Pony Express AC Tugger 25K+

The Pony Express AC Tugger 25K+ tows up to 25,000 lb on casters and up to 100,000 lb on rails. Plants and warehouses use it for the heaviest carts, trailers and rail loads.

A 48 V AC transaxle holds its torque across the speed range. Choose a 100 Ah AGM or a 120 Ah lithium iron phosphate pack at order time. The external charger recharges in about 90 minutes, and a jog button lets one operator inch the tugger into the hitch.

Carts and equipment past 25,000 lb on casters are a job for the CartCaddyHD ChainDrive, rated to 50,000 lb with a hydraulic lift that puts up to 6,000 lb on the drive for traction. A ride on alternative for long routes is the RiderCaddy, rated to 10,000 lb. The swappable pack version, the AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium, is listed with the swappable pack tuggers.
