Electric tow tractors: The power behind your horizontal transport

An electric tractor is used for material handling in production halls, at auctions and in warehouses. As the name suggests, you use it to pull loads to the right location. These are usually several trolleys, trailers or carts in a row. Compact, manoeuvrable and extremely efficient: these are the electric tractors we have in our range at Prins.

What is an electric tow tractor and why do you need one?

Anyone who needs to transport large quantities of goods at once wants to do so quickly and efficiently. An electric forklift truck transports the goods safely and efficiently to the desired location. It doesn’t matter whether you work in the horticultural sector in Westland or manage a distribution centre in Tilburg. At Prins, you’ll find a Toyota or CESAB electric tow tractor that perfectly suits your logistics needs. Time savings, greater comfort for your staff and fewer logistics movements: everything you need for your Next Move.

Manoeuvrability and pulling power of up to 5,000 kg

What pulling power do you need for your specific working environment? Our advisors are happy to help you with this too. You can choose a compact walk-behind model for light loads or a powerful sit-down model that can tow up to 5 tonnes. Whichever you choose, you will always be extremely manoeuvrable with these machines. Even if you work in cramped production areas or narrow aisles, you can still manoeuvre perfectly.

Of course, we also look at the type of trolleys or carts you want to pull. Depending on this, we provide the right coupling system. These can be automatic couplings or customised solutions. At Prins, you can rest assured that the (used) machine you choose will fit seamlessly with your current equipment. Together, we can achieve greater efficiency for your internal logistics. Up and forward.

Smart moves

Rent an electric tow tractor

Do you only need extra capacity during peak periods? We can help you with that too. Rent an electric tow tractor that suits your needs from Prins and you can get started right away. Whether you want to rent a machine for one day or 100 months, we will work with you to find the right solution. Our advisors will be happy to tell you more about the options. You can contact us for both short and long-term rentals.

Leasing an electric tow tractor

Purchasing a machine requires an investment. But perhaps you would rather not dip into your working capital. Even then, Prins has options for you. You can lease any type of electric tow tractor from us. From full operational leases to financial leases: together, we will find the lease option that best suits your situation. So that you know exactly where you stand for a fixed monthly amount.

Trade in your tractor?

Is it time to replace your current electric tow tractor? Then we would be happy to take over the machine you are currently working with. The mechanics in our own workshops will then completely overhaul it and we will add it to our second-hand fleet. This way, you will receive a refund for your used machine and together we will be working in an even more sustainable way.

Ergonomics and safety in horizontal transport

The big advantage of an electric tow tractor is that your employees no longer have to move trolleys or carts manually. What’s more, these tractors are also designed to be completely ergonomic. The stand-up models from Toyota and CESAB have a low entry height for less strain when getting on and off frequently. If you opt for a sit-down model, you offer your employees optimal comfort for long shifts. Our advisors will find the ideal solution for your situation.

Of course, safety is always a top priority for Prins and for you. You will therefore be pleased to know that all electric tow tractors in our extensive stock are equipped with automatic speed reduction when cornering and intuitive braking systems. This means that the trolley is always under control, even when an emergency stop is necessary. Our engineers in Maasdijk and Tilburg pay extra attention to this during the annual inspection.

Sustainable usability with Li-ion technology

For almost all machines involved in material handling, the switch to Lithium-ion is a logical one. This also applies to electric tow tractors. During breaks, you simply put them on the charger and then you can use them throughout the day. No replacement batteries, no separate charging room. That saves you valuable floor space.

Let our advisors take care of everything for you. Starting with a calculation for your specific application. The Total Cost of Ownership is significantly lower thanks to the maintenance-free batteries and long service life. Together, we will naturally arrive at the most future-proof energy source for your fleet. Because your horizontal transport must always continue and never come to a standstill.
