Overview

Side view of EK Tech Pony Express Electric Powered AC Tugger 25K Plus highlighting long yellow body and black control tiller

The Pony Express AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium tows up to 25,000 lb on casters and up to 100,000 lb on rails. This top of line model swaps the standard AGM pack for a 48 VDC, 120 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery that charges in about 90 minutes and supports a fast swap connector for multi-shift work.

The Pony Express AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium is the highest capacity tugger in the Electro Kinetic Technologies line, built to move heavy carts and loads up to 25,000 lb on casters and up to 100,000 lb on rails. This lithium configuration replaces the standard AGM pack with a 48 VDC, 120 Ah lithium iron phosphate battery for faster charging, longer service life and a quick swap connector for multi-shift operations. The welded steel frame and powder coat finish are built in the USA for demanding warehouse, manufacturing and distribution floors.

Power comes from a 48V AC, 1.7 kW transaxle with AC Vector Power technology, which delivers strong torque across the full speed range rather than tapering off like traditional DC drives. The operator controls speed from 0 to 1.5 mph in low and 0 to 3.0 mph in high, with regenerative braking and an electromagnetic automatic holding brake for safe handling on inclines. A single charge supports up to 8 hours of operation and the external certified charger brings the pack back to full in about 90 minutes.

The lithium battery is the key upgrade over the AGM model. It charges far faster, lasts many times longer than lead based chemistries and supports a fast swap so a charged pack can be dropped in without downtime. A built in monitoring system with Bluetooth pairs to a smartphone app so operators and managers can track state of charge, consumed amp-hours and voltage, with visual and audible alerts when it is time to recharge.

Documents

How much can the AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium pull?

It moves loads up to 25,000 lb on carts riding on casters and up to 100,000 lb when the load runs on rails. That makes it the highest capacity tugger in the Pony Express line. Match it to your heaviest loaded cart rather than the average load, since floor condition and slope cut usable capacity.

What is the difference between the lithium and AGM versions of the AC Tugger 25K+?

The standard AC Tugger 25K+ ships with a 48 VDC, 100 Ah AGM battery. This lithium model uses a 48 VDC, 120 Ah lithium iron phosphate pack that charges faster, lasts many times longer than lead based batteries and has a fast swap connector, so a charged pack can go in without downtime on multi shift work.

How long does the AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium battery last and how fast does it charge?

A full charge supports up to 8 hours of operation. The external certified charger brings the 120 Ah lithium pack back to full in about 90 minutes. For round the clock work, the fast swap connector lets the operator drop in a charged pack instead of waiting.

Can I monitor the AC Tugger 25K+ battery from a phone?

Yes. A built in monitoring system pairs over Bluetooth with a smartphone app that shows state of charge, consumed amp hours and voltage. The tugger also gives visual and audible alerts when it is time to recharge. The app is for battery monitoring, not for driving the tugger.

What drives the AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium?

Power comes from a 48V AC, 1.7 kW transaxle with AC Vector Power technology. EK Tech uses it because it holds strong torque across the full speed range, which matters when starting and moving very heavy loads.

How fast does the AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium go, and how does it brake?

The operator controls speed from 0 to 1.5 mph in low and 0 to 3 mph in high. Regenerative braking slows the load, and an electromagnetic automatic holding brake keeps it from rolling on inclines.

How big is the AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium?

The tugger is 52 in long and 30 in wide. Measure your tightest aisle, door and turn with that footprint plus your towed cart before you choose a model, since the smaller Pony Express lithium tuggers cover lighter loads.

Where is the AC Tugger 25K+ Lithium made?

It is built in the USA by Electro Kinetic Technologies, with a welded steel frame in a powder coated finish for warehouse, manufacturing and distribution floors.

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 speed controls, the low and high ranges and the battery swap before the first run.
