Australian-made ergonomic electric tug

The Tug Axis pedestrian operated electric tug is another powerful workhorse in the Electrodrive powered tug range. Available in 4 and 5 tonne models, the Tug Axis is designed to improve safety and efficiency, while reducing the risk of accidents that can occur when manually moving very heavy loads.

Ergonomically designed, the powered Tug Axis positions the user in front-of-the-load. The tiller control provides a natural walking posture, reducing the risk of strain or injury. With maximum forward vision the risk of collisions with pedestrians or objects is minimised. Read more about Electrodrive's ergonomically designed tugs.

Battery operated and rechargeable, the Tug Axis features an ergonomic foldable tiller handle for ease of use, three speed controls with forward and reverse, and emergency stop and 'back-off' buttons for maximum safety.

A wide range of hitches available for easy hitching to trolleys and loads.


Typical applications

Suitable for large retail and heavy industrial towing, such as heavy wheeled equipment, bogie wheels, light aircraft or planes, heavy machinery, heavy specialist equipment, trailers, caravans and trolleys.

It can be used in airports, factories, warehouses, apartment buildings or large facilities.
