EK Tech Electric Tuggers and Motorized Carts

About EK Tech Pony Express Equipment

EK Tech, short for Electro Kinetic Technologies, builds powered material handling equipment in the United States. Every Pony Express unit rides on a welded steel frame with a powder coat finish, and EK Tech covers that frame with a 2-year manufacturer warranty. The company also offers a 21-day demo program, so a facility can test a unit on its own floors and ramps before buying. Running more than one shift? Look at the lithium tuggers with swappable batteries.

Motorized platform carts like the Pony Express 1031 motorized platform cart for loads up to 2,000 lbs carry material on their own deck. Walk-behind electric tuggers like the Pony Express 1061-HD electric powered tugger hitch to wheeled carts and pull them as a train. Specialty models cover narrow jobs, from the 1031-SM01 motorized mailroom cart to the motorized medical gas cylinder cart built for hospitals. EK Tech also builds transfer, die, long deck and medical carts to order.

Our Pick for Most Facilities

The Pony Express 1065 Electric Powered Tugger for loads up to 5,000 lbs is the model we point most buyers to first. A 5,000 lb pull rating covers typical cart trains in hospitals, commercial laundries, and warehouses. The same family steps up to the Pony Express 1065-HD for loads up to 6,500 lbs and the Pony Express 1065-XHD for loads up to 7,500 lbs, so a facility can size up when its cart trains grow.

The 1065 is a walk-behind machine, so the operator paces the load instead of riding. It only moves loads that roll on their own wheels. If your daily loads stay under 4,000 lbs and need a carrying deck, the Pony Express 1032 heavy duty motorized platform cart is the simpler buy. Call our team before ordering and we will check the fit against your ramps, door widths, and cart hardware.

How to Choose EK Tech Equipment

Do I need a platform cart or a tugger?

Pick a platform cart when the load rides on the machine itself. The deck models carry boxes, parts, and equipment with no extra hardware. Pick a tugger when your building already moves material on wheeled carts. A tugger hitches to those carts and pulls several at once, which saves trips on long corridor runs.

How much pull capacity do I need?

Weigh the heaviest cart train your crew will ever hook up, not the average one. The Pony Express 1065 family is rated at 5,000, 6,500, and 7,500 lbs, and the Pony Express AC Tugger 25K+ handles loads above that range. Ramps raise the effective load, so tell us about any grades when you call.

Can I try a unit before buying?

Yes. EK Tech offers a 21-day demo program on its equipment. Heavy Duty Mobility is an authorized EK Tech dealer, so you also get the full manufacturer warranty and a price match guarantee on every unit.
