Construction, Mining & Agricultural Electric Tuggers
Maximize production flexibility and reduce TAKT time with heavy-duty electric tuggers. - ideal for construction, mining and agricultural equipment manufacturers.
For machinery manufacturers involved in manufacturing some of the heaviest equipment, material handling can be challenging. Whether it’s tracked excavators or combine harvesters, we help heavy machinery manufacturers move loads such as:
Sub-assemblies & work-in-progress
Booms & arms
Chassis, frames & cabs
Sheet metal & profiles
Power systems, engines & powertrains
Kitting carts
Jigs, tooling & fixtures
Axles, wheels & track units
Electric tugger benefits in heavy plant assembly

Streamlining the movement of heavy loads, electric tuggers create leaner processes and reduce downtime.
Heavy-weight power
Handle the heaviest loads with weight capacities up to 154,000 lbs. and beyond
Increase throughput
Cut wasted time out of your material movement to drive efficiency
Create flexible processes
Move loads just-in-time to unlock agile and flexible processes
Our construction, mining & agricultural tuggers in action
Solutions for today and tomorrow
Moving heavy equipment can slow production. Manufacturers of agricultural, construction, and mining machinery often rely on forklifts, cranes, and winches - leading to bottlenecks and downtime.
To keep production moving and reduce forklift dependency, they’re turning to more flexible solutions like electric tuggers. A range of control options are available to meet every load moving challenge.
Pedestrian operated - a single operator can safely maneuver even the heaviest loads with ease.
Remote control operation - delivers maximum visibility by allowing operators to take up the ideal vantage point when moving large loads.
Automated AGV electric tuggers – unlock fully automated material movements to maximize efficiency, throughput, and labour utilization.
Case study
Terex creates forklift-free processes with heavy-duty electric tuggers
We supported Terex in reducing forklift traffic on their shop floor with our remote-controlled PS3000+ electric tuggers. Enhancing safety and flexibility, the PS3000+ delivers exceptional maneuverability for handling 40,000 lbs. rock-crushing chambers and sub-assemblies.
Global agricultural, construction and mining equipment manufacturing facilities trust MasterMover’s powerful, compact electric tuggers to make the movement of wheeled loads safer and more efficient.
The engineering innovation of the tuggers, which use traction to distribute weight to the machine, is ingenious and means that a single pedestrian operator can move a stillage.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs
What types of control options are available?
Electric tuggers are available with multiple control options designed to maximize safety and efficiency.
Pedestrian operated electric tugs allow a single operator to safely maneuver even the heaviest loads with confidence, removing manual handling and reliance on forklift trucks.
Remote control operation is available to deliver maximum visibility by allowing operators to have the ideal vantage point when moving loads, facilitating the seamless movement of loads in congested areas.
AGV systems remove the need for an operator, automating the movement of heavy loads to maximize efficiency and resource utilization.
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.
