Drive Tractor

Drive Tractors are the backbone of material handling in heavy-duty industries and at Stewart Engineering, we’re proud to offer these machines that are designed for rugged dependability and minimum maintenance. Our Drive Tractors are engineered with quality components and built to meet the demands of a variety of applications, from 4 ton capacity tandem charging hoists to 5 ton capacity hot metal hoists.

One of the key features of our Drive Tractors is the spring-loaded 12-inch diameter drive tire that provides the traction necessary to handle even the most challenging loads. The two reduction helical gears are housed in an oil bath cast iron gear case, which eliminates the need for lubrication and protects against wear and tear. This design also eliminates any exposed gears or chains, ensuring long-lasting durability.

The motors used in our Drive Tractors are ten V class F insulated, 30-minute rated, and equipped with thermal detectors in the motor windings to ensure reliable performance. With horsepower ratings ranging from 1/3 to 1 HP and the option for single or two-speed motors, these machines are designed to meet the requirements of even the most demanding applications. The adjustable torque magnetic disc brake provides smooth and controlled stops, while the swivel trolleys with side guide rollers allow for easy maneuvering and positioning.
