When heavy trailers or custom trolleys need to move through tight aisles, manual pushing quickly becomes slow and risky. The Zallys R8 is a compact, four-wheel-drive (4×4) electric tug designed for day-to-day internal logistics indoors and outdoors, with towing capacity up to 3,000 kg.
Five-step speed control on the handle lets the operator match the pace to the task, with a top speed of 3 km/h for safe manoeuvring at walking speed on ramps, in loading areas and between production cells. A 200 Ah AGM battery pack provides long operating time (up to 10 hours per charge, duty-cycle dependent), and the powder-coated steel frame is built for continuous industrial use.
All Zallys products are manufactured in Italy in accordance with current CE requirements.

If you regularly need to move heavy trailers, roll cages or custom jigs, the biggest bottleneck is rarely the load itself. The Zallys R8 is built for exactly these situations: a compact 4×4 electric tug (electric tow tug) with up to 3,000 kg towing capacity, made to keep wheeled loads moving smoothly while the operator stays in control.
The Zallys R8 is a multi-purpose, pedestrian-operated electric tug for internal transport where a forklift is either unnecessary, impractical, or simply cannot reach. Typical loads include trailers and special-purpose carts, pallet dollies, roll containers, and custom jig trolleys moving between workstations, loading bays and storage areas.
Because the R8 is intended for controlled low-speed towing, it helps keep movements calm and predictable in busy environments where pedestrians, tight turns and frequent stops are part of normal daily work.
Where many walk-behind movers struggle is traction. The R8 uses a four-wheel-drive (4×4) drivetrain with two driven axles to maintain grip on demanding surfaces. In practice, this means confident towing on wet concrete, epoxy-coated floors and yard ramps where wheels can otherwise spin and steering becomes unpredictable. Better traction also improves control when stopping and lining up.
Speed is not only about throughput, it is also about safety and consistency. The Zallys R8 electric tug features five selectable speed settings from the handle, so the operator can choose a slower setting for narrow aisles and a higher setting for clear travel routes. The top speed is 3 km/h, keeping movements at a practical walking pace for indoor work and ramps.
This stepped control is especially useful when moving between zones: from a wide corridor into a tight aisle, onto a loading ramp, or past workstations where visibility can be limited. Instead of constantly adjusting with small inputs, the operator can select the right speed range and focus on clearance and steering.
High towing capacity often comes with bulk, but the R8 is designed to stay compact and agile. Even with a substantial load behind it, the narrow body helps the unit turn and operate in aisles under two metres wide. That makes it a strong option for factory layouts with production islands, assembly cells and staging areas where space is always at a premium.
The Zallys R8 electric tug is equipped with a 200 Ah battery pack using long-life AGM batteries. This supports extended runtime and stable performance in continuous industrial use. In typical operation, working time is up to 10 hours per charge, depending on load, surface conditions and duty cycle.
AGM batteries are widely used in industrial equipment because they are robust and designed for long service life. For sites that run repeatable tow routes throughout a shift, a consistent battery setup keeps planning straightforward: charge, deploy, and keep the transport flow moving.
In warehouses and production areas, equipment takes knocks, and it is often exposed to dust, moisture and occasional chemical splashes. The Zallys R8 uses a powder-coated steel frame with a protective RAL finish designed to withstand everyday impacts and harsh environments. The electronics are splash protected, and the service panel opens quickly for battery and control-unit checks.
