    Making the move from manual to mechanized in biopharma

    The ballroom concept in biopharmaceutical manufacturing enhances flexibility with wheeled equipment, but it also increases the risk of manual handling injuries when moving heavy items. Many assume that equipment with wheels can be easily pushed by hand, leading to safety concerns. MasterMover’s Stainless Steel range of electric tugs provides a robust mechanised solution that mitigates these risks, improving safety and productivity in cleanroom environments.

    Customers who trust the Stainless Steel range 

    The Stainless Steel range has earned the trust of leading global manufacturers for its ability to safely transport sensitive loads in controlled environments. While primarily serving the biopharmaceutical industry's rigorous safety requirements, these machines also excel in food manufacturing and aerospace applications.

    Your Questions, Answered – FAQs

    What grade of stainless steel is used?

    All of our stainless steel electric tugs are constructed with 316 high-grade stainless steel.

    This makes them ideally suited to food production environments and biopharmaceutical cleanrooms.

    Is a license required?

    No, all of our electric tugs are completely license-free, maximising productivity and efficiency. 

    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 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. 

    What IP ratings are available?

    The Stainless Steel range encompasses a number of different machines, with varying ingress protection (IP) ratings.

    Individual IP ratings can be found on the Technical Specification Sheets for each model, though as a guide, IP ratings range from IP42 - IP55, with higher ratings available as a custom solution. 

    Is stainless steel more expensive?

    Yes, stainless steel is more expensive than mild steel alternatives due to the addition of a range of other alloying elements. Different grades of stainless steel are available which also influence the price and preparation involved.

    Our electric tugs are used in highly controlled environments such as food manufacturing and biopharmaceuticals, so we use high-grade 316 stainless steel.
