Pony Express 1062-LS Linen and Laundry Tugger

The Pony Express 1062-LS is the linen and laundry configuration of EK Tech’s proven 1062 electric tugger. It hitches to the manual linen carts and bulk laundry trucks your facility already owns and tows up to 2,000 lb behind a single walking operator, so housekeeping staff stop straining against loaded carts on long corridor runs between the laundry room, service elevators, and guest floors.

Power comes from a 0.6 HP 24V DC drive running through foam filled non marking tires that will not scuff polished hospital or hotel flooring. Two speed ranges keep the machine safe indoors. A low mode tops out at 1.5 mph for tight service corridors and elevator lobbies while high mode reaches 3 mph for back of house hauls. The 35 Ah deep cycle AGM battery delivers up to 8 hours of operation and recharges in about 4 hours from any standard wall outlet through the onboard smart charger.

The front mounting plate accepts EK Tech’s full hitch catalog, from pintle and ball couplers to quick release pin hitches, so the 1062-LS can be matched to canvas basket trucks, poly box trucks, exchange carts, and rolling linen cages. Dead man throttle operation, an emergency stop, a horn, and an automatic holding brake that locks the load on ramps round out the safety package.

Like every Pony Express tugger the 1062-LS is welded from powder coated steel and built in the USA. For facilities that move heavier bulk loads the 5,000 lb Pony Express 1065-LS is the step up model.
