Choosing an IC Tow Tractor
Internal-combustion tow tractors provide engine-powered towing for suitable outdoor industrial and yard applications. They can be considered where operating patterns favour refuelling over battery charging.
Check the full trailer train weight, route gradients and fuel arrangements before selecting a model. Surface conditions, ventilation and coupling compatibility are also important.
Before you choose, check:
- Total towed weight and trailer count
- Gradients and surface conditions
- Fuel type and refuelling arrangements
- Ventilation and emissions restrictions
- Coupling compatibility and turning space
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you speak with the team.
Do operators need a licence to drive an IC tow tractor?
There is no high risk work licence class for tow tractors, whether electric or engine powered, since they tow trailers instead of lifting with a mast. Your business must still train operators on the specific IC tow tractor, its towing limits and your site's traffic routes, and manage the risks of powered mobile plant under WHS law. Check current requirements with SafeWork NSW, WorkSafe Queensland or WorkSafe WA.
When is an electric tow tractor the better choice?
Electric tow tractors produce no exhaust at the machine, so they suit enclosed warehouses, production halls and noise-sensitive areas where an LPG or diesel unit would need ventilation. If most of your towing route runs indoors, compare the electric tow tractors before deciding.
