Product Overview
The QYD30-480 Electric Tow Tractor is a 3-ton electric towing vehicle designed for horizontal material transportation in warehouses, factories, airports, logistics centers, and production facilities.
Powered by a battery-electric drive system, this tow tractor provides strong traction, low-noise operation, and zero-emission performance. It is mainly used for pulling carts, trailers, material racks, and logistics trolleys over medium and long distances.
Unlike forklifts that lift and stack goods, the QYD30-480 focuses on material movement and towing operations, making it an ideal solution for applications where continuous transportation is required.

1. 3 Ton Strong Towing Capacity
The QYD30-480 is designed for pulling loads up to 3,000 kg, making it suitable for:
- Factory material carts
- Warehouse trailers
- Assembly line supply carts
- Airport ground support equipment
- Distribution center transportation
The electric towing system provides stable pulling force and smooth acceleration, especially suitable for repeated transportation routes.
2. Electric AC Drive System
The vehicle adopts an AC drive system, offering:
- High energy efficiency
- Smooth speed control
- Low maintenance requirements
- Strong climbing ability
- Longer service life
Compared with internal combustion tow tractors, electric models produce no exhaust emissions and operate with lower noise, making them suitable for indoor environments.
3. Compact Structure & Flexible Operation
The compact body design allows the QYD30-480 to operate efficiently in:
- Narrow warehouse aisles
- Production workshops
- Assembly areas
- Logistics corridors
A small turning radius improves maneuverability when pulling multiple trailers or carts. Similar 3-ton electric tow tractor models typically provide turning radii around 1100–1500 mm depending on configuration.
4. Ergonomic Operator Design
The operator platform is designed for frequent transportation tasks.
Features include:
- Comfortable standing/riding position
- Easy forward and reverse control
- Emergency stop switch
- Simple towing hook operation
- Good visibility during operation
This reduces operator fatigue during long-distance material transfer.
