Overview

Rear view of pony express 1061 hd electric powered tugger showing ergonomic handle and red safety stop button

The Pony Express 1061-HD Lithium Tugger delivers powerful, consistent pulling with its high-torque 24V motor and lithium battery system. It’s designed to move a variety of carts in hospitals, warehouses, labs, and industrial facilities without strain on workers.

Key Features

  • Hot swappable 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate pack, drop in a charged pack and keep the shift moving
  • Recharges in about 3 hours, an hour faster than the AGM 1061-HD
  • Battery management system warns with sound and light before the pack needs a charge
  • Bluetooth app shows state of charge on a phone for fleet management
  • Hitch reach adjusts from 39 to 54 inches so one tugger fits carts of different lengths
  • Same 300 lb shipping weight and 24.5 inch width as the AGM model, the upgrade is all battery
  • Belly button emergency stop and dead man thumb wheel stop the load the moment hands leave the handle
  • Welded powder coated steel frame built in the USA with a 2 year frame and motor warranty

Safety and Control

Ergonomic handle controls, variable speed options, and regenerative braking keep operators safe and in control. Emergency stop, horn, and battery status indicators add extra layers of safety during operation.

Built for Durability

With a heavy-duty powder-coated frame, foam-filled never-flat tires, and corrosion-resistant hitch hardware, the 1061-HD stands up to tough industrial environments.

Versatile Towing

The adjustable, lockable hitch with gas shocks makes connecting to carts fast and reliable, supporting a wide range of applications across industries.

Warranty

The Pony Express 1061-HD Lithium Electric Tugger is backed by a 2-year warranty on the frame and motor, ensuring long-lasting reliability.

The 1061-HD is built for crews that need to move heavy loads through tight aisles, dock doors, and back-of-house corridors without a full-size powered tow tractor getting in the way. Its lithium pack holds a steady charge through long shifts and tops up fast between runs, so one unit can cover multiple zones in a day. If you are comparing models for a facility where floor space is at a premium, the 1061-HD sits alongside our other small-footprint warehouse tuggers. There you can match drawbar pull and overall size to your loads, your aisle widths, and the kind of carts or wheeled equipment your team already runs.

Compare it with the rest of the lithium tugger range, from the compact 1061 Lithium to the AC Tugger 25K Plus Lithium.

What does the hot swappable battery on the 1061-HD Lithium do?

It keeps the tugger working through long shifts. When the 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate pack runs low, the operator drops in a charged pack and keeps the shift moving instead of parking the tugger on a charger.

How is the 1061-HD Lithium different from the AGM 1061-HD?

The upgrade is all battery. The Lithium has a hot swappable 40 Ah lithium iron phosphate pack that recharges in about 3 hours, an hour faster than the AGM 1061-HD. It has the same 300 lb shipping weight and 24.5 in width as the AGM model.

How much can the 1061-HD Lithium pull?

It is rated for 2,000 lb on a flat surface. Slopes and rough floors raise rolling resistance and reduce usable capacity, and the spec sheet gives no fixed incline rating, so size it to your heaviest loaded cart and confirm any ramps with the factory.

How do I charge the 1061-HD Lithium?

The external charger accepts 85 to 270 VAC single phase at 50 or 60 Hz, drawing a nominal 6 A at 120 VAC or 2.9 A at 240 VAC. It is UL, cUL and CSA listed and recharges the pack in about 3 hours.

Can we monitor battery status on a phone?

Yes. The battery management system gives a visual and audible warning before the pack needs a charge, and Bluetooth with an app shows the state of charge on a smart phone for fleet management.

How does the 1061-HD Lithium hitch to our carts?

It uses an adjustable, lockable hitch with gas shocks and corrosion resistant hardware for a fast, reliable connection. Hitch reach adjusts from 39 to 54 in, so one tugger fits carts of different lengths.

How fast does the 1061-HD Lithium go?

Speed is variable from 0 to 1.5 mph on the low setting and 0 to 3 mph on the high setting, driven by a high torque 24 volt motor.

What safety features does the 1061-HD Lithium have?

A belly button emergency stop and dead man thumb wheel stop the load the moment hands leave the handle. It also has a horn, regenerative braking, an electromagnetic parking brake and non-marking puncture proof tires, and runs under 65 dBA.

Does a 1061-HD Lithium operator need training?

It can. As a general rule, OSHA 1910.178 covers tractors, motorized hand trucks and other powered industrial trucks and requires that only trained and authorized operators use them. Whether that applies to your site is the employer's decision, so check with your safety lead before the tugger goes into service.

Is the 1061-HD Lithium made in the USA?

Yes. It has a welded powder coated steel frame built in the USA.
