Tow Tractors – Electric & Diesel Tow Vehicles for Industrial, Airport, and Warehouse Use | 5,000–30,000 lb Tow Capacity

Tow Tractors for Industrial, Airport, and Warehouse Towing Applications

Tow tractors — also known as tuggers or burden carriers — are designed for safe, efficient towing of carts, trailers, and equipment across industrial, airport, and warehouse environments. With tow capacities ranging from 5,000 to 30,000 lb, these vehicles support material transport, baggage handling, and manufacturing operations.

Industrial tow tractors are engineered for low‑speed, high‑torque towing, tight turning radius, and operator comfort. Electric tow tractors offer quiet, emission‑free operation for indoor use, while diesel tow tractors deliver rugged performance for outdoor and heavy‑duty applications. This category captures long‑tail search intent such as “electric tow tractor for warehouse,” “airport baggage tug Canada,” “industrial tow vehicle 10,000 lb,” and “diesel tow tractor for manufacturing.” Crosslinks naturally connect to Personnel & Burden Carriers, CSA Certification, Service & Repairs, and Heavy‑Duty Equipment Rentals.
