This hardworking tow tractor delivers outstanding performance. With its efficient AC direct-drive motor and 16,000-lb.* towing capacity, the MT-280 is ideal for moving trailers over long distances. It’s also narrow enough to fit through most door openings. From its all-steel construction and demountable bumpers to its high torque drum brakes, this tugger is built for years of heavy use in total comfort and safety. The easy-to-access under seat industrial battery prevents mid-shift interruptions.

  • Inboard / portable high frequency PFC battery charger provides reliable, quality charging. High frequency power factor-corrected charger improves battery performance and prevents power surges. High efficiency and global AC input. Available in inboard or portable models with several voltage options.
  • High-efficiency asynchronous AC / Direct Drive motor offers better control for full motor performance, as well as higher possible speeds and better torque at low speeds. Maintenance-free brushless electric motor equipped with temperature and speed sensors.
  • Robust long-life industrial batteries no more mid-shift recharging! These powerful batteries can last a full shift, even with long distances. Supports Opportunity Rapid charging. Encased for easy replacing. Various options and models available.
  • Long-lasting, battery-saving LED lights provides stronger, longer-lasting lighting for greater safety. Efficient design is easy on the battery current and requires minimal maintenance. LED lights that are both esthetic and built to last under all conditions.
  • AC controller with sealed connectors paired with multifunction display allows for precise speed control for greater safety and vehicle performance. Includes indicators for speed, battery state of charge, hour meter, odometer and fault warnings. Password-protected parameters and monitoring capability.
