From the terminal to the workshop

Electric tuggers for airports

Airports are complex, high-pressure environments where safe and efficient load movement is critical across every part of the operation.

MasterMover electric tuggers allow a single operator to move heavy baggage trailers, ground power units (GPUs), catering carts, and ground support equipment (GSE) – eliminating manual handling and MSD injury risk. Trusted by major global airports including Manchester Airport Group, Heathrow, Gatwick, and Changi Airport.

Success story

Manchester Airport Group

MAG Case Study Overview

Zero incidents & productivity tripled

Manchester Airport Group's Motor Transport team needed a safer way to move heavy baggage trailers into their maintenance workshop – a task that previously required three people manually pushing, risking MSD injury and taking skilled technicians away from productive work.

A MasterMover electric tug now allows a single operator to do this safely; boosting productivity by 200% and reducing lost time incidents by 100%.

Watch the full project breakdown

A great piece of kit that has made a material difference to the way our teams work within the maintenance workshops. It's brilliant.
