Things to consider

With years of experience supporting modular building manufacturers, we understand the unique challenges and requirements of the industry.

When choosing a material handling solution like an electric tugger, consider the following:

  • Flowline production – you need a solution that can be used to create efficient flowline production processes to drive efficiency.
  • Weight capacity – make sure you choose a solution that can handle the increasing weight of modular building assemblies.
  • Indoor & outdoor capabilities – choose a solution that can reliably move pre-fabricated assemblies both on the shopfloor and between buildings.
  • Control modes – moving large loads in offsite construction can be difficult. Remote control systems provide added safety and better visibility.

Your Questions, Answered - FAQs

Can electric tuggers be used to move our modular buildings outside? 

Yes, our electric tuggers can operate both indoors and outdoors. Whether it’s in moving assemblies along the production line or in facilitating building-to-building movements, electric tuggers can safely move heavy loads, inside and outside. 

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 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.
