Tow tractors: one driver, a whole train
6 EP tow tractors pulling 1 to 6 tonnes of trolleys and cages.
Each one is ordered new from the EP factory for you. Ask for a price and a delivery date.
Which tractor pulls your train?
Tell us how many trolleys you pull at once, how heavy each one is when loaded, and whether there's a ramp on the route. We'll show the EP tow tractors rated for it.
EP rates each tractor for a towed load on a level floor, and gives how steep a ramp it climbs at that full load: 3% for walk-behind and stand-on models, 7% for seated. A lighter train climbs more. Floors, tyres and trolley wheels change the real answer, so we check your route before we recommend one.

Tow tractor or forklift?
A forklift carries one load at a time. A tow tractor pulls a train of them behind it, so it suits the same run made again and again.
A tow tractor suits
- Feeding a production line from stores
- Trolleys, cages and roll containers
- Long runs across a site
- Busy areas with people on foot
A forklift suits
- Lifting pallets into racking
- Loading and unloading trailers
- Loads that aren't on wheels
- One-off moves around the yard

How much can an electric tow tractor pull?
EP rates its tow tractors for a towed load on a level floor: 1 tonne for the walk-behind QDD10 and QDD10L, 3 tonnes for the QDD30S and QDD301T, 4.5 tonnes for the QDD45S and 6 tonnes for the QDD601T. Ramps, the floor and your trolleys' wheels change the real figure, so we check those before recommending a model.
Can a tow tractor go up a ramp?
Yes, within limits. At full rated load, EP's walk-behind and stand-on tractors climb 3% and the seated tractors 7%. Empty, they climb 15 to 25%. A lighter train climbs more, so tell us about any ramp on the route and we'll match the tractor to it.
Should I choose a tow tractor or a forklift?
Choose a tow tractor when the same run is made again and again with loads on wheels, such as trolleys to a production line or roll cages to dispatch. Choose a forklift when loads have to be lifted into racking or onto trailers. Many sites run both.
Walk-behind, stand-on or seated?
Walk-behind tractors suit light trolleys up to a tonne on short runs. Stand-on tractors pull 3 or 4.5 tonnes and turn in 1,168 mm, so they suit busy areas where the driver steps on and off. Seated tractors suit long runs and ramps, at up to 17 km/h empty.
Will a tow tractor work with my trolleys?
Usually, if the trolleys have a drawbar or a towing eye. The stand-on tractors have a coupling that sets at four heights from 188 to 322 mm, and the seated tractors at three heights from 244 to 379 mm. Tell us about your trolleys and we'll check the coupling.
Can I hire a tow tractor?
Only as part of a fleet. We hire tow tractors alongside forklifts or other trucks in one contract hire agreement, at a weekly price on a 12-month contract, with servicing and repairs included. To buy one on its own, ask us for a price.
