Industrial tuggersTowing systems for material handling in production processes

Industrial tuggers for every production environment

In modern manufacturing facilities, selecting the right material handling system is a critical factor for competitiveness. Whitech industrial tuggers are built to meet this need with robust, reliable solutions tailored to every production process. With over 40 years of experience in industrial automation, our team designs every towing system in-house, from layout analysis through to production delivery. Our range includes rail-mounted industrial tuggers for kilns and ceramic lines, towing systems integrated into continuous assembly lines and custom solutions for the most challenging applications. Whatever the context, every Whitech industrial tugger delivers precise cycle repeatability, low maintenance requirements and native integration with existing control systems.

Industrial tuggers engineered where material handling leaves no room for error.

In production environments where pace is relentless and margins for error are minimal, Whitech industrial tuggers make the difference. Every system is developed starting from the customer's real operating conditions: load type, cycle frequency, available space and required level of automation. The result is an industrial tugger that doesn't adapt to the process — it becomes an integral part of it. Structural reliability, robust electronics and zero compromise on safety: these are the pillars on which we build every industrial towing solution.

Precision electronic control
Electronic management of traction force, speed and safety thresholds is the technological core of every Whitech industrial tugger. Control systems are compatible with PLCs, industrial networks and SCADA interfaces, ensuring full process supervision and real-time diagnostics from any point on the line.

2

health_and_safety

Regulatory compliance and operator protection
Every Whitech industrial tugger is designed in compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and European workplace safety regulations. By replacing manual handling with automated systems, the main causes of workplace injury are eliminated and occupational illness absences are significantly reduced, with a measurable positive impact on workforce management.

3

eco

Energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact
Compared to internal combustion towing systems, electric-drive industrial tuggers consume less energy, produce no exhaust emissions and operate at lower noise levels. This translates into reduced operating costs, healthier working environments and a tangible contribution to the company's ESG objectives, with an ROI that becomes evident in the short term.

design_services

Engineering applied to your specific production process
No two industrial tuggers are alike, because no two facilities are alike. Whitech analyses the customer's process before designing any solution: required capacity, coupling type, route layout, environmental conditions and automation level. The resulting industrial tugger is optimised for that specific process — not a generic solution forced to fit.

5

contact_support

Continuous support from first contact to post-installation assistance
The value of a Whitech industrial tugger does not end at delivery. We support every project from initial consultation through to after-sales technical assistance, with rapid intervention, available spare parts and scheduled preventive maintenance programmes. Our goal is to ensure maximum operational continuity for your plant, year after year.
