The MasterTow range of tow tugs is used around the world across industrial manufacturing sectors.

With remote control operation, line follow navigation, and autonomous options available, our customers have more choice than even when it comes to selecting a MasterMover tow tug to take on their load moving challenges.

Technology Options – Remote Control & AGV Capability

The updated MasterTow range of electric tow tugs are pedestrian operated as standard, but now feature a number of control options for customers wanting advanced solutions.

Remote Control

Multi-directional remote control operation allows the operator to take up the ideal vantage point away from the load – ideal when moving large loads and operating in tight spaces.

Remote Control – Wireless Autosteer

An operator controls speed and instigates movement with the line follow navigation delivering accurate, repeatable movements.

AGV – Line Follow

The electric tow utilises line follow navigation, but moves autonomously, using best-in-class safety systems to identify hazards and manage risk.
