From one cage to a whole train.
Whether it's a train of roll cages walked from the dock to the pick face, a run of linen trolleys on a hospital corridor or parts carts on a production line, getting heavy wheeled loads moving by hand is slow, and the effort of starting them is where back injuries begin.
The TT100 is a pedestrian-operated electric tug built for that work. 1,000 N of drawbar pull and a 1,000 W motor get a loaded train rolling with one operator walking behind, and at 395 mm wide it still fits aisles, lifts and goods-in bays. Non-marking tyres and a lithium-ion battery are available as options.
It isn't only for roll cages. Food plants use it for ingredient carts and kitting trolleys, hospitals for linen and meal trolleys, and factories for parts carts on the line. Like every Tractive Power tug it runs on batteries, so it's quiet and fume-free indoors, and it's fitted with the coupling that suits your trolleys.

One cage or a whole train?
Couplings for cages, trains and railed trolleys.
For a train, one consistent connection point matters most, so the quick latch is the usual choice. The fifth wheel channel suits stillages and A-frames, and the pushpad handles railed trolleys. If your cages need something else, our design team builds it.
Is the TT100 the right electric tug for your load?
An electric tug, sometimes called a warehouse tug or tow tug, takes the starting effort out of moving wheeled loads. Getting a linked train of roll cages or trolleys moving is the hardest part of the push, and it is where strains happen. With a TT100, one person walks the whole train from the dock to the pick face while the tug does the work, which helps you meet the duty in the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 to avoid hazardous manual handling where reasonably practicable.
How much will it move?
The TT100 is rated for up to 2,000 kg on castors and 6,000 kg on rails, with 1,000 N of drawbar pull. The figure that counts is the total weight of the train when it is fully loaded, so add up the cages rather than counting them. If you are not sure, the load check below gets one of our engineers to look at it.
Small enough for the places cages go
At 395 mm wide with a 1.4 m turning circle, it fits aisles, lifts and goods-in bays. The frame weighs 125 kg and it travels at up to 6 km/h, about walking pace.
Standard and optional kit
26 A/h sealed lead-acid batteries and an 8A on-board auto-voltage charger come as standard, with 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.
TT100 or TT50?
The TT50 shares the same frame and turning circle with half the pull, and suits single roll cages and hospital trolleys up to 1,000 kg. For heavier production trolleys, the TP250 takes up to 4,000 kg. TT100s work in dairy and food and engineering and manufacturing.

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 TT100 move your load?
Tell us what's in the train, how heavy it gets and the route it takes. We'll tell you whether the TT100 suits it, or whether the TT50 or TP250 is a better fit.
