    MasterTug electric tug moving body-in-white at VW

    Case study: Volkswagen EV Plant Supercharges Workplace Safety

    As one of the largest automotive OEMs in the world, Volkswagen is committed to creating a safe working environment for its employees. 

    Learn how VW used MasterMover electric tugs to improve workplace safety.

    I’d certainly be happy to recommend the MasterMover AGV to other organisations looking to automate their driving processes.

    We were able to deploy the electric tugs on many sites, and we have received very good feedback from users.

    They are high-quality, reliable and easy to operate, and furthermore, they offer fantastic control and movement in tight spaces – so they are ideal for use in the biopharma industry.

    The tugs have enabled us to change the way we produce our units, making the workshop more efficient and a safer environment.

    We wouldn’t be able to meet the needs of our trash hauling company without having MasterMover’s electric tug to get our containers out of the building and to the street safely.

    Our staff have given us some great feedback and love the MasterMover’s simplicity of use and safety features.

    Your questions, answered - FAQs

    Do I need a license to operate an electric tug?

    No, you do not need a licence to use an electric tug. This is one of the many reasons industrial manufacturers are increasingly opting for electric tugs to create fork-fee environments.

    Unlike forklift trucks, electric tow tugs don’t lift loads, so they do not fall under LOLER regulations (Lifting Operations ad Lifting Equipment Regulations, 1998).  

    With an electric tug, you no longer need to wait for the availability of a licensed forklift truck driver to move a load.   

    How long does the battery last?

    Like any battery, the battery life of an electric tug or electric tow is determined by usage, specification, and environmental factors. Battery life can be influenced by variables such as:  

    • Load weight and route  
    • Run speed  
    • Battery specification/size  
    • Environmental conditions such as temperature

    We provide a runtime figure on each of our product pages.   

    Will they work on slopes?

    Yes, all MasterMover machines will work on slopes. The maximum angle our tugs are capable of clearing, on average, is 8°.  

    It is important to remember 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 tug may be needed to move the load on a slope.   

    Can they work outside?

    Yes, all our electric tow tugs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Our AllTerrain tow tug range is the ideal solution for the most challenging of environments.

    What if I need a custom solution?

    For applications where a standard solution isn’t the right fit, we have a dedicated engineering team on hand to create custom solutions. With 25 years of industry experience in providing customised solutions, you’re in safe hands with MasterMover.
