The tug’s arm lowers and raises to attach securely under the cart. Once attached, it transfers weight to the drive wheels for strong traction. The operator walks with the tug, controlling speed and direction easily while the unit handles the heavy load.
This motorized tug is ideal for facilities that regularly move heavy wheeled loads and want to reduce manual pushing/pulling strain and improve safety.
