Efficient Trailer Movement with Electric Tow Tugs
Trailer movement in depots and logistics centres is a daily challenge. Particularly when dealing with limited space, tight schedules, and worker safety.
The traditional approach often involves manual handling or using forklifts. Both of which can lead to inefficiencies and increased risks. Electric trailer movers and tow tugs offer a modern solution. Giving a safer and more efficient way to move trailers without trained personnel.
Electric Trailer Movers: The Smart Solution
Electric trailer movers and tow tugs effortlessly manoeuvre trailers of all sizes. Allowing for smooth movement even in the busiest depots.
These machines are powered by rechargeable batteries and are controlled via simple interfaces. Allowing you to move trailers easily without needing forklifts or other heavy machinery.
How They Work
An electric trailer mover is attached to the trailer’s coupling. This allows the operator to control the speed and direction, ensuring precise positioning. These movers handle a range of trailer weights and sizes, from small utility trailers to larger, industrial ones.
Types of Trailer Movers
Industar offers a variety of movers tailored to different trailer weights and applications:
Benefits for Depot Operations
Using a tow tug in your depot provides benefits that go beyond trailer movement:
Increased Efficiency in Tight Spaces
Depots often have limited space, making it difficult for large vehicles to manoeuvre. Electric movers excel in tight environments. Allowing for accurate trailer positioning without causing issues in the workflow.
Reduced Bottlenecks and Delays
Other methods often require waiting for trained staff, leading to delays. With tow tugs, any team member can handle the task. Speeding up your daily operations and reducing downtime.
Improved Worker Safety
By removing the need for manual handling and forklifts, tow tugs can reduce the risk of accidents. Their intuitive operation and design help minimise strain and fatigue for workers.
Cost-Effective Solutions
Training staff to operate forklifts or specialised equipment is expensive and time-consuming. Electric movers eliminate the need for this, reducing operational costs while boosting productivity.
Choosing the Right Trailer Mover
Selecting the right trailer mover for your operation can maximise productivity and safety. When deciding, consider the following factors:
- Trailer Weight: Ensure the mover can handle the heaviest trailers in your fleet. For heavier loads, opt for a heavy-duty trailer mover.
- Frequency of Use: If your trailers are moved frequently throughout the day, select a durable, high-capacity model.
- Depot Layout: For depots with narrow aisles or compact spaces, use a tow tug with excellent manoeuvrability.
