The power to maximize control of sensitive equipment
Delivering the controlled movement of sensitive loads and hazardous material, MasterMover electric tuggers are trusted by nuclear energy providers to safely move equipment.
Handling hazardous materials and sensitive loads in the nuclear sector can be a challenge.
Highly regulated and controlled environments mean that manual handling is often relied on to move heavy-wheeled loads – presenting the risk of injury.
Moving heavy vessels and tanks puts staff at risk, leading many nuclear providers to turn to electric tugs.
Powering up safety in nuclear
Electric tuggers enable operators to safely control heavy-wheeled loads, eliminating the need for manual handling.
Compact and powerful, a single operator can precisely move heavy loads weighing over 66,000 lbs. with complete control, reducing the risk of damage and maximizing safety.
The benefits of electric tuggers for nuclear plants
Safe, secure and controlled, electric tuggers ensure loads are moved with accuracy and stability – reducing the risk of collisions.
The controlled movement of hazardous materials with electric tuggers – but with the added benefit of remote control operation.
Remote control operation enables operators to stand away from the load and have an ideal vantage point, unlocking greater visibility and allowing operators to maintain a safe distance from loads.
Quality assurance is crucial. That’s why leading nuclear research facilities and power plants trust MasterMover electric tuggers to deliver the controlled movement of hazardous loads and high-value equipment.
MasterMover is easy to work with and all products performed as advertised. Moved our heavy products with ease!
Your Questions, Answered - FAQs
How are electric tuggers used in the nuclear industry?
Electric tugs are used by nuclear facilities to improve safety when moving loads such as:
Stainless steel vessels
Hoppers and bins
Components and support equipment
How are electric tuggers powered?
Electric tuggers are battery-powered, with interchangeable batteries or lithium options available, electric tuggers can deliver 24/7 operation to keep your processes moving. Offering zero emissions from the point of use, electric tugs are ideally suited for indoor use, replacing internal combustion engine powered equipment such as forklifts or tow tractors.
How do electric tuggers and electric tows connect?
A range of coupling options is available across the range that maximizes performance, security and safety.
Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications.
