X Series Electric Tow Tractor
The Hangcha X Series Electric Tow Tractor is an electric towing vehicle offering a 6,000kg to 18,000kg capacity, an automatic Electrical Park Brake (EPB), and a side-extraction battery system.
Formulated to satisfy demanding drawbar pull requirements inside heavy paper mills, manufacturing yards, and cargo ports, this tow tractor delivers a significant performance upgrade. The automatic Electrical Park Brake (EPB) engages instantly upon stopping, preventing rollbacks under heavy tow loads. The standard side-extraction battery slot allows simple slide-out maintenance runs, complemented by high-efficiency LED lights.
Key Features
- 18-Ton Drawing Power: High-torque brushless drive system designed to pull heavy industrial wagon trains.
- Automatic EPB Brake: Eliminates manual handbrake reliance by locking wheels automatically during stop cycles.
- Slide-Out Battery Trays: Simplifies battery swaps and maintenance checks through the side frame.
- Ergonomic Controls: Intuitively placed accelerator pedals and steer wheel layouts to prevent joint strain.
How does the automatic EPB system protect heavy tow operations on ramp slopes?
Towing up to 18 tons on factory slopes puts massive stress on manual brakes. If an operator forgets to pull a mechanical brake lever, the train can roll backward. The automatic EPB engages instantly when stationary to lock the drivetrain, preventing dock collisions.
