What is Jtec

Jtec is at the forefront of new technology and growth, creating innovative solutions for an evolving material handling industry. In 2010, Jtec's flagship product was born: the CarryMore Tugger Cart System. This impressive Mother/Daughter cart tandem design would make its own reputation by reducing costs for users and improving delivery times to the lines and safety in the workplace. It continues today, in a continually evolving design, as the company's best-selling design. In 2016, Jtec's newest product line was introduced: CarryMatic Autonomous Materials Movement System, which is an electric powered system that allows for hands-free transport of materials working with AGV's and AMR's. Jtec Industries has a robust product catalog with four lines, and we are known for our expertise in cart solutions. With a commitment to quality and innovation, Jtec Industries is a trusted partner for businesses seeking to optimize their material handling processes.
