The TT-316 tow tractor is a highly maneuverable electric tow tractor with up to 16,000 lb load capacity that competes as an effective alternative to forklifts for horizontal material handling.
Engineered for modern safety, ergonomic comfort and proven reliability in today’s demanding operations, the TT-316 will demonstrate:
Safety is built into every detail of the TT-316. A controlled maximum speed of 6 mph ensures safe operation, while a high-visibility light bar, headlights, taillights and brake lights enhance awareness in busy environments. Key features like the operator presence sensor, emergency shut-off, reverse beeper, and horn provide added layers of protection.
The TT-316 also meets Type E OSHA 1910.178 and ANSI B5 safety standards, making it a reliable choice for workplace compliance and peace of mind.
Designed with the operator in mind, the TT-316 features a spring-loaded, adjustable seat and a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel to accommodate a wide range of operator sizes. A low 10.5” step height allows for easy entry and exit, while front and rear suspension ensure a smooth, stable ride.

The Taylor-Dunn TT-316 Electric Tow Tractor significantly reduces labor requirements compared to forklifts like order pickers, reach trucks, or counterbalance lifts in warehouse and manufacturing operations. The TT-316 Tow Tractor can tow multiple trailers with one operator, while a forklift can only move one pallet at a time with one operator. This material handling efficiency frees up valuable labor for other critical tasks in manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing facilities.
The Taylor-Dunn TT-316 provides superior safety compared to forklifts in several ways. The TT-316 reduces warehouse traffic since one tow tractor can move the same amount of material as several forklifts. This OSHA-compliant tow tractor offers exceptional stability and 360-degree visibility, while forklifts have limited sight lines and elevated centers of gravity that reduce stability. Unlike forklifts, the all-electric TT-316 eliminates risks of fork strikes and hydraulic system injuries.
The Taylor-Dunn TT-316 Tow Tractor costs significantly less to purchase and operate than comparable forklifts. The TT-316 Tow Tractor has minimal maintenance and lower operating costs throughout its lifespan. Customers typically save an average of $20,000 per TT-316 during the 4-year factory warranty period compared to many industrial forklifts, making it an excellent ROI for material handling operations.
