Grappling with the need for flexibility in modular building assembly
Throughout the manufacture of modular buildings, large assemblies, modules and frames are moved along a production line.
With large, heavy loads, manufacturers often rely on a combination of lifting equipment to facilitate this, including forklift trucks and overhead cranes.
As manufacturers look to optimise efficiency and meet lead times, the downtime associated with waiting for licensed drivers to move loads is becoming a key concern.
Creating flexible, efficient flowlines in modular building manufacturing
Modular construction manufacturers looking to improve the flowline manufacturing process of prefabricated and modular building structures trust electric tugs to deliver.
With no operator license required, both pedestrian operated and remote-controlled electric tugs enable manufacturers to create agile, lean and efficient material handling processes.
Create seamless operations and maximise productivity when moving modular buildings, pods, site cabins and other prefabricated components with electric tugs.
The benefits of electric tugs in modular building manufacturing
Helping modular building manufacturers to increase output and efficiency, electric tugs empower a single operator to move loads of up to 70,000kg and beyond – with total control.
Benefit from maximum control and reduce the risk of damage to loads and equipment with secure handling solutions, perfect for tight spaces.

-
Increase production output
Streamlining the movement of heavy loads and equipment, electric tugs enable modular building manufacturers to increase operational efficiency.
-
Big moves, compact machines
Space limitations and large equipment can make moving loads challenging. Compact electric tugs enable the precise positioning of loads in tight areas.
-
Unlock greater flexibility
Electric tugs enable modular building manufacturers to create flexible production processes.
Our range of modular building moving electric tugs
AllTerrain
Up to 5,000 kg
Delivering powerful performance in demanding conditions, choose the AllTerrain range to safely move heavy loads on rails and castors.
MasterTug
Up to 20,000 kg
The MasterTug range allows a single pedestrian operator to easily push, pull and steer wheeled loads weighing up to 20,000kg.
MasterTow
Up to 20,000 kg
Drive safety and efficiency with our powerful electric tow tugs, designed to safely move loads of up to 20,000kg.
PowerSteered
Up to 70,000 kg
Remote control solutions for maximum visibility when moving loads up to 70,000kg, and beyond with our patented MultiLink solution.
Remote Control Technology
Unrivalled visibility when moving modular structures
The controlled movement of heavy structures with electric tugs – but with the added benefit of remote control operation.
Remote control operation enables operators to stand away from the load and take up the ideal vantage point, unlocking greater visibility and allowing operators to maintain a safe distance from loads.
Trusted by leading prefabricated and modular building manufacturers
Leading global modular building manufacturers trust MasterMover’s compact electric tugs to safely move heavy loads, increasing efficiency and enabling them to unlock greater flexibility.
We have always found MasterMover to be a professional and innovative company. They have very good response times when an issue arises with our equipment and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to future customers.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs
Yes, our electric tugs can operate both indoors and outdoors. Whether it’s in moving assemblies along the production line or in facilitating building-to-building movements, electric tugs can safely move heavy loads, inside and outside.
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.
