Tow tugs are an incredible invention in our industry. Being able to carry vast amounts of weight with ease; they are a godsend for workers in the construction industry across the world. Tow tugs are an instrumental piece of equipment, but they also have other uses. As they allow workers to carry such heavy weights with relatively little effort, we thought to ourselves, ‘I wonder what else a tow tug can tug’.
Today, we are going to find out. In this article, we will explore the many uses of the tow tug and discover what else we can use the incredible pulling power of the tow tug for. Without further adieu, let’s get into it!
Why Choose a Tow Tug?
Tow tugs have many key advantages and critical reasons as to why it is the most popular choice for safely and securely manoeuvring heavy loads, including:
-
Easily Manoeuvrable
With an electric motor leading the way and doing all the heavy lifting, tow tugs allow users to pull or push hefty weights with complete ease. They can transport heavy objects through tight areas with absolute precision, without the user breaking a sweat!
-
Environmentally Friendly
With an electric motor doing all of the work, Tow Tugs are one of the most environmentally friendly methods of manoeuvring heavy objects that you can find. When compared to the alternative of using a car or vehicle with a combustion engine, the tow tug is the best choice for both ease of use and the environment.
The Uses for a Tow Tug

Heavy Trailers
Working in a small site with tight corners can be challenging to tow a trailer through with a vehicle. You don’t have the space or turning ability to safely and effectively position the trailer where you need it. In this situation, you need a strong and capable machine that can move your trailer with ease and precision to ensure safe transport.
An electric tow tug can manoeuvre loads of up to 4,000kg, meaning that your trailer can move with little effort. It also means you’ll be able to tackle those tight turns without having to make an 18-point turn in your car. That sounds like a better option, right?

Static Caravan
If you’re looking to move a static caravan and planning to use your vehicle to do the heavy lifting, you may want to think again. Tow Tugs have more than enough power in their electric motor to allow you to safely and securely manoeuvre your static caravan across most terrains and place it where you want it with ease and pinpoint precision.
With a vehicle, you lose much of the control that you have with a Tow Tug when moving your caravan, making it a dangerous and challenging task that is not worth the hassle. With a Tow Tug, you have a safe and easy experience that you wouldn’t get with any other method.
