Creating safer material handling processes in dairy production and processing

Dairy

Q: "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. "

Q: "Is an operator license or training required? "

"No, electric tugs do not require a license to operate. A license-free operation makes electric tugs an attractive option for food manufacturers looking to streamline the movement of loads and improve safety. Minimal training is required to safely operate an electric tug and we offer training packages to suit every requirement. "

Q: "How are electric tugs powered? "

"Electric tugs are battery powered, with interchangeable batteries or lithium options available, electric tugs can deliver 24/7 operation to keep your processes moving. Offering zero emissions from the point of use, electric tugs are ideally suited for indoor use."

Q: "How do electric tugs connect? "

"A range of coupling options are available across the range that maximise performance, security and safety. Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications. "

Electric tugs eliminate manual handling and drive operational efficiency in dairy processing facilities.

Manual handling risks and inefficiencies

With high production rates, dairy processing operations are under pressure to optimise their material handling processes. Automated lines are often used within production, but once bottles and cartons of milk, or other completed products, are off the line and loaded into roll cages and other platforms, staff typically have to manually move them.

Manually moving individual loaded cages, or nested empty cages within dairy processing presents the risk of injury and lowers productivity, leading many facilities to look for a better solution…
