KING Materials Handling has announced the distribution of the TITAN Tow Tug, which the company claims provides a cheaper alternative to pushing and pulling heavily laden trolleys by hand.

According to King, the TITAN Tow Tug, which has a maximum capacity of 1000kg, features thumb operated speed controls that enable it to go from slow crawl to fast walking speed.

The TITAN Tow Tug has two pneumatic tyred wheels which cushion the load while the castors steady the tug.

King says the device comes equipped with emergency stop, key switching, battery charge indicator and auto reverse emergency pad. Two 12V gel cell batteries and inboard charger are also incorporated.

King also offers the complete TITAN Tow Tug + Trolley package as well as lease plans.
