Safety and Control

With variable speed forward and reverse control, regenerative braking, holding brake for inclines, and built-in emergency features, the 1065 ensures maximum operator safety and ease of use.

Built for Durability

Engineered in the USA, the heavy-duty powder-coated steel frame combined with foam-filled, never-flat tires guarantees performance even in demanding environments.

Versatile Towing

The 1065 supports a wide range of hitch options, allowing it to move carts of different shapes and sizes efficiently across industries.

Warranty

The Pony Express 1065 Electric Tugger comes with a 2-year warranty on the frame and motor, giving users long-term reliability and peace of mind.

The Pony Express 1065 is built for moving full carts and platform loads that a person should not be pushing by hand. With a 5,000 lb tow rating, it handles loaded order pickers, supply carts, and laundry bins across long warehouse runs without wearing out your crew. If you are weighing it against other models, it sits in our lineup of powered cart tug for warehouses options, where you can compare tow ratings, battery range, and footprint side by side before you commit. Most buyers land here after a near-miss with manual towing or a workers' comp claim, so spec it against your heaviest real load, not the average one.

What is the Pony Express 1065 used for?

The 1065 is a walk behind electric tugger for moving full carts and platform loads a person should not push by hand. It tows loaded order pickers, supply carts and laundry bins across long runs in warehouses, hospitals, resorts, laboratories and light to heavy manufacturing. A wide hitch portfolio lets it pull carts of different shapes and sizes.

How much weight can the 1065 tow?

The 1065 is rated to tow 5,000 lb on a flat surface. It can climb inclines up to 30 degrees, but the load it can handle on a slope is lower. Size it for your heaviest loaded cart and the steepest ramp on the route, not the average load, since floor condition and slope both cut usable capacity.

What is the difference between the 1065 and the 1062?

The 1065 pulls 5,000 lb, two and a half times the 2,000 lb rating of the 1062, on the same 25 by 24 in body. Its 70 Ah AGM battery is double the 1062 standard battery, and it ships only about 50 lb heavier. Choose the 1062 for lighter carts and the 1065 when loaded carts or short trains get heavy.

How long does the 1065 battery last and how is it charged?

The 70 Ah AGM battery gives up to 8 hours of operation. The charger is built in and plugs into any 120 or 240 VAC outlet, and a full recharge takes about 4 hours. The charger carries UL, cUL and CE listings.

How fast does the 1065 go, and what stops it safely?

Speed is variable from 0 to 1.5 mph in the low setting and 0 to 3 mph in the high setting, forward and reverse. The dead man thumb wheel brings the unit to a controlled stop when the operator lets go, a belly button emergency stop protects the operator, and an electromagnetic brake parks the load on an incline.

Can the 1065 work in cold areas or on finished floors?

It is rated to operate from 0 to 40 C, which is 32 to 104 F, so it is not rated for spaces below freezing. The machine carries an IP42 rating and the controller IP54 against dust and splashes. The foam filled drive tire is puncture proof and non marking, so it will not flatten or scuff finished floors.

How big is the 1065 and how does it arrive?

The tugger body is 25 in long and 24 in wide, a compact footprint for a machine rated to tow 5,000 lb. It ships packed in a 48 by 40 by 60 in crate at about 400 lb, so plan for a way to unload it at your dock.

Do operators need training to use an electric tugger?

Plan on it. OSHA rule 1910.178 covers tractors, motorized hand trucks and other powered industrial trucks, and it requires that only trained and authorized operators use them. Your facility decides how that applies to your team. At minimum, walk each operator through the dead man throttle, the emergency stop and the speed switch before the first run.

Where is the Pony Express 1065 made?

It is built in the USA by EK Tech, with a welded steel frame in a powder coated finish.
