Why Choose a Tow Tug?

Tow Tugs are Manoeuvrable 

Tow tugs make light work of pushing or pulling heavy loads. They are manoeuvrable and precise, allowing you to transport objects through tight spaces and around corners with precision. 

Tow Tugs are Environmentally Friendly

Electric tow tugs are also a great environmentally friendly handling solution. They use an electric motor, meaning they don’t emit pollutants like combustion engine vehicles. This also makes them suitable for indoor use. They’re a fantastic emission-free alternative to forklifts.

What Can A Tow Tug Move

The biggest selling point of tow tugs, however, is how much they can move. Great manoeuvrability is only an amazing benefit if you can use them to move what you need moving. And the environmental impact of most handling equipment is minimal if its not being put to use. Thankfully, you will be putting your tow tug to use as they offer incredible pulling power. They make light work of moving danish trollies around greenhouse, but this is just the beginning of what tow tugs are capable of.

A Heavy Trailers

With a 4,000kg load capacity, a tow tug could be the ideal solution for moving heavy trailers. Towing a trailer on site can be a challenging, especially when working around tight corners. However, you can swap out difficult 18-point turns in a car for the ease and precision of a tow tug. 

A Static Caravan

Thanks to their powerful motors, tow tugs are also an excellent choice for static caravans. Working across different terrains, navigating corners, and placing your caravan with pinpoint precision are all far easier with a tow tug.

Waste Bins

Though not the heaviest item on this list, industrial waste bins can be one of the more challenging to move. But a tow tug can take the hassle out of moving bins. They can handle gradients and ramps from basements and are ideal for transporting bins through service corridors. And you can even connect multiple bins in a train (or tow a single bin, if that's all that's required). 

A Helicopter

Tow tugs are a fantastic option of the aviation industry. Not only are they ideal for moving baggage trolleys and luggage carts around airports (both indoors and outside), but they can be used for transport the vehicles themselves. With the right specialist tow bar you can use a tow tug to move light aircraft and helicopters between the runway and hangar. Safety is of huge importance when transporting aircrafts, especially on a ptnetially busy runway, so the added visibility and maneuverability of tow tugs is hugely beneficial. 

8 Polar Bears

It's unlikely to come up, but you could use a tow tug to tow a polar bear. In fact, with a model supporting a 4,000kg you could hold the weight of around 8 polar bears. Or you could carry twice as many pigs. Or 9 grand pianos. Theres almost no end to the possibilities.

Tow tugs are a powerful and versatile piece of equipment. With the right attachments, there is very little they cannot handle. Plus, they can handle a range of terrain, making them perfect for indoors and outdoors and seamlessly moving between the two. They are compact, making them easy to store, and so much more. But most importantly, they can (in theory) tow 8 polar bears.
