Electric tuggersTailored solutions for industrial material handling

Electric tuggers for industrial automation

Electric tuggers are today the most efficient and safe solution for moving heavy loads within manufacturing facilities, warehouses and complex logistics environments. Thanks to electric drive technology, these systems move loads along rails, tracks or integrated production lines automatically, quietly and under full control, eliminating emissions and significantly reducing operating costs. Whitech designs and manufactures electric tuggers tailored to every industrial context: from rail-mounted electric tuggers for kilns and ceramic lines, to electric tuggers for production lines and fully custom electric tugger solutions for the most demanding applications. Every solution is developed in-house by our engineering team, backed by over 40 years of experience in industrial automation.

High-precision electric tuggers for every material handling requirement.

Whitech designs and develops cutting-edge electric tuggers to optimise material flow in the most demanding production environments. Our industrial electric tuggers combine high traction power, precision electronic control and zero emissions, delivering tangible advantages in operator safety, line productivity and energy consumption. Every Whitech electric tugger is custom-engineered based on load type, route, environmental conditions and the required level of automation, ensuring seamless integration with existing production systems.
