Product Details

The Mother Cart – Pass Through TCHA-20 (Tugger, Center-Steer, H-Frame, “A” Size) is part of our CarryMore system. It features our patented, fully mechanical lift technology, lifting the daughter carts completely off the ground during transport. The ‘H’ frame is designed to be loaded and unloaded from either side of the aisle, making this design ideal when aisles are tight and lineside space is a premium.

 

The center-steer (diamond orientation) caster positions allows for 2 rigid casters in the center and spring loaded swivel casters centered on both ends. The spring casters allow for continuous ground contact, reducing noise and caster flutter. These premium casters help easily tug up to 2000 lb. Carts are easily connected to a standard 2″ ball hitch, which creates a quiet, smooth, and consistent following path.

FAQs

The TCHA-20 Pass-Through Mother Cart can tug loads weighing up to 2,000 pounds. This capacity includes the daughter cart and its payload. The load should be properly distributed and remain within the cart’s rated capacity throughout loading, towing, and unloading.

Its H-frame allows a compatible daughter cart to be loaded or unloaded from either side of the aisle. This pass-through capability eliminates the need to turn the mother cart around or approach it from only one direction, making it useful where aisle width and line-side space are limited.

The fully mechanical Elemate 2.0 system engages the daughter cart and lifts it completely off the floor for transport. A dual center-latch design secures the cart within the H-frame. Because the daughter-cart casters do not contact the floor while moving, the mother cart controls its tracking through the tugger route.

The center-steer arrangement uses two rigid casters positioned in the center and spring-loaded swivel casters centered at both ends. The spring-loaded casters maintain continuous floor contact, helping reduce noise and caster flutter. This diamond-pattern arrangement supports controlled movement while keeping the H-frame open for pass-through loading.

The TCHA-20 is an A-Size CarryMore mother cart. The product page identifies compatible 50″ × 50″ and 34″ × 34″ flatbed daughter carts. Final compatibility depends on the daughter cart’s overall dimensions, frame geometry, weight, and Elemate 2.0 engagement features.

The carts connect to the tugger train through a standard 2-inch ball hitch, providing a smooth and consistent following path. The appropriate train configuration depends on tow-vehicle capacity, combined cart and payload weight, number of carts, route geometry, floor conditions, and stopping requirements.
