Material handling in steel manufacturing, it’s more than forklifts
For steel manufacturers and fabricators alike, maximising operational efficiency is crucial.
Heavy, large steelwork can make material handling a challenge, with many manufacturers relying solely on lifting equipment such as overhead cranes and forklift trucks.
While perfectly suited to lifting components in the fabrication process, relying on lifting equipment to move loads through sites results in production bottlenecks and delays.
The benefits of electric tugs in steel and fabrication
Compact but powerful electric tugs enable steel manufacturers to safely move loads such as heavy steelwork, rebar, plating, sheet metal and castings with complete confidence.
Working alongside lifting equipment, electric tugs help manufacturers create flexible production processes and maximise efficiency.
-
Improve operational efficiency
Enabling steel manufacturers to improve operational efficiency, throughput and production flow.
-
Create flexible production processes
Whether it’s moving loads off the production line or in building-to-building movements, electric tugs give manufacturers the flexibility needed.
-
Reduce downtime
With no operator license required, a single operator can easily move loads as and when required – reducing downtime and production bottlenecks.
MasterTug
Up to 20,000 kg
