LEARN THE BENEFITS TO IMPLEMENTING A TUG SYSTEM
Most manufacturing facilities are faced with three main challenges to achieve operational excellence: safety, labor efficiency, and productivity.
Improving safety, labor efficiency, and productivity by optimizing the way you move goods around your facility can SAVE YOU MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in operating expenses.
INCREASED SAFETY
Safety is one of the biggest concerns in manufacturing facilities. Every year, there are close to 35,000 OSHA-reportable forklift accidents resulting in serious injury or death. Since 2002, there have only been 8 total OSHA-reportable tow tractor accidents. Converting to Taylor-Dunn tug systems can drastically reduce your risk of injuries compared to the conventional forklift in horizontal material flow areas.

"By implementing tug systems, we eliminated forklift accidents in our highest traffic area."- Environmental Health and Safety Manager
INCREASED LABOR EFFICIENCY
Tug Benefits
"By implementing Tow Tractors, I was able to reduce my material delivery time by over 50% and workforce by 10%."- Manufacturing Engineer
INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY
Taylor-Dunn tug systems have a lower total cost of ownership by up to 70% compared to forklifts - lower operating costs, lower acquisition costs, and built to last. By converting your forklifts to Taylor-Dunn tug systems in horizontal material flow areas, you can save millions of dollars in operational expenses.
"By converting 24 of our forklifts to tug systems, we were able to save 2.66M over 5 years through vehicle, safety and labor savings"-Operations Manager
