Horizontal material handling
A Tow Tractor Alternative to Repeated Forklift Trips
The TT-316 is designed for operations where trailers, carts, and staged loads need to move across a facility without tying up forklifts for every horizontal move.
Its compact 39.5 in width, 74.5 in turning radius, 36V industrial battery fit, and off-board charging support make it practical for busy indoor material-handling routes.
