2 MasterTugs moving a piece of oil & gas equipment

Heavy-duty solutions for hazardous environments

Within the oil and gas industry, finding robust material handling solutions can be a challenge. Heavy, high-value equipment needs to be moved with precision to avoid costly damage, leading many global companies to choose MasterMover electric tugs. 

Available to ATEX and IECEx standards, electric tugs deliver the controlled movement of loads weighing 70,000kg and beyond, whilst adhering to the strict regulations of potentially explosive and hazardous environments. 

Push, pull and manoeuvre with confidence

Electric tugs enable your operators to safely control heavy-wheeled loads, reducing reliance on traditional material handling equipment.

Compact and powerful, a single operator can precisely move heavy loads weighing over 70,000kg with complete control, reducing the risk of damage and maximising safety.  

Maximise your control 

Space limitations and large equipment can make moving loads challenging.

Compact electric tugs enable the precise positioning of loads in tight areas.

Electric tugs are used by oil and gas manufacturers to improve safety and efficiency when moving loads such as: 

  • Subsea trees
  • ROVs
  • Pipes & pumps
  • Machines sub-assemblies
  • Valves and wellhead equipment
  • Umbilical cables
Are electric tugs available to meet ATEX and IECEx standards? 

Yes, all of our electric tugs can be converted to meet ATEX standards. Our electric tugs can be converted to operate in zones 1 and 2 (gaseous explosive environments) and zones 21 and 22 (powder or dust explosive environments) to meet ATEX and IECEx standards.

Working with best-in-class explosion-proofing providers, MasterMover ATEX electric tow tugs can safely work in hazardous environments, allowing you to maximise workplace safety and efficiency. 

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.  

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.
