Typical wind energy applications 

Global wind turbine manufacturers trust our solutions to deliver maximum control and manoeuvrability when moving loads like:

  • Wind turbine blades (offshore & onshore)
  • Rotor hubs
  • Flanges & bearings
  • Generators, gearboxes & switchgears
  • Mandrels & composite materials
  • Mobile work platforms
  • Tooling & molds 

Benefits of electric tugs for wind turbine manufacturers

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 - tugs 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 moving system. 

Multidirectional movement with total control – discover total freedom of movement and manoeuvrability, 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.
  • Manoeuvrability - For large, awkward loads like 100m+ 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. 

Trusted by industry giants

Join leading wind turbine manufacturers who rely on our equipment to precisely control even the most challenging loads.

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.
