New MasterHandler Hero (3)
A classic, remastered

Big capacity, small footprint

The reimagined MasterHandler is our most compact, configurable electric tug for difficult-to-control loads with swivel castor setups. A stabilising leg slides under the load to eliminate drift, so that a single operator can easily and precisely move loads up to 6,000kg.

New MasterHandler with Load_Green Banner
Adaptable design

How it works

A modular leg sits beneath your wheeled load to create a control point and eliminate castor drift. A secure hydraulic connection and compact design positions the MasterHandler close to your load, giving maximum control in awkward spaces.

For even more precision, upgrade to the Electric Steer models for assisted steering, advanced control options, remote operation for full visibility, and line-follow technology for repeatable accuracy.

FAQs: Your questions, answered

Can the MasterHandler work in tight spaces?

The compact design of the MasterHandler provides a tight turning circle, making it perfectly suited to working within tight spaces and moving heavy wheeled loads precisely.

Can the MasterHandler range push and pull?

Yes, the MasterHandler range can push, pull, and steer heavy loads weighing up to 6,000kg – especially loads that are difficult to control with a tendency to drift during movement.

What is the maximum speed?

With the Two Speed Selector switch, ‘Tortoise’ mode enables you to maximise control and operate the machine at a slower speed setting of 1.2kph. In the faster ‘Hare’ setting, the machine’s speed is 3kph.

Machines can be set with custom speed settings where required, with a maximum programmable speed of 6kph. 

How does the MasterHandler control loads with all-swivelling castors?

With adjustable support legs that provide a control point, the MasterHandler can safely control loads with swivelling castors. The MasterHandler prevents the load from drifting, and the hydraulic coupling creates an unbreakable connection between the electric tug and the attached loads.

How far can the MasterHandler range travel on one charge?

Battery performance varies from model to model and is influenced by load weight, battery capacity, environmental conditions, and usage.

Individual battery performance data can be found on the Technical Specification Sheets for each model.

How does the MasterHandler connect?

A range of coupling options are available across the range that maximise performance, security, and safety. Custom coupling solutions can also be designed for unique applications. 

Does the MasterHandler work on slopes?

Yes, the MasterHandler range can work safely on slopes.

When it comes to electric tugs, it’s important to understand that for every degree of slope involved, the maximum load capacity of the machine is reduced, just as pushing a car on the level requires less force than on a slope. Therefore, if the weight of the load is already close to the maximum capacity of the machine, a more powerful machine may be needed to move the load on a slope.

We carry out a full evaluation of your application to ensure any machine is suited to your needs.
