In settings where level changes can be handled separately, a ride-on tow tug can make light work of large shipments. Manoeuvring through gaps that you simply won’t be able to on larger machinery.
The pace is another key strength of ride on tow tugs. Once materials have been loaded on board, drivers are still able to travel at speeds of 5.8kph, making the truck useful in larger warehouses where time is always a factor. Once the materials have been unloaded, turnarounds can be made quickly as the speed increases to 6.2kph.
The small size means it’s easy to step aside when many vehicles are operating. In addition, drivers don’t have to worry about back strain or other physical injuries as a result of lifting loads that are too heavy.
