BEETLE Battery Programmable dual torch welding tractor

BEETLE Battery is a programmable cordless tractor designed for precise and efficient longitudinal welding of steel
bars on the top of metal sections, such as crane beams, girders, I-beams, T-beams, C-profiles or other workpieces.
Its primary application is the welding of crane runways and other steel components with a rectangular cross-section,
where both the width and height are within the range of 30 to 80 mm, to a crane girder or the horizontal surface of
another, larger workpiece. The BEETLE Battery moves on wheels and its path is guided by roller arms, which remain in direct contact with a steel bar located inside the tractor.

  • Battery-powered, programmable tractor for longitudinal welding using a single or dual torches
  • 10 operating modes, with separate torch control allowing for alternating welding on both sides of the beam
  • Operates at speeds from 5 to 130 cm/min for maximum operational versatility
  • Continuous and stitch welding with programmable path
  • The closed-loop speed control system stabilizes travel speed and enables consistent high quality welds
  • 4-wheel drive system with magnetic traction provide secure and stable movement
  • Self-guiding roller arms by eliminating the need for a track saves you setup time and lower investment costs
  • The LiHD CAS battery, supported by intelligent battery management, ensures maximum power availability for an extended period
  • Multi-functional LED display providing oversight of settings for effortless control and confidence at a glance
  • Compact design with durable housing for easy transporting and long-lasting performance in harsh environments
  • 3 years of warranty
