Moving Fabric Rolls in the Textile Industry
Safe and Efficient Handling of Fabric Rolls Up to 15000kg
Moving fabric rolls in the textile industry presents unique challenges due to the size, weight, and shape of the loads. Whether transporting single rolls, stacked stillages, or material-loaded trolleys, manual handling can be inefficient and hazardous.
Tractive Power’s battery-powered tugs are purpose-built to support textile manufacturers and processors, delivering a safer and more efficient way to handle heavy and awkward fabric rolls. By removing the need for manual pushing or forklifts, our tugs reduce injuries and streamline operations across your facility.
Wireless Control for Safer Fabric Roll Handling
In busy textile plants where fabric rolls are stacked or trolleys are fully loaded, visibility and stability are key concerns. Our wireless radio control system allows operators to control the load from a safe distance, improving precision and safety.
With proportional speed control and responsive steering, your team can manoeuvre fabric roll stillages with complete confidence, ideal for confined spaces or sensitive work zones.
