Safety is Key When Using a Powered Tug

The day-to-day logistics of running a hospital are diverse and complex and can change from moment to moment. This is why safety is of paramount importance and the best equipment such as a battery-powered tug from Tractive Power is needed.

We have worked with a number of hospitals across the country, immediately and successfully putting pedestrian tug units to use.

The main areas they are used include towing various equipment trolleys plus towing bins and trailers of laundry between different parts of the building.

Easily Manoeuvrable Tug Units

The reasoning behind using pedestrian tug units is that they are extremely powerful and safe plus they are designed in order to provide a long and useful service life. Their three-wheel design means they can be easily manoeuvred, which is ideal for small hospital corridors plus they are versatile enough to meet every challenge.

Tractive Power often works with our customers on bespoke tug units to meet individual requirements, with conversations taking place regarding safety.

Our vehicles can be fitted with extra safety lights and front indicators plus large rubber bumpers and a high-visibility beacon. They can also be equipped with an on-board charger to ensure the machines can be charged at a number of locations.
