Essex, UK-headquartered Aconda Industrial Carriers, the British engineering company formerly known as Tracked Carriers, has been awarded UK business award, the 2025 King’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation. Aconda says the accolade recognises its work in transforming how heavy loads can be moved in challenging, confined and hazardous environments.
Aconda designs and manufactures a range of battery-powered, remote-controlled tracked carriers. These compact machines can transport up to 4,000kg across terrain where wheels simply can’t go — including mud, gravel, stairs and steep inclines up to 45 degrees. Crucially, they navigate through tight spaces as narrow as 750mm, providing safe and efficient load handling in places traditional equipment “We’re incredibly proud to be one of just 197 organisations to receive the King’s Award for Enterprise,” said Tom Cannon, founder and managing director of Aconda. “This honour reflects the hard work of our team, our dedication to British manufacturing and the game-changing impact our products are having in the field.”
Aconda says is also accelerating its global expansion with new distribution partnerships forming across Europe, Canada and North America. The company is also investing in cutting-edge R&D, working in collaboration to incorporate AI-assisted navigation.
