MasterTug FAQs

How can such a compact machine move such a heavy load?

We’re often asked how such small machines can move such heavy and large loads. The unique design of the MasterTug range means it can move heavy loads of up to 20,000kg, much greater in size than the tug. This is through our patented weight transfer system.  This design transfers an element of the load weight down through the MasterTug’s drive wheel to gain traction. 

Is an operator license or training required?

No, unlike lifting equipment such as forklift trucks and cranes, an electric tug does not require a license to operate. A license-free operation reduces downtime and maximises operational efficiency, reducing wasted time waiting for a licensed driver.

Minimal training is required to safely operate an electric tug and we offer training packages to suit every requirement. 

Can I use the MasterTug range outside?

Yes, MasterMover electric tugs can be used outside. Built with durability in mind, the MasterTug range delivers consistent performance on uneven surfaces and rough floors. Purpose-built for industrial environments, the MasterTug range can be used inside, outside and on slopes.

How does the MasterTug range 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.
