AllTerrain Electric Tugs

Your Questions, Answered – FAQs

Can you use the AllTerrain electric tugs outside?

Yes, MasterMover electric tugs can be used outside. Built with durability in mind, the AllTerrain range delivers optimum traction.

Purpose-built for the most challenging industrial environments, the AllTerrain range can be used inside, outside and on slopes.

Where is the AllTerrain most used?

The AllTerrain range is used in a range of environments, from retail to rolling stock maintenance. The range boasts flexible solutions to move heavy loads on rails to reduce the reliance on fixed infrastructure or forklift trucks.

Likewise, the range is used within retail logistics to move trains of nested roll cages without the need for manual handling.

How does the remote control work on the AllTerrain range?

The remote control operation of the AllTerrain range enables operators to take up the ideal vantage point when moving loads in straight lines. Simple controls allow operators to move the machine and load from a distance – ideal for moving loads on rails or when moving trains of nested roll cages in retail distribution.

What is the maximum speed?

With the Two Speed Selector switch, ‘Tortoise’ mode enables you to maximise control and operate the machine at a slower speed setting of 1.2kph. In the faster ‘Hare’ setting, the machine’s speed is 3kph.

Machines can be set with custom speed settings where required, with a maximum programmable speed of 6kph. 

How far can the AllTerrain range travel on one charge?

Battery performance varies from model to model and is influenced by load weight, battery capacity, environmental conditions and usage. Individual battery performance data can be found on the Technical Specification Sheets for each model.

How do they 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, the AllTerrain range 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 maximum capacity of the machine, a more powerful machine may be needed to move the load on a slope.
