Pony Express AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium
SKU AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium
Overview
The Pony Express AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium is the highest capacity tugger in the Electro Kinetic Technologies line, built to move heavy carts and loads up to 25,000 lb on casters and up to 100,000 lb on rails. This lithium configuration replaces the standard AGM pack with a 48 VDC, 120 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery for faster charging, longer service life and a quick swap connector for multi-shift operations. The welded steel frame and powder coat finish are built in the USA for demanding warehouse, manufacturing and distribution floors.
Power comes from a 48V AC, 1.7 kW transaxle with AC Vector Power technology, which delivers strong torque across the full speed range rather than tapering off like traditional DC drives. The operator controls speed from 0 to 1.5 mph in low and 0 to 3.0 mph in high, with regenerative braking and an electromagnetic automatic holding brake for safe handling on inclines. A single charge supports up to 8 hours of operation and the external certified charger brings the pack back to full in about 90 minutes.
The lithium battery is the key upgrade over the AGM model. It charges far faster, lasts many times longer than lead based chemistries and supports a fast swap so a charged pack can be dropped in without downtime. A built in monitoring system with Bluetooth pairs to a smartphone app so operators and managers can track state of charge, consumed amp-hours and voltage, with visual and audible alerts when it is time to recharge.
