Things to consider

With 25 years of experience helping major paper manufacturers streamline operations and improve workplace safety, we understand the industry's challenges.

  • Variety of loads – with a wide range of different reels, rolls, and other wheeled-loads in paper manufacturing, choose a supplier who can create custom solutions for your requirements.
  • Manual handling – choose solutions that take the strain of moving loads from operators by eliminating manual handling.
  • Moving awkward loads – moving rolls of paper can be difficult, we provide a range of standard roller couplings to make this simple and safe.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

How do electric tuggers move rolls of paper? 

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. 

Is an operator license or training required? 

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.     

How are electric tugs powered?  

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.   

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.
