LoadMover Material-Moving Tug

The LoadMover Material-Moving Tug is a self-contained, battery-powered, walk-behind tool used to move wheeled conveyances (e.g., carts, vehicles, trailers, machinery). It offsets the physical strain one would otherwise encounter in having to move heavy loads. Available in three power-capacity (1,000, 20,000, and 50,000 pound) models, the device features: ergonomic handle; bi-directional (push-pull), variable-speed thumb control; neutral throttle break; key, kill, and safety switches; 36-volt DC power circuit; on-board, five-stage battery charger; no-puncture foam-filled tires; and universal receiver for the 13 optional attachments, which allow customizing for almost any specialized application.

Cost: $5,050-$8,250
