Autonomous tugger trains and cart towing
Tow several carts per trip on long, repetitive supply loops — fewer trips, lower cost per move.
The problem
Manual tuggers need a dedicated driver per route, and lift-based robots carry only one load at a time. On long loops, that means many trips and high cost per move.
How it works
- 1
Hitch
Carts are coupled with a standard or custom hitch; automated hitching is optional.
- 2
Run the route
GT-XT follows the tug route set in GT Studio, stopping at each station.
- 3
Exchange
Full carts are dropped and empties collected along the loop.
What changes on your floor
- Multiple carts per trip
- Indoor and outdoor routes
- No tape or fixed paths
- Smooth starts and controlled braking with loaded carts
