Can electric tugs push and pull heavy cages? 

Yes, with an expansive range of electric tugs available, our machines can push, pull and steer loads with total control. 

Dairy processing facilities use our SmartMover range to move individual heavy roll cages, maximising safety and offering powerful capabilities to move loads securely on slopes. 

For the movement of nested roll cages in the dairy industry, our AllTerrain range is a popular choice, allowing a single operator to move long trains of nested cages, maximising efficiency.

An optional remote control is also available, allowing the operator to guide and monitor the movement from the front of the cages, delivering total visibility and safety.
