How much can an electric tug tow?

Electric tugs at Vovlift tow up to 10,000 lb, including the EKKO EG30 and the Ballymore BALLYPAL trailer mover. Capacities vary by model, so check the spec table on each product page to confirm the rated tow figure matches your heaviest loaded trailer or cart train.

What is the difference between a tow-on tug and a tow tractor?

A tow-on tug couples directly to a single trailer or load and pushes or pulls it into position. An electric tow tractor is a driven unit that pulls a train of carts behind it over longer distances. Vovlift stocks both styles for different material-handling workflows.

Are lithium-ion electric tugs better for indoor use?

Lithium-ion electric tugs suit indoor and multi-shift use because they produce zero exhaust and recharge faster than many alternatives. Vovlift carries lithium models including the GNT G100Li and Ballymore BALLYPAL. Review each product page's spec table to confirm the power source and runtime for your application.

Electric Tugs

Electric tugs move trailers, carts, and heavy loads across your floor without a forklift or a full-size tractor — one operator, walk-behind or ride-on control, and zero exhaust for indoor work. Vovlift carries lithium-ion and tow-tractor models rated up to 10,000 lb from Ballymore, GNT, and EKKO, each listed with a full spec table.

How to Choose an Electric Tug

Electric tugs fall into two working styles: tow-on tugs that couple directly to a trailer or load and push or pull it, and electric tow tractors that pull a train of carts behind a driven unit. Match the style to your load type, distance, and whether you need a walk-behind or ride-on operator.

Tow-on trailer mover or electric tow tractor — which fits my floor?

Choose a tow-on trailer mover, like the Ballymore self-propelled unit, when you reposition individual trailers or heavy single loads up to 10,000 lb in tight docks. Pick an electric tow tractor, such as the GNT G100Li or EKKO EG30, when you pull multiple carts over longer runs and want continuous towing.

Does capacity or power source matter more for my application?

Start with capacity: confirm the rated tow figure covers your heaviest loaded trailer before comparing anything else. Then weigh the power source — lithium-ion models like the G100Li and Ballymore BALLYPAL recharge faster and suit multi-shift indoor use. Every listing shows both figures in its spec table so you can compare directly.
