Tractor trolley innovation creates jobs
A Chandigarh maker, Jaildar Industry, demonstrated a trolley system that lets one tractor do work that previously required six to seven trips, creating 150–250 direct and indirect jobs and spawning local vendor activity. The development shows field‑level engineering innovations reshaping tractor logistics and parts demand. (x.com)
A farm trailer maker in Punjab says its redesigned trolley lets one tractor haul loads that used to take six or seven trips. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) The company is Zaildar Innovation, run by Malkit Singh and his brother from Hyatpur Kotli near Mukerian in Punjab, according to a Chandigarh edition report published April 11, 2026. Malkit told reporters the product has a two-year waiting time and sells for about 650,000 to 700,000 rupees. (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) The trolley uses a power take-off system, the spinning shaft on a tractor that transfers engine power to attached equipment. Zaildar Innovation’s own channel describes its products as PTO trolleys and shows factory visits, service videos, and load tests from its Punjab workshop. (mahindratractor.com) (youtube.com) That matters in Indian farming because tractors are already used for hauling as well as field work, and small changes to attachments can change how much one machine gets done in a day. India’s farm ministry says agriculture and allied activities accounted for 18.4% of gross value added in 2022-23, keeping demand high for equipment that saves labor and time. (agriwelfare.gov.in) Punjab is one of India’s most mechanized farm states, with heavy use of tractors in grain-growing districts and short harvest windows that reward faster transport from field to road. Government crop data show Punjab remains one of the country’s top producers of rice, which helps explain why local fabricators can find a market for specialized haulage gear. (upag.gov.in) (agriwelfare.gov.in) The company’s public videos suggest the pitch is not a new tractor, but a new way to use the tractor a farmer already owns. Several clips highlight lower-horsepower tractors, double-axle layouts, and full-load demonstrations meant to show how one unit can carry more without adding another engine. (youtube.com) (timesofindia.indiatimes.com) The business around that kind of product extends beyond the workshop floor. IndiaMART listings tied to Zaildaar Innovation show it sells double-axle tractor trolleys and related farm transport equipment from Punjab, pointing to a supplier network around fabrication, tires, axles, hydraulics, and repair. (indiamart.com) The recent attention on the company came through a political dispute over payment for one trolley, not through a government award or a corporate launch. But the reporting and the company’s own material point to the same thing: a village manufacturer built a niche product, found demand, and turned a tractor attachment into a local industry.
