Bradshaw launches new fully- electric tow tractor - the PT2500
B
radshaw has launched a new state- of-the-art, fully-electric, remote- controlled, pedestrian-operated tow tractor, PT2500, designed for
moving articulated lorry trailers up to 25 tonnes in manufacturing and distribution applications.
The PT2500 is a powerful, robust, high- performance articulated trailer mover, easy and safe to operate. It moves trailers with exceptional manoeuvrability, eliminating the need for terminal tractors. The hydraulically- powered column lift can hoist up to 6,000kg.
Braking systems The PT2500 features a built-in air compressor system to operate trailer brakes utilising a dual-air brake system via the service and emergency air lines. When the tractor brakes are activated, the trailer service brakes are also activated, and vice versa. The trailer mover features an e-stop; if the
e-stop on either vehicle or remote is activated, this will dump the air, activating the emergency trailer brakes. A speed limiter controlled via a pressure sensor on the mast hydraulics activates wheel, reducing the vehicle’s speed during coupling.
Fuly electric The robust and powerful high- performance trailer mover features an 80- volt AC controller, and the high-capacity 80V 210Ah lead-acid batteries provide high initial torque and smooth acceleration. Fully electric, the PT2500 is a sustainable, environment-friendly, shunters.
Cost efficiencies Developed for logistics and distribution, the PT2500 trailer mover has been designed to aid 24-hour operations. Not requiring an HGV driver on site, the remote-controlled technology means articulated trailer movement can be a one-person function. Anyone with operator training can operate the vehicle without an HGV licence.
