Description
The TTR003 Lithium Battery Powered Electric Tug is built to deliver safe, predictable movement of heavy loads in industrial environments. Fitted with a high-torque 48V 1500W DC motor, it provides a consistent drawbar pulling force of 1000N, allowing operators to manoeuvre loads up to 2.5 tonnes with confidence and control. The tug is supplied with a tow ball, hydraulic lift arm, clevis hitch mount and support wheels, along with a battery charger, power leads, mounting hardware and installation accessories. This range of included attachments provides a versatile setup for handling different towing and load-moving applications.
Its 48V 50Ah lithium-ion battery system supports opportunity charging, helping keep the tug in service throughout demanding workflows while reducing downtime associated with traditional lead-acid batteries. The unit is supplied with a 47V 8A charger and is well suited to applications requiring frequent operation across a full shift.
Operators benefit from precise control through the ergonomic hand controller, with adjustable travel speeds from 1 km/h to 4 km/h. A variable speed controller provides smooth acceleration and deceleration, supporting controlled movement in tight spaces and high-traffic areas. Built-in safety features include responsive braking, an emergency stop button, reverse safety switch and high-visibility warning light to improve operator awareness in shared work environments.
Constructed with a durable steel chassis, the TTR003 is designed for ongoing use in warehouses, manufacturing plants, logistics facilities and other commercial environments. Non-marking grey wheels help protect flooring, while the included towing attachments allow the tug to be configured to suit different equipment and connection points.
The supplied tow ball, hydraulic lift arm, clevis hitch mount and support wheels increase the TTR003’s versatility across a range of material handling tasks. Depending on the equipment and connection requirements, the tug can be used for moving compatible trailers, wheelie bins, stillage cages, stock trolleys and other wheeled assets commonly found in logistics, facilities maintenance, manufacturing and waste handling operations.
The TTR003 is CE Certified, supporting its use across Australian and international industrial and commercial sites.
Product FAQs
The TTR003 is rated to tow up to 2500kg across flat, sealed surfaces.
Yes. The TTR0003 electric tug is designed to safely move heavy wheeled loads, including waste bins and bulk containers, on sloped or inclined surfaces. It provides controlled, powered movement that reduces the physical effort required compared to manual pushing or pulling.
In many sites, waste trucks cannot safely access steep, narrow or underground driveways. As a result, bins often need to be moved to a suitable collection point. The TTR0003 allows bins to be transported safely and efficiently from internal bin rooms, underground car parks or sloped driveways to approved collection locations.
It is compatible with a wide range of wheeled trolleys, dollies, skates and bins. Custom tow hitches can be supplied if required.
It is designed for indoor or outdoor use with its heavy-duty steel body and large non-marking pneumatic wheels suitable for both indoor or outdoor flooring such as concrete, tile, timber, brick or light gravel.
The TTR003 has an IP33 rating, making it suitable for outdoor use, offering suitable protection from light rain or spray-water.
Yes. The TTR003 includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery system for cordless operation, opportunity charging and efficient movement.
The TTR003 is a fully driven electric tug. The operator walks behind the tug and uses a hand throttle to control speed and direction.
Opportunity charging is a practical method of recharging lithium-ion batteries in short, frequent bursts during natural pauses in operation. Rather than waiting for the battery to fully discharge before performing a complete charge cycle, operators “top up” the battery whenever the equipment is idle such as during lunch breaks, shift changes, or between tasks.
This approach reduces downtime, keeps machines operational for longer, and supports continuous workflow in demanding environments. Lithium-ion batteries are ideal for opportunity charging as they handle partial charging well without compromising performance or lifespan.
Yes. Manually moving heavy bins on slopes can create manual handling and slip or strain risks for workers. Using a powered electric tug helps reduce these risks by minimising physical exertion and providing controlled movement, supporting safer work practices.
The TTR003 is supplied with a tow ball, hydraulic lift arm, clevis hitch mount and support wheels to accommodate a range of towing applications. It also includes a battery charger, power leads, roller guide arms, spacer plate, tow hook pin, mounting hardware and installation tools for setup and operation.
