Small enough for corridors and lifts. Strong enough for 1,000 kg.
Roll cages and trolleys get pushed by hand all day in shops, hospitals and food plants. Each push looks small, but the starting, stopping and steering add up, and that repeated strain is how back and shoulder injuries build.
The TT50 takes that strain away. The operator steers and the tug does the pushing, so a loaded roll cage moves with no more effort than walking. In a supermarket that’s cages from the delivery door to the shop floor. In a hospital it’s medical stock from goods-in to the departments: see how one NHS Trust hospital moves up to three roll cages a trip. At an airport it’s catering and baggage carts, and in pharmaceutical production it’s clean-room carts.
It runs on batteries, so there are no fumes and very little noise, which matters in patient areas, clean rooms and food production. It’s the lightest machine we make, but it’s built to the same standard as the heavier TP units, and like every Tractive Power tug it’s fitted with the coupling that suits your load.

Same compact frame, two strengths.
Every TT50 is matched to the load it’ll move.
Three standard couplings fit the TT50: an adjustable pushpad, a fifth wheel channel and a quick latch. Between them they cover most roll cages and trolleys. If yours is different, our design team will make a coupling to fit it, so you get the right connection without buying a different tug.
Is the TT50 the right electric tug for your load?
An electric tug, often called a roll cage mover or cage tug, takes the push out of moving loaded roll cages and trolleys. Loaded cages are heavy, top-heavy and hard to start and stop, and the HSE publishes specific guidance on handling them. The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 ask employers to avoid hazardous manual handling wherever they reasonably can, and a small electric tug is one of the simplest ways to do that.
One cage at a time
The TT50 is rated for up to 1,000 kg on castors and 3,000 kg on rails, with 500 N of drawbar pull, which suits single roll cages, hospital trolleys and linen carts. At 395 mm wide with a 1.4 m turning circle, it fits lifts, corridors and back-of-store areas, and the frame weighs 125 kg. For linked trains of cages, the TT100 has twice the pull.
Hospitals, retail and food production
Hospitals use the TT50 to move cages of stock between stores and wards (see healthcare and NHS). It is also used back-of-store in retail and on the production floor in dairy and food, where non-marking tyres, stainless steel and an easy-clean finish are available.
What comes as standard
26 A/h sealed lead-acid batteries and an 8A on-board auto-voltage charger (8 hours to recharge), anti-trap emergency reverse, an e-stop battery isolator, an electro-magnetic fail-to-safe brake, wheel guards, an IP44 rating and a full 2-year warranty. Options include a lithium-ion battery upgrade, non-marking tyres for clean floors, 304 or 316 stainless steel, ATEX Zone 1 or Zone 2 compliance, remote control operation, a strobe light and an audible reversing alarm.
TT50 or TT100?
Both share the same frame and turning circle. Choose the TT50 for single cages and trolleys up to 1,000 kg, and the TT100 for trains of cages up to 2,000 kg.
Buy outright, hire, or spread the cost.
Every machine is available three ways. Tell us what you’re moving and how long you need it for, and we’ll include the options in your quotation.
Will the TT50 move your load?
Tell us what you’re moving, how heavy it gets and what it runs on. We’ll tell you whether the TT50 will handle it, which coupling to fit, or whether the TT100 is the better choice.
