Improving operational efficiency and reducing costs

Airports enjoy predictable and accountable operations. Automation ensures 24/7 operations to support peaks in operations.

Increased safety and reduction in user damage

Auto-DollyTug® can endure the difficult jobs airports ask of personnel. Additionally, the Autonomous Drive System is programmed to follow a set of rules that ensure safety.

Reduced carbon footprint

The Auto-DollyTug® is fully electric. Charging is optimised based on Aurrigo’s software algorithms

About the Auto-DollyTug®

The Auto-DollyTug® is equipped with robotic arms that enable fully autonomous loading and unloading of unit load devices (ULDs), ensuring a seamless, end-to-end operation. Its sideways drive and 360-degree tank turn capabilities, combined with LiDAR sensors and 360-degree cameras, delivers tremendous agility allowing it to navigate safely on a crowded aircraft stand, within a baggage hall and among other roadway traffic, safely.

With its unmatched maneuverability and cutting-edge technology, the Auto-DollyTug® is the most advanced baggage tractor on the market today.
