Aethon TUG T3

Our Verdict: The proven heavy-lifter of hospital logistics. Reliable autonomous transport at scale.

The Aethon TUG T3 is a heavy-duty autonomous mobile robot built for the demanding material transport needs of large hospitals. It moves carts loaded with meals, linens, medications, waste, and supplies between departments, kitchens, pharmacies, and loading docks — all without human guidance.

With a 600 lb cart-pulling capacity and robust navigation that handles doors, elevators, and crowded corridors, the TUG T3 is the workhorse of hospital logistics. Fleet management software optimizes routes and schedules across multiple TUG units, ensuring continuous material flow throughout the facility.
