Tugger Carts

Tugger Carts from BHS offer bulk transportation of materials across floors and ramps, and hitch to one another to create high-volume material-handling trains. They are a crucial component of a pick-to-cart strategy, in which order pickers fill trailers to capacity, and tuggers travel in waves to collect items in batches. These industrial carts are ideal for order-picking applications, as a supplement or even a replacement for lift trucks. Manufacturing facilities also use Tugger Carts to move materials from one point in the production line to the next. Rather than carrying a single load at a time, as forklifts do, trains of Tugger Carts allow a tugger operator to transport multiple loads in a single trip.

Heavy-duty steel construction with a durable powder-coat finish make Tugger Carts suitable for harsh industrial environments. Custom designs are available for specific applications. Call BHS at 1.800.BHS.9500 to learn more about Tugger Carts, or to find your local dealer.

Building Logistics Trains with Industrial Tugger Carts

Logistics trains consisting of electric tuggers and a train of Tugger Carts are the ideal material handling system for a wide variety of applications. They allow for pick-to-cart strategies in distribution centers and in-plant milk-run logistics for manufacturers. Any application that needs to get goods from here — a source point — to there — a use point — and back again can benefit from heavy-duty steel Tugger Carts from BHS.

Single Tugger Carts also improve material handling efficiency in manual-pull scenarios. A single employee can navigate Center Steer Tugger Carts easily through the facility, even when fully loaded. Every model of Tugger Cart from BHS can be customized or even engineered and manufactured from scratch to meet your specifications.

Choosing Tugger Carts for Specific Applications

All BHS Tugger Carts are built for industrial settings, with steel construction and a durable powder coating. Casters are designed to roll smoothly over superflat warehouse floors or rough terrain, depending on the model. The main difference between the two stock models of BHS Tugger Carts can be found in the steering assemblies; two different steering mechanisms are available, and each provides its own set of benefits for unique applications.

• Center Steer models include wheels at each corner of the frame, with a single, larger steer-wheel at the midpoint of the deck. The central wheel allows users to pivot the unit in place for unmatched maneuverability. This model operates best on smooth interior floors, and provides ergonomic benefits for hand-pull applications.
• Quad Steer models are the most maneuverable models available for picking trains and milk-run systems. Both axles steer in tandem to improve the turning radius along the entire train, with precise tracking fidelity. At the same time, these models operate on rough surfaces and slopes.

All Tugger Carts from BHS come stock with universal tow bars and hitches for simple connection and disconnection to tuggers and one another. They are compatible with all major brands of tuggers, and feature high load capacities.

As an original equipment manufacturer, BHS can design and construct Tugger Carts to meet any specifications. Call the BHS sales team at 1.800.BHS.9500 to find out more about Tugger Carts and other material handling solutions in your industry.
