Compact Tractor Drive That Adds Power When You Need It

Moving heavy loads with cranes can sometimes require more traction than manual movement alone can provide. At the same time, bulky drive systems can add weight and complexity to an operation.

The ATS Mini Tractor Drive was developed to solve this challenge by delivering strong pulling power in a compact, lightweight design.

Weighing only 25 pounds, the ATS is about half the weight of our traditional tractor drives, such as the AT (Air Tractor) or ET (Electric Tractor). Its compact size allows it to be easily carried with one hand, making installation and handling simple for operators.

Despite its small footprint, the ATS provides an impressive draw-bar pull of at least 120 pounds (500 N)—enough traction to move loads of up to one ton.

The ATS Mini Tractor Drive is designed for applications where controlled movement of suspended loads is important.

It can be tuned to run as slowly as 0.05 m/sec, allowing it to match the line speed of systems such as automotive assembly lines. For operations that require faster movement, it can be adjusted to run up to 0.4 m/sec, creating an 8:1 speed range that provides flexibility for different production needs.

This range allows the system to support both precise positioning and efficient movement across the workspace.


Built Around How You Work

For your operation, this means:
– Additional pulling power when needed
– Lightweight equipment that’s easy to handle
– Controlled movement that can match production line speeds
– Flexibility to switch between assisted and manual movement
– Having the option to add traction only when needed helps keep operations efficient and adaptable.

The ATS Mini Tractor Drive was engineered to combine portability, performance, and flexibility.

Its lightweight construction makes it easy to transport and install, while its adjustable speed capability allows it to support a wide range of crane-assisted applications. Because it can be disengaged, the system does not interfere with manual load movement when additional traction is unnecessary.

This balance of power and portability allows the ATS to integrate easily into existing crane systems.

Like all Givens equipment, the ATS Mini Tractor Drive is designed and engineered for dependable industrial use. Its compact size, strong traction capability, and adjustable performance help support controlled material handling in demanding environments.

When reliable load movement and flexibility are important, the ATS provides a practical solution.
