The Jungheinrich EZS C40 Electric Tow Tractor

The ideal tow tractor for indoor and outdoor use.

Optimal traction on different surfaces.

Our flexible and economical tow tractor EZS C40 is the perfect solution for combined indoor and outdoor use. Whether smooth floor or uneven grounds – the superelastic tyres always ensure optimum traction. The versatile vehicle also impresses when working with special trailers or pulling tow trains with special taxi trailers. The easily visible and accessible coupling ensures efficient and relaxed work. Full power is provided by an economical 24-V 3-phase motor with strong acceleration and high-end speeds. High flexibility is guaranteed by the universal coupling construction suitable for different trailers. Easy entry and exit thanks to a low stand-on platform relieve the driver. Moreover, comfort and safety are ensured by the short distance between the driver's seat and the load, a supportive backrest, the multifunction steering wheel jetPILOT and various driving safety systems.

The EZS C40 can pull trailers of medium weight. Its superelastic drive wheel gives it optimal traction even on very smooth industrial floors, slightly uneven ground or outside. Thanks to its high ground clearance it can handle thresholds without a problem.
