What capacity do I need?

Tugger capacity refers to drawbar pull, NOT load weight. A 6,600-lb tugger pulls ~6,600 lb up a 10% grade, much more on flat floors. Sum your trailer weights and multiply by 0.08 (friction factor) for drawbar requirement.

Stand-on vs walk-behind?

Stand-on: faster (up to 7 mph), less fatigue over long distances, better for 8+ hour shifts. Walk-behind: smaller footprint, lower cost, best for intermittent use.

What about airport ground support?

Our stand-on tuggers meet IATA AHM 915 requirements for airside baggage tugs. Explosion-proof and intrinsically safe models available for jet-fuel-proximity operations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the top questions about tuggers

Tuggers pull loads on wheels — carts, trailers, wheeled bins. They move far more weight per operator since loads are wheel-supported. Forklifts carry loads; tuggers tow them.
