Electric Tugger Pricing

A smooth, good-condition floor reduces rolling resistance. The floor condition and material influence the force needed to move a load and a machine’s ability to gain traction.

The configuration, quantity and quality of castor wheels impact the force needed from an electric tugger to move the load.

Moving a heavy wheeled load up or down an incline has a greater rolling resistance than moving a load on the flat. A simple rule of thumb, the steeper the slope, the more powerful the electric tugger needs to be.

Standard electric tuggers are manufactured with a mild-steel construction, suitable to work in most manufacturing environments. However, for specialist environments requiring specific levels of cleanliness or corrosion-resistant materials, stainless steel is often a preferred material of construction.

IP rating is another area where specific needs often influence pricing and electric tugger design.

Increased IP ratings for liquid and dust protection are available.

For environments that have potentially explosive atmospheres, additional environmental protection is required to protect the equipment against potentially flammable gases or combustible dust.

Utilizing Remote Control options offers a range of benefits.

Remote Control capability is available via two options – Basic or Full

An addition to the Remote Control of a single machine, our MultiLink technology facilitates the use of multiple electric tuggers, working in sync under the control of a single operator.

This technology ensures an electric tugger follows a line on the floor, delivering highly accurate repeated movement between points.

Line Following capability is available via two options – Remote Operator Control or AGV.

Navigation technology ensures the machine travels between destinations, interacting with your environment as required to take into account ideal routes, other machines, and operational factors.

MasterMover electric tuggers and tows are available with various battery options, including lithium.

The specifics of your application will dictate what battery and charger are needed and whether spare batteries are required if you need continuous operation and fast turn-around times.

Whilst MasterMover electric tuggers are packed with safety features as standard, such as emergency stop buttons and anti-crush mechanisms there are several additional safety options available.

These include audible and visual alert systems, enhanced speed control functionality and secondary remote-control units for emergency stops.
