Outstandingly suited as industrial tow tractors


	VOLK Electric Tow Tractors are usually used as industrial towing vehicles. Many industrial facilities have grown or- ganically over decades, which often has led to winding production flows. The angled factory buildings, which are so typical for Europe, result in conflicting requirements with regards to tow tractors: On the one hand they should be as a compact as possible due to narrow working aisles and other infrastructural bottlenecks. And on the other hand they should also feature a high towing capacity, especially for use on ramps which is required because the produc- tion process is often conducted on multiple floors to save space. In cases like these, many customers opt for pro- duct line K tractors because they have been specifically designed to balance those contradicting requirements. Customers who do not have such spacial restrictions and who place emphasize on a long driving range usually choose the full-size tractors of product line N.


	Ideal as airport tow tractors

	VOLK Electric Tow Tractors are also often used as baggage hauling vehicles at airports. The especially compact Type K vehicles are used here primarily for transportation and shunting in the often extremely narrow inside baggage handling areas. Type N vehicles feature a long range with their generous battery capacity. They are therefore also used on the airport apron for transporting baggage trailers between the terminal building and the aircraft parking positions. The heavy tractors of product line N can even be used for pushback tasks up to 100 tons MTOW (e.g. Boeing 737 or Airbus A320). Thus they present an especially environmentally friendly alternative to conventional pushback tractors which are usually equiped with a diesel engines.
