Our custom engineering process
Concept
We’ll understand your application and requirements. We’re solution providers by nature, so our engineers will look to understand your aims and weigh up different options.
After understanding your objectives, we’ll gather technical information on your requirements and conceptualize a solution.
Design
At this stage, our engineers dig into the design to take the concept and transform it into a detailed design to your specification.
If there is additional information required at this point, we’ll liaise with you to make sure any design is accurate and fit your requirements.
Build & testing
Taking a design and making it come to life. Our engineers will build the custom solution and rigorously test and quality assess it, making sure it meets the specification laid out.
Integration
The final stage of the process is integrating the solution into your process, whether it’s a custom coupling or a turnkey solution using a custom machine.
Typical design services
Movement study
We can provide a movement study to understand the space required to move your load using an electric tugger.
Whether it’s mapping out tight corners or corridor space, our engineers will use the dimensions of your environment and load to provide accurate information.
Turning confirmation
Often complementing a movement study, our turning confirmations map out the turning radius of a load and machine.
For example, how certain wheel configurations influence the positioning of loads.
Slope calculation
If you’re moving a load on a slope, we’ll always use the maximum gradient, environmental conditions and load weight to calculate the force needed to move, stop and restart a movement on a slope, ensuring any machine specified is powerful enough.

- Machines rated to unique environments/conditions such as ATEX/IECEx
Our Custom Engineering offering covers a wide range, whether you require a custom coupling to connect to a number of carts, a custom IP-rated machine to withstand a particularly wet environment or the creation and design of an entirely custom machine – we’re here to help.
We follow a tried-and-tested approach to specifying an electric tugger for your application where we collect information on the maximum load weight, environment and route you need your electric tugger to work on.
From there, our engineers will calculate the most suitable electric tugger solution for your needs and identify if any custom modifications are required.
We gather a lot of information about your application, but why? Specifying an electric tugger that is fit for purpose and will deliver tangible safety and efficiency benefits right out of the box is critical to us – especially when that solution is non-standard.
An array of factors influence the specification, performance and price of an electric tugger and we need to understand them to ensure any solution is right for your application.
Collecting this information and conducting a full assessment ensures any custom design is fit-for-purpose and maximizes performance.
Yes, we can. We have a proven track record of creating entirely new custom solutions for our customers. This can often include designing and manufacturing:
We use a staged project management approach to guarantee the successful design and installation of custom solutions. Key stages begin and end with customer reviews and sign-off to ensure continued focus on delivering on time, on budget and as specified.
