The MasterTug range delivers unrivalled manoeuvrability when moving heavy-wheeled loads weighing up to 20,000kg. Utilising a unique weight transfer principle, the MasterTug range can move heavy weights whilst retaining an incredibly compact machine footprint. The design makes the MasterTug range perfect for working in confined spaces and facilitating precise movements.
With ergonomic controls, lightweight steering and an intuitive design, the MasterTug takes the strain and empowers an operator to move heavy loads with complete control. A secure coupling system maximises load security and performance, guaranteeing total peace of mind.
The powerful performance of the MasterTug allows operators to push, pull and steer loads inside, outside and on slopes with complete control.

Benefits of the MasterTug Range
The MasterTug range of pedestrian tugs is used across the world in industrial manufacturing, offering the controlled movement of loads inside, outside and on slopes:
Safe movement of loads weighing up to 20,000kg
License-free operation
Zero emissions
Compact machines for tight spaces
Secure movement of loads
Eliminate manual handling
Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
Easy and secure couplings
Your Questions, Answered – FAQs
No, electric tugs do not lift the load. They are designed to keep the load safely on the ground, maximising safety and reducing risk.
Yes, the MasterTug range can push, pull and steer heavy loads weighing up to 20,000kg.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, the MasterTug range can work safely on slopes. When it comes to pedestrian 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.
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.
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.
