Compact paper reel handling equipment that maximizes safety
Improve workplace safety and eliminate manual handling in paper manufacturing with our compact electric tuggers.

Moving heavy paper rolls shouldn’t be backbreaking work
In the manufacture of paper and paper products, production staff are often relied on to manually move heavy rolls and equipment – presenting the risk of strains and injuries, particularly where the movement is awkward or repetitive.
For the movement of larger, heavier reels, manufacturers often stretch the abilities of lift equipment such as forklifts to push loads, resulting in the uncontrolled, dangerous movement of loads within congested factories.
Achieve safe, controlled movements of paper rolls and reels
Enabling the effortless, controlled movement of heavy paper rolls, our electric tuggers and pushers help paper manufacturers eliminate manual handling and increase operational efficiency.
Offering a safer alternative to manual handling and traditional material handling equipment, electric tuggers empower a single operator to move even the heaviest loads with total control – maximizing workplace safety.
The benefits of electric tuggers in paper manufacturing
Compact, easy-to-use designs enable operators to safely move paper rolls, reels, equipment and carts through congested production environments.
Benefit from maximum control and reduce the risk of injuries with secure handling solutions, perfect for tight spaces.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs
We offer a range of electric tuggers, including pedestrian-operated pushers. Alongside our range of electric tuggers, we know that every load is different, which means how we connect to loads needs to be flexible.
Purpose-built for the safe movement of paper rolls, our AllTerrain range of electric pushers is available with a roll pushing coupling – enabling the easy, safe movement of heavy rolls.
No, unlike lifting equipment such as forklift trucks and cranes, an electric tugger does not require a license to operate. A license-free operation reduces downtime and maximizes operational efficiency, reducing wasted time waiting for a licensed driver.
Minimal training is required to safely operate an electric tugger and we offer training packages to suit every requirement.
Electric tugs 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.
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.
