When standard tractor configurations are not sufficient, SATURN designs and builds custom drive tractors engineered around your capacity, speed, track geometry, and operating environment. From extra heavy-duty T-200 units to slip-free positive-drive designs and clutch-engage options, our custom tractors deliver application-specific performance for demanding monorail and crane systems.
Explore the examples below to see how SATURN solves unique travel requirements with purpose-built tractor solutions.
With a custom design, our Extra Heavy-Duty T-200 Units are built primarily for higher capacity or speed, as well as incline applications. Also, the 2HP and 5HP units can be customized to accommodate for specific work environments. Learn more about the modifications below.

For environments that require high draw bar pulls or severe work environments that can cause a standard tensioned drive tractor to slip, we offer Positive Drive (PD) Tractors. These slip-free units are excellent for precise load positioning or pulling a load up an incline.

Our Clutch-Engage Tractor allows the tractor to be manually pushed along its monorail. With a sprocket clutch that engages our typical mechanical drive (motor/reducer), the tractor can be easily pulled when the clutch is not engaged.
