What is an electric tugs used for?
In warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and other logistics environments, the electric tug, also known as a "tugger," is an essential tool for various tasks, including material transport, order picking, and line replenishment. These electric tow tractors are primarily deployed for moving materials and goods within a facility, such as towing or pushing carts and other loads to different locations in the warehouse or production floor.
Overall, electric tugs provide a flexible and cost-effective solution for efficiently moving goods and optimizing logistics processes in various facilities.
Reasons to choose an electric tug
There are several reasons to choose an electric tug in a logistics environment. Overall, electric tuggers offer a range of benefits that make them an attractive choice for use in various logistics settings.
Efficiency and
productivity
Electric tugs improve material transport in facilities by achieving higher speeds than manual pulling or pushing methods.
Improved
ergonomics
Electric tugs reduce physical strain on workers by moving heavy loads for them, improving ergonomics.
Increased
safety
Electric tugs are safer than forklifts because of their lower speed, better visibility and less power, which means they can cause less damage.
Manoeuvrable in
tight spaces
Electric tugs are maneuverable in tight spaces due to their compact design and small turning radius, making them easy to handle.
Solid Heavy Duty carts for an electric tugs
Our extensive range of Heavy Duty carts is ideal for use with electric tugs. These carts, including shelf carts, platform carts, and pallet carts, are designed with a sturdy base of steel tubes and mounting plates.
This makes them particularly suitable for use in combination with an electric tug, where stability and reliability are essential.
Solid coupling between electric tug and cart
At Multitube, we offer tailor-made couplings between electric tugs and our carts. Our engineers meticulously design each coupling arm, ensuring it is perfectly matched to your type of electric tow tug. Through this careful alignment, we guarantee a solid connection, resulting in safe and reliable transportation of goods.
With our carts, you also have the option to transport multiple carts behind your electric tug, creating a logistic train. This enables even more efficient transportation, saving you time and effort when moving materials within your facility.
Route treinen als oplossing voor material handling
An electric tug, also known as an electric tugger, is an electrically powered vehicle used for moving heavy loads such as pallets, carts, containers or other loads in warehouses, production halls and other logistics environments. These tuggers are designed to efficiently and safely transport goods over short distances, often within a facility or between different workstations.
Battery-powered electric tugs typically offer a combination of power, manoeuvrability and ease of use. They play an essential role in optimising logistics processes and improving productivity in various industrial environments.
The pulling and pushing power is affected by several factors, including the surface, tyres, slopes, wheels of the cart and speed. The own weight of the electric tug is especially important; the heavier the machine, the more traction and therefore more pushing or pulling power. We are ready to advise on these aspects.
At Multitube, we tailor the coupling of our carts to the specifications of your electric tugs so that they work together seamlessly. We strive to create a safe and solid connection between our carts and your electric tugs.
Electric tugs offer several advantages over manual moving. For instance, electric tugs reduce the physical load for workers who need to move loads, wart can help prevent injuries and improve overall working conditions.
In addition, electric tugs provide more efficient transport of goods within warehouses, distribution centres and other industrial environments. They do this a quiet way, which is beneficial for industrial working environments.

Quantore optimises warehouse with tugger carts
Quantore wanted to optimize the order picking process and improve ergonomics. They decided to use tugger carts in combination with an electric tug, allowing them to transport 3 carts in a row, with a total of 12 picking positions.
This enabled them to gather more orders in a single round. The use of a tugger made it possible to move the logistic train ergonomically, reducing the strain on employees.
