Tugboats

Electric tug with superior AC technology

Narrow or rough, indoors or outdoors: With our electric tugs, you are prepared for every logistical challenge. The tugs handle transports of up to 28 tons efficiently and flexibly, our equipment is not only free of gas emissions, but also virtually maintenance free, silent, compact and powerful.

Tugboat set in precise route to the warehouse

Individual coupling solutions allow the use of our tugs with different types of trailer units. The Tug and Trailer Set move from one station to the other based on a defined route.
The advantage of the route-defined tug assembly is obvious: The trailers follow exactly the path that the electric tug took. This allows them to move safely in and out of the hallway and easily avoid any obstacles. Equipped with a tiller, each of our tugs - with the appropriate towing units - transforms into a set of tugs with a defined route.

Motors with alternating current technology

Three-phase motors are characterized by a reduced number of components and wear parts compared to direct current motors. This means that the motor is virtually maintenance-free and, due to increased energy efficiency, significantly reduces operating costs. Furthermore, driving comfort and safety can be significantly increased by automatic control mechanisms such as curveCONTROL and speedCONTROL.

The advantages at a glance

Our motors with three-phase current technology offer increased performance while reducing operating costs. The advantages:
• High efficiency with excellent energy savings.
• Strong acceleration.
• Maintenance-free traction motor without carbon brushes.
• 2 year engine warranty.

• Easy access to all components through the front cover.
• Reliable protection against eg dust and moisture through controller and connector housing according to IP 54.

• The speed programmed on the direction switch is maintained in any situation – even uphill and downhill.
• 3 individually adjustable driving programs according to needs.
• Regenerative braking with energy recovery when reducing ground speed.
• Safe cornering – the driver maintains full control of the vehicle.

Numerous display and adjustment instruments allow complete monitoring at any time:
• CanDis (optional) informs about battery charge level, hours of operation as well as error codes.
• Vehicle activation via PIN code and selection of three steering programs on keypad (optional).
• Adjustable steering parameters via CanDis and CanCode (optional).

• The speed control system relieves the driver on long distance journeys (optional).
• Simple steering wheel adjustment for different drivers with different heights.
• The hitch can be seen from the driver's position and is easily accessible.
• Fast and simple coupling and uncoupling of trailers, thanks to the coupling's semi-automatic remote uncoupling system, controlled from the driver's platform (optional).
• Electric steering with jetPILOT steering wheel.

• High availability due to extremely short load times.
• No need to change batteries.
• Cost savings due to longer service life and maintenance freedom compared to lead-acid batteries.
• No need for special ventilated charging rooms, as no gas is formed.
• Increased durability with a 5-year Jungheinrich warranty.
