Battery-powered electric tugger-pusher TUG 1

Overview
Cobrane, a French manufacturer, offers a compact electric tow tractor TUG 1 designed to automate the movement of wheeled waste containers in residential complexes, industrial sites and healthcare facilities. The vehicle reduces manual handling effort through electric propulsion and intelligent coupling systems, making it suitable for confined and constrained environments.

High towing capacity for all bin types
The tow tractor adapts to a full fleet of containers thanks to intelligent coupling systems:

• Simultaneous handling: with a dedicated accessory, allows hooking and towing two 2-wheel containers at the same time.
• 4-wheel bin traction: robust coupling enabling towing of large-volume bins equipped with a retractable drawbar.
• Train formation: possibility to tow series of containers linked together for maximum productivity.

Ramp performance and extreme compactness
Designed for modern buildings and hard-to-access areas:

• Ramp climbing: capability to climb slopes up to 10° with a load up to 200 kg.
• Compact footprint: reduced width of 65 cm, compatible with standard doors, elevators and tight waste rooms.

MSD prevention and operator safety
Mechanising container handling reduces occupational risks and delivers ergonomic benefits:

• Total safety: precise control of braking and steering, even on slopes.
• Zero manual strain: effort is fully supported by the electric vehicle.
• Professional value: equipment adapted for field teams and regular operational use.

Applications

• Facility management
• Residential complexes
• Industrial sites
