Nissan Motor Manufacturing

Nissan Motor Manufacturing UK have recently taken delivery of two MasterTugs from MasterMover. The MasterTugs are used to move trucks carrying Press Die sets of up to 30 tonnes in weight. The trucks traverse across the Press shop on rails to allow the die sets to be hoisted by any of the 17 overhead cranes which run longitudinally down the shop.

“We had two units installed and are in the process of installing a 3rd machine. This will mean all of NMUK’s die trucks in the Press shop will have this new concept, drive system. One of the main benefits gained from the use of these units is the flexibility they bring. It is easily detached from the truck via the removal of 1 pin and any of the other drives can be used in its’ place. In the past this was not possible and the truck was motionless until repairs were completed. The benefits of working with MasterMover are a well established company, project solutions designed to suit requirements, after sales service – technical advice and spares availability, flexibility in Engineering design changes in all a good product” quoted Peter Brady Technical Officer.

If you are searching for a way to move a heavy load MasterMover can offer a cost effective and safe solution.
