In modern industries such as aviation ground handling, logistics centers, manufacturing plants, and large warehouses, efficient internal transportation plays a vital role in overall productivity. The Ride-on Electric Tow Tractor EPQ-B is designed to meet these demands with strong towing performance, intelligent control systems, and operator-friendly design.

With reliable power, flexible towing capability, and advanced safety features, the EPQ-B series has become an ideal solution for airport ground support and industrial material handling.

Flexible Towing with Large Storage Space – Designed for Aviation Ground Handling

The EPQ-B electric tow tractor is engineered to adapt to multiple working environments. It comes equipped with an adjustable towing hitch, allowing operators to easily match different trailer heights and towing requirements. This makes one vehicle capable of handling various transport tasks efficiently.

For aviation applications, the 4–6 ton models are specially equipped with a large luggage compartment. This design is particularly useful for airport ground service teams who need to transport tools, small cargo, baggage, or mail during operations. By reducing unnecessary trips back and forth, the EPQ-B significantly improves airport ground efficiency.

Key advantages include:

• Adjustable towing hitch for multiple trailer types

• Large storage compartment for airport logistics

• Ideal for baggage, cargo, and mail transportation

• Increased operational efficiency for ground handling

Premium Electric Control System for Maximum Safety and Stability

For any electric tow tractor, the control system acts as the brain of the vehicle. The EPQ-B series adopts internationally recognized controllers such as Curtis Instruments, ensuring high reliability and operational safety.

The system includes multiple automatic protection functions, such as:

• Overcurrent protection

• Overload protection

• Low-voltage protection

• Intelligent monitoring and diagnostics

These features help protect both the vehicle and the operator, reducing downtime and improving long-term reliability.

Powerful AC Drive System for Heavy-Duty Performance

The EPQ-B tow tractor uses an AC drive motor, which offers significant advantages compared to traditional DC systems.

Benefits of the AC drive system include:

• Higher starting torque

• Strong climbing ability

• Stable performance under full load

• Reduced maintenance requirements

Even when fully loaded, the EPQ-B maintains stable power output on ramps, uneven roads, parking garages, or airport aprons.

Easy Steering and Excellent Maneuverability

In busy warehouses or crowded airport aprons, maneuverability is essential. The EPQ-B features an electric power steering system, making the steering wheel extremely light and responsive.

This design helps:

• Reduce operator fatigue

• Improve driving precision

• Enhance stability at higher speeds

• Increase efficiency in narrow spaces

Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with large-diameter solid rubber tires, which provide excellent durability and puncture resistance. These tires perform well on both indoor epoxy floors and outdoor rough surfaces.

Advanced Safety Features for Reliable Operations

Safety is always a priority in material handling operations. The EPQ-B electric tow tractor includes several built-in safety features to protect both operators and equipment.

A standard emergency power-off switch allows the driver to immediately stop the vehicle in case of an emergency. With just one press, the entire power system is cut off, ensuring rapid response in critical situations.

The vehicle also includes a high-definition battery indicator, which helps operators monitor battery status and charge at the right time. This prevents deep discharge and extends battery life while reducing maintenance costs.

Ready for Smart Logistics and AGV Upgrades

As Industry 4.0 continues to transform modern logistics, the EPQ-B series is designed with future upgrades in mind. The vehicle can be customized with:

• Magnetic navigation AGV system

• Laser navigation AGV system

• Autonomous material transport integration

With these upgrades, the EPQ-B can be transformed into an automated tow tractor, enabling 24/7 unmanned operation and seamless integration into smart factory and automated warehouse systems.
