Large reels make positioning and movement a challenge
For cable and wire manufacturers, moving heavy cable drums and large cable reels in tight production environments can be challenging.
Overhead cranes are often used to transport cable reels through production, but as with any fixed system, this can be inflexible, decreasing operational efficiency, and any failure causes production to stop.
For other movements, large forklifts are often used to move cable drums, presenting safety risks in congested production environments, poor visibility and the risk of collisions.
Cable drum handling equipment for safer operations
Empowering a single operator to move even the heaviest reels and drums, electric tuggers help cable manufacturers reduce risk and improve safety in moving loads in congested internal production environments.
Boasting secure load connections and unrivaled visibility, electric tuggers provide a safer solution for cable drum movements, even in tight spaces.
The benefits of electric tuggers in cable and wire reel handling
Electric tuggers deliver the safe movement of heavy cable drums and reels, maximizing operator safety.
With compact electric tuggers, a single operator can safely maneuver large cable reels in even the tightest of areas, with total control and precision.
The controlled movement of heavy cable drums and reels with electric tuggers – but with the added benefit of remote control operation.
Remote control operation enables operators to stand away from the load and have an ideal vantage point, unlocking greater visibility and allowing operators to maintain a safe distance from loads.
Trusted by leading cable and wire reel manufacturers
MasterMover electric tuggers are trusted to deliver the controlled movement of heavy cable reels across telecommunications, construction and energy – maximizing safety and improving efficiency.
Our components are precisely balanced and, when these were being moved with a forklift truck with a limited turning circle, it was proving difficult. Now we can move the loads safely and easily while keeping components at ground level.
Your Questions, Answered - FAQs
Is an operator license or training required?
No, unlike lifting equipment such as forklift trucks and cranes, an electric tugger does not require a license to operate. A license-free operation reduces downtime and maximizes operational efficiency, reducing wasted time waiting for a licensed driver.
Minimal training is required to safely operate an electric tugger and we offer training packages to suit every requirement.
How are electric tuggers powered?
Electric tuggers are battery-powered, with interchangeable batteries or lithium options available, electric tuggers can deliver 24/7 operation to keep your processes moving.
Offering zero emissions from the point of use, electric tuggers are ideally suited for indoor use, replacing internal combustion engine powered equipment such as forklifts or tow tractors.
How do electric tuggers connect?
A range of coupling options is available across the range that maximizes performance, security and safety.
Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications.
