A vital piece of equipment when improving Workplace Health and Safety procedures, they are strong enough to tow a range of goods, including carts, trolleys and equipment. Some common applications include delivering stock inside shopping centres, moving trolleys and equipment around narrow hospital corridors and moving goods around factories.

Using a Powered Tug can help your staff maximise their productivity, simplify their processes and comfortably complete tasks efficiently. All units are battery powered, which means they operate quietly and with zero emissions. Available in a range of models, these tugs can be customised as per your requirements.

Also known as electric tugs, electro tugs and electric load pullers, our Powered Electrodrive Tugs allow you to move up to 20,000 kilograms of equipment. They are specifically designed to allow for single operation, whereby a user can move heavy loads safely by towing said load with the powered device.  With Powered Electrodrive Tugs it’s all about the ergonomics as the unit reduces any potential pushing or pulling strains that may have occurred without the device.

A number of models available!
