Typical Aerospace Applications

Providing unrivalled manoeuvrability, control and precision, our electric tugs are relied on to move high-value loads with confidence.

Our aerospace material handling solutions are commonly used to move:

  • Aerostructures, wings and composites
  • Turnover jigs, moulds and tooling
  • Aero engines, build stands and fan casings
  • Components, parts and kitting trolleys
  • Mobile work platforms and staging

Things to consider 

With over 25 years of working with the world's largest aerospace manufacturers, we understand the unique challenges and requirements of the industry.

When choosing a material handling solution like an electric tug, here's some things to consider:

  • Weight capacity - how heavy is the load and will this increase in the future?
  • Movement & positioning needs - do you need to move the load in a particular way?
  • Connection point - how will the tug connect to your load? 
  • Control modes - do you want pedestrian operated or would remote control or even AGV be more suitable? 

Our expert team will work with you to fully assess your application, ensuring any solution is 100% suited to your requirements.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

How are electric tugs powered?

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. 

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 tugs and electric tows connect?  

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.   

Can they work on slopes? 

Yes, our electric tugs can work safely on slopes. When it comes to electric tugs, 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 machine’s maximum capacity, 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 that any machine is suited to your needs.
