Quick Overview

The Pony Express 1062-LS is the linen and laundry configuration of EK Tech's proven 1062 electric tugger. It hitches to the manual linen carts and bulk laundry trucks your facility already owns and tows up to 2000 lbs behind a single walking operator, so housekeeping staff stop straining against loaded carts on long corridor runs between the laundry room, service elevators, and guest floors.

Power comes from a 0.6 HP 24V DC drive running through foam filled non marking tires that will not scuff polished hospital or hotel flooring. Two speed ranges keep the machine safe indoors. A low mode tops out at 1.5 mph for tight service corridors and elevator lobbies while high mode reaches 3 mph for back of house hauls. The 35 Ah deep cycle AGM battery delivers up to 8 hours of operation and recharges in about 4 hours from any standard wall outlet through the onboard smart charger.

The front mounting plate accepts EK Tech's full hitch catalog, from pintle and ball couplers to quick release pin hitches, so the 1062-LS can be matched to canvas basket trucks, poly box trucks, exchange carts, and rolling linen cages. Dead man throttle operation, an emergency stop, a horn, and an automatic holding brake that locks the load on ramps round out the safety package.

Like every Pony Express tugger the 1062-LS is welded from powder coated steel and built in the USA. For facilities that move heavier bulk loads the 5000 lb Pony Express 1065-LS is the step up model.

Options & Upgrades

Accessories

Popular pairings for the 1062-LS include spare hitch heads so one tugger can serve several cart fleets, the 8 ft standard or hospital grade power cords for convenient charging away from the wall, and EK Tech motorized linen carts for departments that prefer powered carts over tugger and cart trains. Matching hitch hardware mounts to each additional cart so operators can swap loads in seconds.

How to Purchase & What's Included

Can I order the 1062-LS over the phone?

Yes. Call us toll free at 1-888-233-5563 and we will take care of everything. All we need is your payment method and your shipping address.

If you are still deciding, we are glad to talk you through the options and help you land on the right choice.

Does Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance help pay for the 1062-LS?

Most products in this range do not meet the strict medical device rules that Medicare and Medicaid use, so they rarely qualify for coverage. We do not work with Medicare and we do not bill private insurance directly.

Some private plans will reimburse you outside of the Medicare framework. The best way to find out is to call your insurer and ask. If they say yes, we are happy to provide an invoice and proof of purchase so you can file for reimbursement.

Notice to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. Medicare pays for equipment only when the supplier has a Medicare supplier number. Heavy Duty Mobility does not have one, so Medicare will not pay for anything we sell you. You are personally and fully responsible for payment.

Financing & Monthly Payments

You can spread the cost of your 1062-LS over time with Klarna. Choose monthly installments or a lease to own plan at checkout. The minimum monthly amount shows next to the price near the top of this page.

Shipping, Warranty & Returns

Shipping

How long until my 1062-LS arrives?

Orders typically leave the warehouse within one to three business days. Once on the way, expect a transit time of around three to seven business days depending on your distance from the warehouse.

The stock status sits just under the product title near the top of this page. If it shows a lead time, the ship out window is that lead time plus the normal transit time above.

Will I get tracking?

Yes. As soon as your order ships we email you a tracking link so you can follow it all the way to your door.

Warranty

What warranty comes with the 1062-LS?

EK Tech backs the 1062-LS with a manufacturer limited warranty. The exact coverage terms for this model are listed in the Specifications tab and the product documentation. Normal wear items and damage from misuse or accidents are excluded, as with all manufacturer warranties.

If something goes wrong, reach out to us first. We can often sort out a fix over the phone or ship a replacement part. Contact us and we will help.

Returns

Can I return the 1062-LS?

Yes, returns are possible. Please read the full returns policy for the details.

Documentation, Manuals & Safety

Factory documentation for this model line

Key safety features include dead man throttle operation that stops the unit the moment the operator releases the controls, a belly mounted emergency stop, a horn, and an automatic holding brake that keeps hitched carts from rolling on inclines. The thumb wheel controls carry an IP54 ingress rating so splashes in laundry areas will not damage them. Observe the derated load guidance on ramps and keep travel in low mode around pedestrians.

Daily Operation & Transportation

Daily use is simple. The adjustable pallet jack style tiller folds upright for storage in a closet or alcove and the 25 in by 24 in footprint fits service elevators easily. Operators steer with ergonomic thumb wheel controls, choose low or high speed range, and reverse at reduced speed for precise cart spotting at chutes and washers.

Charging happens through the onboard 120 to 240 VAC smart charger, so there is no external charging station to install. Plug into any standard outlet at the end of the shift and the AGM pack is ready in about 4 hours. An illuminated gauge shows remaining charge at a glance and automatic sleep mode protects the battery when the unit sits idle. The foam filled tires never need air, and the sealed AGM batteries are maintenance free.

Common Questions

What is the difference between the 1062-LS and the 1065-LS

Both share the same 25 in by 24 in footprint and linen cart hitch system. The 1062-LS uses a 0.6 HP drive rated to tow 2000 lbs while the 1065-LS uses a 1.6 HP drive rated to 5000 lbs. Choose the 1062-LS for typical hotel and hospital linen carts and the 1065-LS for heavy bulk laundry trucks or multi cart trains.

What kinds of linen carts can it pull

The front mounting plate accepts EK Tech's full hitch catalog, so it connects to canvas basket trucks, poly box trucks, exchange carts, and rolling linen cages. A cart clamp kit is also available that grips bulk bins without permanently modifying your carts.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it

The standard 35 Ah deep cycle AGM battery runs up to 8 hours per charge, which covers a full laundry shift. Plug the onboard smart charger into any standard outlet and the pack recharges in about 4 hours. A larger 70 Ah battery package is available for extended runtime.

Is it safe to use in hospital corridors around people

Yes. Low mode limits speed to 1.5 mph, the dead man controls stop the tugger the instant the operator lets go, and an automatic holding brake keeps loads from rolling on ramps. The foam filled tires are non marking and the controls carry an IP54 rating against splashes.

Which hitch should I order

That depends on the coupler style of your existing carts. The factory hitch catalog for the 1062 and 1065 covers pintle, ball, pin, ring, and cart mounted couplers. Send us a photo of your cart and we will match the correct hitch before you order.

Where is the Pony Express 1062-LS made

EK Tech welds and assembles Pony Express tuggers at its Wisconsin factory in the USA, which keeps parts and support close by for the life of the machine.

Is EK Tech a Good Brand?

EK Tech, formally Electro Kinetic Technologies of Germantown Wisconsin, has spent more than two decades engineering motorized carts and tuggers that take strain injuries out of material handling. The company designs and welds its Pony Express tuggers in the USA and backs them with long frame and drive warranties, and its ergonomic control design has earned industry recognition. Hospitals, hotels, commercial laundries, and manufacturers across the country run EK Tech equipment daily, and the company remains a member of MHI, the leading US material handling association. As an authorized EK Tech dealer we see very low defect rates across the tugger line.
