Self-Propelled Platform Truck-Tug



Air Technical Industries (ATI) has announced the development of a heavy-duty self-propelled platform truck-tug. "In addition to carrying heavy loads, it is powerful enough to pull along several trailers or loads simultaneously, saving time by doing it in one trip instead of multiple trips," said a company spokesperson. The propulsion is battery powered 24 volt DC and controls are built-in below the platform, which can open at one end for service access.

The travel speed is infinitely variable from zero up to 4 MPH and the unit is equipped with automatic braking.

The capacities available are 2,000, 4,000, 6,000 and 10,000 lbs. and the sizes from 32" to 72" wide and 48" to 120" in length. The platform height is from 14" to 24" high depending on capacity and size required. Optional lift platform can be built-in to lift the load to the desired height.

"The self-propulsion with added features of tug or pulling eliminates the need for the more expensive fork truck," said the spokesperson. "The great benefit of the new platform truck-tug is that it carries a load and pulls other trailers along." The feature of 60° steering to each side allows for sharp angle turns to operate in narrow isles or crowded areas.

Ergonomically designed to make the job easier and safer, the new platform truck-tug is engineered to eliminate the need for pushing and pulling manually.
