Tow Truck

Tow trucks are versatile vehicles designed for transporting or recovering other vehicles. They are essential for roadside assistance, vehicle repossession, and transporting vehicles from one location to another. 

Tow trucks are a vital part of the material handling chain in many operations like large factories, plants, warehouses, airports and ports where goods have to be transported over significant distances. Tow trucks offer exceptionally high productivity and economics compared to options like transporting goods on various types of forklift trucks. This advantage is even more pronounced when the load to be transported consists of a relatively large number of small items. Tow trucks are a very efficient and cost competitive form of transporting goods because they do not carry any goods themselves but pull the load placed in trolleys. A trolley train can transport a large number of items at a time, something other mobile material handling equipment cannot do.

Electric Tow Trucks carry the promise of increasing safety and productivity while economizing the cost of transporting goods and materials around your facilities.
