16.12.2011 Hyster New Tow Tractor LO5.0T

Hyster has released an electric tow tractor the LO5.0T. The new machine can pull 5 tonnes and meets the needs of manufacturing operations to carry material to production lines, making it ideal for the automotive and engineering industries and for any type of line feed operation. The new Hyster tow tractor provides a 5 tonnes pulled mass capability with powerful acceleration and a maximum travel speed of 7.0 km/h with load and 12.0 km/h without load. Featuring a high performance 2.6 kW AC traction motor, 24V (465 or 620 Ah) battery and regenerative braking, the LO5.0T tow tractors offer excellent energy efficiency and low cost of operation.

The tow tractor design includes scooter control for the operator. The scooter with finger tip controls is mounted on a tilted plate helping to reduce the operator’s arm and shoulder movement and minimize driver fatigue. Performance settings such as speed reduction on cornering can be adjusted via a console by a service engineer.
