Performance Heavy Duty Electric Tugs

Your Questions, Answered – FAQs

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. 

Do electric tuggers lift the load off the floor?

No, electric tuggers do not lift the load. They are designed to keep the load safely on the ground, maximizing safety and reducing risk. 

Can you use electric tow tugs outside? 

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

Purpose-built for industrial environments, the Performance range can be used inside, outside and on slopes. 

Can electric tuggers work on slopes?

Yes, our electric tuggers can work safely on slopes. When it comes to electric tuggers and tows, it’s important to understand that for every degree of slope involved, the maximum load capacity of the machine is reduced, just as pushing a car on the level requires less force than on a slope.

Therefore, if the weight of the load is already close to the maximum capacity of the machine, a more powerful machine may be needed to move the load on a slope. We carry out a full evaluation of your application to ensure any machine is suited to your needs.
