Two material handling machines featuring integrated lithium power supplies are now available from Big Joe. The RPL44 rider pallet truck and PTT60 pedestrian tow tractor feature compact chassis designs and power steering that support operations in material handling applications. These new additions to the Big Joe line-up include onboard 120V AC chargers and several attributes that address today’s common material handling challenges, while including support for future autonomous development.

Big Joe RPL44 Rider Pallet Truck

The Big Joe RPL44 has a 24V AC drive motor, capable of transporting pallets weighing up to 4,400 lbs. at speeds up to 5 miles per hour. This vehicle can operate in congested areas facilitated by a 205 ah lithium battery and 120V AC opportunity charger. The vehicle’s low-profile forks ensures pallet entry and exit. In support of this feature, the RPL44’s split load wheel configuration reduces thermal wear. Standard features include electronic power steering, a battery discharge indicator, hour meter and key switch with optional fork sizes being available for operations moving beverage or other specialty pallets. 

Big Joe PTT60 Pedestrian Tow Tractor

The Big Joe PTT60 pedestrian tow tractor features electronic power steering to put 6,000 lbs. of control towing capacity in the palm of your hand. Its compact size maneuvers through aisles or around machinery and represents a safe option for congested areas where people are working when compared to ride-on machines. The PTT60 has an onboard lithium power supply and integrated 120V AC opportunity charger. An optional 240V external charger is available to support longer duty cycles. This machine is equipped with a hydraulically powered hitch that comes complete with a standard pin style connector with both custom and optional hitch tools available to support the needs of most users. Standard features include an hour meter, key switch, dual butterfly controls for infinitely variable speed control and horn.  

“These new purpose-built lithium machines couldn’t be better timed to meet the needs of our customers”, said Bill Pedriana, chief marketing officer of Big Joe.

“Across the board we see continuing trends in material handling to move from human power to electric, walkies to riders and riders to autonomous machines.  These compact machines with all their capability stand as great examples of how new technologies can help us create new form factors that help empower workers and drive operational efficiency for all sorts of operations both big and small.”
