German manufacturer Still is noting growing demand for tugger trains.

It has seen more companies recognising the potential of tugger train solutions and lean production without stacker trucks, with tugger trains bringing efficiency into intralogistics materials transport.

To meet this growing demand, Still has added a series of standardised rack trolleys with various equipment options for its LiftRunner system.

The range has also been extended with the addition of the Still TrolleyMover 4W 15 battery-operated four-way lift truck, designed to load and unload LiftRunner frames.

The TrolleyMover is designed for loads up to 1.5 T, and enables ergonomic, space-saving load handling due to its easy manoeuvrability in all four driving directions. It allows even heavy trolleys to be pushed into tugger train trailer frames without any manual effort.

Herbert A. Fischer, head of the tugger train business segment, explains: "In the past, long-term manual handling of heavy trolleys involved considerable manual effort. We have launched onto the market the TrolleyMover 4W 15, an entirely new tiller machine that simplifies tugger train loading/unloading. The machine shows its advantages in easy manoeuvrability and in the space-saving transport and handling of long goods, e.g. in a production operation or loading bay."
