Maximum visibility - the remote control and emergency stop systems enable operators complete freedom of movement around the load which ensures a clear line of sight  

Modular system enabling multi-use - tuggers can be combined to work together as a team to move heavy loads and then deployed individually to move lighter ones. This modular design has the added benefit of removing a single point of failure in the load-handling system. 

Multidirectional movement with total control – discover total freedom of movement and maneuverability, ideal for moving awkwardly shaped loads such as wind turbine blades. 

Flexible configurations - Modular system enables machines to be positioned at optimal points around an awkwardly shaped load. This method applies force exactly where it's needed and avoids accidental damage to sensitive loads. 

Things to consider 

Heavy, awkward, and large loads can make finding the right material handling equipment challenging. With over two decades of experience supporting leading wind turbine manufacturers, we offer solutions tailored to even the world's longest blades. 

  • Weight capacity - Ensure equipment can handle current and future load requirements.
  • Precision control - High-value loads demand careful handling. Look for solutions that keep the load fully under control.
  • Maneuverability - For large, awkward loads like 328ft+ turbine blades, you’ll need a solution that allows precise positioning and rotation, often only achieved through tandem movements.
  • Custom engineering - Complex industries like wind often require tailored solutions. Partner with an experienced supplier with a proven track record. 

Our expertise can help you find the right fit for your operations.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

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.  

Can they be used outside? 

Yes, MasterMover electric tow tugs can be used outside. Built with durability in mind, our electric tugs deliver consistent traction and performance on uneven surfaces and rough floors.  

How do electric tuggers and electric tows connect?   

A range of coupling options is available across the range that maximize performance, security and safety.

Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications.
