Safer handling of loads in textile manufacturing
Textiles
Reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders and eliminate manual handling in the movement of heavy products, equipment and materials.
It’s time to rethink manual handling in textile manufacturing
For textile manufacturers, manual handling is often relied on to move heavy loads such as A-frame rolls and reels of fabric and material trolleys.
With heavy weight involved, multiple members of staff are often required to move loads by hand, resulting in the risk of injury, fatigue and reduced productivity.
Textile manufacturers are increasingly looking to fit-for-purpose manual handling solutions to reduce the risk of injury and boost productivity.
Achieve the effortless movement of heavy loads
Empowering a single operator to move even the heaviest loads, electric tugs help textile manufacturers to eliminate manual handling and reduce the risk of injury.
Typically used to facilitate the effortless movement of heavy A-frame rolls of fabric, electric tugs make the movements a one-person job, improving safety and boosting productivity.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs
Yes, electric tugs boast an incredibly compact design which makes them perfect for working in tight spaces and congested production areas.
No, unlike lifting equipment such as forklift trucks and cranes, an electric tug does not require a license to operate. A license-free operation reduces downtime and maximises operational efficiency, reducing wasted time waiting for a licensed driver.
Minimal training is required to safely operate an electric tug and we offer training packages to suit every requirement.
Electric tugs are battery powered, with interchangeable batteries or lithium options available, electric tugs can deliver 24/7 operation to keep your processes moving.
Offering zero emissions from the point of use, electric tugs are ideally suited for indoor use, replacing internal combustion engine (ICE) powered equipment such as forklifts or tow tractors.
A range of coupling options are available across the range that maximise performance, security and safety.
Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications.
