Description

Caterpillar Towing Tractor NTS30Q | 3 ton

The Caterpillar NTS30Q is a 3-ton electric sit-on towing tractor part of Cat’s “EQ Line.” This series is specifically designed for high-efficiency warehouse and industrial applications, balancing heavy-duty performance with the lower maintenance requirements of modern Lithium-ion technology.
Below are the key specifications and features for this model.

Technical Specifications

Feature Specification.

Key Features & Performance

Rugged Versatility: Built for both indoor and outdoor use.2 It features a high ground clearance to handle bumps, ramps, and rougher yard surfaces that would challenge standard warehouse tugs.

lass=”yoast-text-mark” />>Li-ion Efficiency: The EQ Line uses maintenance-free Lithium-ion batteries, which support opportunity charging.4 This allows operators to plug in during breaks to extend runtime without the need for a secondary battery.

Regenerative Braking: Recycles energy back into the battery during deceleration, extending runtime and reducing wear on the mechanical brake components.

Typical Applications

Automotive: Moving parts and “milk-run” logistics between production lines.
Airports/Logistics: Transporting luggage carts or high-volume freight across large facilities.
Warehousing: Towing heavy trailer trains in “just-in-time” (JIT) delivery environments.
Note: If you are comparing this to other Cat models, the NTR30N2 is a similar 3-ton tractor but typically comes in a stand-on configuration, whereas the NTS30Q is the sit-on entry from the EQ Line.
