Introduction

We provide operator training for both novices, who have never operated a Tow Tractor before, and experienced operators who require refresher training. We train on all makes and models, as well as offer conversion courses from one Tow Tractor to another.

Tow Tractors are mainly used in the airport and automotive industries for towing trolleys, baggage carts, and other equipment. However, they are also commonly seen in warehouses, resorts, hotels, production facilities, and shopping centres. Tow Tractors come in various sizes and towing capacities, ranging from 3-wheeled electric machines to diesel-powered models with towing capacities of up to 50,000 kgs. The most common models can tow up to 10,000 kg and are typically powered by electric or diesel engines.

Training can only be delivered on-site at the customer’s premises.
