AC Vector Technology
With our AC Vector Power© technology these electric powered carts deliver maximum power and torque across the entire speed range unlike traditional DC technology. This gives you the Power You Need at Any Speed© to move any load, anywhere, under any conditions with precise speed control down to 0.1 mph.
Time-Saving Technology
The advanced battery monitoring system installed on all machine tuggers is designed to provide both visual and audible warnings when the battery pack is running low and needs to be changed or recharged. This system helps to ensure the electric tuggers are always operating at peak performance and minimizes the risk of unexpected downtime due to a dead battery.
Bluetooth® capability allows you to connect your smart phone wirelessly to your entire fleet. With a downloadable app, you can easily monitor and manage your fleet from the convenience of your smart phone.
