Electric tow tractors with superior 3-phase AC technology

Our electric tow tractors and tow trains enable efficient transport of loads weighing up to 28 tons in indoor and outdoor areas. The innovative 3-phase AC technology not only produces zero emissions and minimal noise, but also makes these trucks maintenance-free, powerful and very compact.

Whatever the job, whatever the location: With our electric tow tractors, you will be well equipped to tackle any logistical challenge. Loads weighing up to 28 tons are transported from goods receipt to distribution and production with utmost efficiency and flexibility. Unlike trucks with combustion engines, the tow tractors are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The robust construction, spring-loaded wheels and super-elastic drive wheel ensure optimum traction both on smooth industrial floors and in outside areas. This for example makes our electric tow tractors ideal for intralogistics applications in warehouses and production facilities.

Emission-free tow tractors with innovative 3-phase AC technology

Our emission-free tow tractors offer all the benefits of 3-phase AC technology. Compared to DC motors, 3-phase AC motors feature a smaller number of components and wear parts. This means that the motor is virtually maintenance-free and produces significantly lower running costs thanks to the greater energy efficiency. It also has a positive impact on handling and performance. Rapid changes in direction are possible without the usual delay in response. In addition, travel comfort and safety can be greatly enhanced with automatic control mechanisms such as curveCONTROL and speedCONTROL.

Tow trains with high directional stability

Individual coupling solutions allow you to use our tow tractors with a range of different trailer types. You can employ both standard couplings (such as plug couplings) and modified couplings. Based on the milk run principle, tow trains travel from station to station according to a pre-defined route. Freight items are loaded and unloaded at each stop. This allows you to transport a large number of loads with just a few trucks, thus greatly reducing your travel times. Tow trains with high directional stability offer the obvious advantage that the trailers follow exactly the same path set by the electric tow tractors. You can thus travel safely both inside and outside the rack aisle and easily avoid any obstacles. When equipped with a directionally stable tiller, any one of our tow tractors can be converted into a stable tow train in combination with a suitable trailer type.

Also equipped for fully automated operations

Intelligent automation components transform our field-tested serial trucks into Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). These combined with intelligent software keep your warehouse prepared for the future, streamline processes, and take efficiency to a new level. As an expert automation partner, we will plan and design an Automated Guided Vehicle System (AGVS) tailored to your needs, thereby enabling you to automatically increase the cost-effectiveness of your warehouse.

EZS 130

Tow tractor 3.0t

The EZS 130 is a particularly compact tow tractor, ideal for pulling trailers up to 3,000 kg. A narrow width of just 600 mm makes the EZS the ideal truck for particularly narrow and confined spaces. Attaching several trailers allows the loading areas to be varied. This contributes towards flexible and economical material handling.

The coupling is clearly visible from any position and is also easily accessible. The semi-automatic remote coupling release (optional) allows for the coupling/releasing of trailers without the operator having to leave the platform. This saves both time and costs. A further advantage: The truck is available with several different couplings and can thus be adapted to any type of trailer.

The 24 V drive motor with its 3-phase AC technology ensures high performance. The advantages: Powerful acceleration and high maximum speed. Combined with significant energy savings, extended operating times and minimised maintenance costs (due to omission of carbon brushes). This is due to the optimised efficiency, the matched relationship between the drive motor and drive electronic control as well as regenerative braking.

The main ergonomic advantages are the low stand-on platform for frequent mounting and dismounting and the short distance from operator position to load. The EZS also operates effortlessly in confined spaces. Its turning radius is so small that the operator will feel that he is turning on the spot.

The jetPILOT steering wheel, supportive backrest and automatic curveCONTROL speed reduction, as well as the load wheels with CSE tyres provide comfort and safety, especially on corners.

Features

  • Lift Capacity – 3000kg
  • Width only 600 mm
  • jetPILOT
  • curveCONTROL
  • speedCONTROL

EZS C40

Tow tractor 4.0t

The Jungheinrich EZS C40 is a versatile, economic tow tractor for pulling trailers weighing up to 4000 kg. Attaching several trailers allows the load surfaces to be infinitely variable. This contributes to flexible material turnover. With its superelastic drive wheel (SE) the EZS C40 offers optimum traction on smooth floors as well as slightly uneven ground, such as when operating outdoors. At the same time the solid tyre absorbs minor impacts, e.g. from bumpy ground and dock levellers.

With its increased ground clearance, the truck is ideally suited for travelling on uneven surfaces, even outdoors. The coupling is clearly visible from any position and is also easily accessible. This saves both time and costs.

The tow tractor can be equipped with a wide range of couplings, making it adaptable to practically any type of trailer.

The 24-V drive motor with its 3-phase AC technology ensures high performance. The advantages are powerful acceleration and high top speed, with significant energy savings, extended operating times and low maintenance. This is due to the improved efficiency, the optimised co-ordination between the drive motor and controller as well as regenerative braking.

High productivity features include the low stand-on platform and the short distance from the operator position to the load. The EZS works well in tight areas. Its turning radius is so small that the operator will feel that they are turning on the spot. The jetPILOT steering wheel, supportive backrest and curveCONTROL automatic speed reduction, all provide comfortable operation when cornering.

Features

  • Lift Capacity – 4000kg
  • Superelastic drive wheel (SE) and increased ground clearance
  • Powerful, maintenance-free 3-phase AC drive motor
