4,000 lbs. Capacity with Reverse Steer: We had the opportunity to work with a fortune 100 company to help them transport 2,000 lbs. bags of minerals from storage to their processing plant to be broken down and then delivered to shipping. The hurdle was that they had to pull the train of 3 trailers weighing 12,000 lbs. up an 8% grade ramp. In order to accomplish this we had to provide a tugger powerful enough to pull this kind of weight. The other obstacle was the lack of room to turn the train around. Solution: We provided six 4,000 lbs. capacity trailers with reverse steer capability so they didn’t have to make a 180° turn. They would disconnect from one end and re-connect on the other end and proceed to pull the train. Along with that, we equipped them with a 40,000 lbs. pull capacity propane tugger to give them enough power to make it up the ramp without bogging down the motor. By doing this, they eliminated all the forklifts in the plant and were able to move 6 times more per load compared to a forklift.
2000 lbs. Capacity Carts with Sides : A major wholesale food club company wanted to be able to move soft drinks, food products, and merchandise from their distribution center across the parking lot to their warehouse. They wanted to be able to move a number of product at once. We accomplished this by providing 2000 lbs. capacity carts with sides to contain the product. The sides on one of the carts are removable and the other cart has doors that open up completely in order to unload and load product. To move these carts we provided a PAV (Power Assist Vehicle) to tow the product. With this solution, they are able to move 4 times the product instead of with a forklift.
