Electric tow tractors are driven by motors and are used for the transportation of large quantities of goods inside and outside the workshop, the handling of assembly line materials, and the material handling between large factories. The materials are often stored in trailers and tow tractors are required to solve the efficient transportation of materials in different intervals. The rated traction load ranges from 1000kg-6000kg.
According to the purpose of the tow tractor, it can be classified into many types such as seated electric tow tractors, stand-on electric tow tractors, mini tractor, electric dual-drive tractor, walk-behind electric tow tractors, electric material tractor and so on.
Features of Electric Tow Tractors:
Electric tow tractors have the advantages of high energy conversion efficiency, low noise, no exhaust emissions, and convenient control. To meet the needs of various logistics transportation and distribution systems, it can significantly improve production efficiency. With the development of the logistics industry and the improvement of environmental protection requirements, the market demand for electric tow tractors is increasing. Wherever countries attach great importance to environmental protection, electric vehicles are very useful. In our country, as environmental governance increases, Electric tow tractors will gradually replace internal combustion tractors in the future.
The development trend of Electric Tow Tractors technology in the following aspects:
- The walking motor and its controller are developed from DC technology to AC technology;
- The development of vehicle communication in the direction of networking has improved the reliability and communication speed of data communication, reduced the cost of the control system, and greatly improved the control level of electric tow tractors.
- Hydraulic power steering replaces mechanical steering technology, which is light and comfortable to operate and has good maneuverability;
- The braking system is developing in the direction of hydraulic power braking, with light braking and fast response;
- Wet multi-disk brakes instead of dry brakes extend the life of the brakes, increase the braking torque, shorten the braking distance, and improve the braking safety of the entire vehicle.
