FAQs: Your questions, answered

What is the performance range of electric tugs?

The Performance range is MasterMover's heavy-duty electric tug solution for moving loads weighing between 3,000 kg and 70,000 kg. Designed for industrial environments, the range offers a small-footprint, licence-free alternative to traditional material handling equipment, delivering consistent traction and precise control whether indoors, outdoors, or on slopes.

How do performance range electric tugs move such heavy loads?

Performance range electric tugs use either MasterMover's unique weight transfer principle or the machine's own weight to generate traction, allowing a single operator to move loads up to 70,000 kg. Advanced control options including remote control, TillerLink, and MultiLink are available for even more weight-moving power and handling.

Do I need a license to use a Performance tug?

No, Performance Range electric tugs are licence-free to operate, meaning any trained operator can use them without specialist licenses, we provide operator training during installation.

Which industries use Performance range electric tugs?

The Performance range is used across manufacturing and assembly, aerospace and defense, energy and petrochemical, data center supply chains – anywhere that heavy loads between 3,000 kg and 70,000 kg need to be moved safely without the reliance on forklifts or lifting equipment.

What is TillerLink and when would I use it?

TillerLink connects two electric tuggers to manage the movement of a single load, adding a second point of control and stability. It is ideal for long, awkward, or uneven loads where a single machine would struggle to maintain full control of the load throughout movement.

Can Performance range electric tugs be used outdoors?

Yes, Performance range electric tugs are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, providing consistent traction and control over a range of surfaces and gradients.

How do Performance range tuggers connect to a load?

A wide range of coupling options are available across the Performance range to suit different load types and environments, ensuring secure and reliable connection between the machine and the load throughout every movement.
