Production innovation – talking about the new All Terrain Tows

And they pack a punch in terms of the safe and efficient movement. While the existing range was up to 3,000 kg, we’ve now added four new models for 2019, which includes a weight range of up to 12,000 kg. Offering a blend of strength and agility, the machines are designed to go with the flow, with the ability to swing in either direction for tight corners or turning circles. For challenging applications, remote operation can be applied allowing for the operator to stand further from the load, improving both safety and visibility of product movements. Enhanced efficiency and productivity are also delivered. A machine crawl coupling switch located at the front of the machine moves the machines slowly to allow the operator to couple quickly and conveniently, while the fifth wheel option allows for increase maneuverability when using the box coupling. Robust build quality is also assured with an FEA tested steel chassis, impact resistant headset and zinc coated steel couplings. There’s no time for downtime either, with interchangeable battery packs enabling users to charge one as they use the other for constant use. Safety features are built-in to ensure complete confidence. That includes wheel guards, an anti-crush button and an automatic parking brake that releases when the throttle lever is moved. A constant electric current holds the parking brake off while the machine is moving, and when it comes to a complete stop, the brake applies automatically. Options include the ability to convert the tugs for AGV applications, or to ATEX standards for use in explosive environments.

The four new models available on the market are: AT600 TOW, AT800 TOW, AT1000 TOW and AT1200 TOW with load capacity respectively 6,000/ 8,000/ 10,000/ 12,000 kg.
