Tugger train trailers

Industrial trailers for efficient warehouse management

Particularly for just-in-time production, perfectly timed supply and removal of materials to and from the production machinery is crucial. In most cases, this requires the simultaneous use of multiple vehicles, which results in a larger initial investment, higher on-going costs and an increased risk of accidents due to the high traffic volume.

Tugger trains represent an effective alternative. These transport wagons, also known as industrial trailers, are coupled one behind the other in a route train, typically used in conjunction with an electric tow tractor. Since different types of trailers can be integrated into the tugger train, it’s possible to simultaneously transport different goods to the machine locations. They also incur lower costs and minimise the amount of traffic in warehouse and production facilities.

Industrial trailers for a multitude of applications

Special applications require special industrial trucks. This applies particularly to tasks in which business-specific transport requirements, unusual goods or complicated spaces prove problematic for our standard trucks. For this reason, we adapt our trailers to the individual application. This allows us to combine the quality and efficiency of our standard-production vehicles with the specific requirements of our customers.

What makes this possible is the systematic modular design of the entire Jungheinrich range. All of our tugger trains excel in this area thanks to their high directional stability: Even in situations with long logistics trailers and tight spaces, these trailers follow the exact same path as the electric tow tractor. This means that your operators can drive safely both inside and outside the rack aisle and easily avoid any possible obstacles. These trailers feature straightforward coupling and uncoupling, which further reduces downtime and boosts productivity.

Tow train trailers in control systems

Use these high-quality tugger train trailers in combination with our electric tow tractors or as a forklift trailer. We also offer complete solutions with integrated warehouse planning, in which the racking and truck operate “hand-in-hand” as a single, holistic system. These solutions are ideal for fixed, synchronised workflows, such as the supply and removal of materials to and from machinery. Integrating tugger trains in control systems and management programs is particularly beneficial in such cases. Our system consultants will be happy to advise you in this area and will help you figure out ways for making your production processes leaner and more effective.
