capacity and twice the pull in the same frame.

It charges overnight from the onboard charger in about 8 hours. A lithium-ion battery is available as an upgrade.

An adjustable pushpad, a fifth wheel channel for A-frames and stillages, and a quick latch you can standardise across your trolleys. If none of those suits your load, we design a coupling in-house.

Anti-trap emergency reverse, an e-stop battery isolator, an electro-magnetic fail-to-safe brake and wheel guards.

Standard delivery is 5 to 6 weeks from order confirmation, and every TT100 comes with a full 2-year warranty.

Yes. Options include a 304 or 316 stainless steel finish, an easy-clean specification with minimal external fasteners, non-marking tyres, and ATEX Zone 1 or Zone 2 compliance.

Both have the same towing capacity (4,000 kg on castors, 20,000 kg on rails), the same motor, and the same battery. The difference is footprint: the TP250 has a 1.65 m turning circle, the Compact has 0.9 m. Choose Compact for restricted access, confined production cells, clean rooms, and tight workshop layouts. Choose standard for open floors and distribution centres.

Yes. The TP250 Compact has exactly the same capacity as the standard TP250: 4,000 kg on castors and 20,000 kg on rails. Only the footprint is smaller, with a 0.9 m turning circle against 1.65 m.

The TP500 handles twice the load on castors (8,000 kg vs 4,000 kg) and twice the load on rails (40,000 kg vs 20,000 kg), with a 5,000 N drawbar vs the TP250’s 2,500 N. Same drive system family, same battery family. Choose TP250 for mid-weight loads and moderate rail traffic; step up to TP500 for heavier assemblies or continuous rail work.

Yes. On rails the TP250 moves loads up to 20,000 kg with a single pedestrian operator. The adjustable pushpad coupling is made for pushing railed trolleys in a straight line, which suits production line indexing.

Yes. A prestige car maker runs nine TP250 Compacts on its final-build line, each moving cars between stations with one operator. Tell us about your vehicles and we’ll confirm the right coupling.

Roll cages are the most common job, but the TP250 also moves food processing trolleys in dairy and food plants, kiln trolleys in ceramics, paper rolls and cable drums, airport baggage and catering carts, production line trolleys in joinery and engineering, and plant and materials on construction sites. If the load sits on castors or rails, it is worth asking.

Yes. A global car maker put its moulding dies on trolleys and a TP250 Compact. A changeover that took more than two hours now takes 15 minutes, with one operator.

For loads that are already on wheels or rails, usually yes. A pedestrian electric tug moves the load where it sits, without lifting it, and works in aisles and production areas too tight for a counterbalance truck. Operator training is available from Tractive Power.

Yes. The TP250 is specified across pharmaceutical clean rooms and food processing environments with the optional 304 or 316 stainless steel satin finish, non-marking clean-floor tyres, and easy-clean specification (minimal external fasteners). ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 compliance are also available as options.

Yes — this is what Tractive Power does. Five standard couplings cover most applications (adjustable pushpad, roll cage, 5th wheel channel, quick latch, paper roll). Where a load doesn’t fit one of them, our in-house design team builds the interface to suit. No third parties, no waiting on external suppliers.

About 8 hours with the on-board 10A high-frequency charger, which runs from a 100–240 V supply. A lithium-ion battery upgrade is available as an option.

Yes. It is rated for up to 8,000 kg on castors and wheels, and up to 40,000 kg on rails, because loads on rails take much less effort to roll.

A machine that lets one person move loads far too heavy to push by hand. The TP1000 does it on rails up to 100,000 kg and on castors up to 12,000 kg.

Yes. The paper roll coupling moves cable drums, reels and spools on their circumference, so they can be rolled safely by one operator.

The TP1000 takes 12,000 kg on castors against the TP500's 8,000 kg, raises the railed capacity from 40,000 kg to 100,000 kg, adds power steering and has more pull (8,000 N against 5,000 N).
