Precise tracking during all driving maneuvers

The Clark trailers are designed to be very slim and robust. This makes the tugger train extremely compact and the operator has a good overview. However, the perfect directional stability of the tugger train is particularly noteworthy. This is guaranteed by the electrically steered wheels in the rear axle module: One trailer follows the other exactly in one lane both on a straight track and when cornering. As a result, the tugger train requires a small traffic area and can be used safely even in the tightest of spaces. 

The CTR01 only requires an aisle width of 2000 mm for a 90° curve (with corner chamfer of 2 x 45° / 500 mm and without encountering traffic). For the CTR02, the minimum aisle width required for a 90° curve under the same conditions is 2500 mm. The aisle width for a 180° curve (U-turn) is 4500 mm for the CTR01 and 5500 mm for the CTR02. 

The Clark tugger train is available as an all-in-one solution. It consists of the Clark CTX40-70 towing tractor and the CTR01 and CTR02 trailers

High flexibility in trailer selection 

The heart of the modular tugger train system is the autonomous electric steering system. This is not only maintenance-free, but also offers the advantage that it uses sensor information measured directly at the axle. Mechanical, hydraulic or electric steering information is not routed via the trailers and therefore does not have to be taken into account in the design of the load modules. The modular system allows free configurability with virtually no design restrictions. This means that individual customer requirements can be taken into account. The customer can easily exchange trailers via a standardized interface. This has the advantage that different trailers can also be combined to form a tugger train. 

The electric lifting system of the trailers is low maintenance and has a lifting height of 60 mm

Powerful and agile draft horses 

The tugger train is led by the Clark towing tractors of the CTX series. Thanks to their compact design and good maneuverability, they are the ideal towing vehicles for tugger train systems. The robust tow tractors have very good pulling power and, thanks to powerful 48-volt AC traction motors, high thrust. The low-maintenance drive system has been designed for the toughest applications with quiet operation. The ergonomic driver's workplace leaves nothing to be desired. The driver can easily get on and off this truck from both sides. The workplace itself offers plenty of legroom, an automotive-style pedal arrangement and generous storage compartments. Low vibration levels and a minimal noise level during operation guarantee comfortable and safe driving. Up to 20 performance parameters are individually programmable on the CTX, including acceleration, creep function, and regenerative braking, to tailor driving performance to the operator's requirements. Numerous options, such as a bracket with warning light, a comfortable driver's cab or the coupling/uncoupling aid ensure that the vehicle can be optimally adapted to the requirement profile of the operation. 

The trolleys can be loaded on both sides and pushed into the frame's lifting system without much effort. The operator can walk through the frame to get to the other side of the trailer
