Electric tugs from Tractive Power are one of the most cost-effective ways to keep workers safe in full and busy warehouses.
Running on battery power our range of electric tug removes the manual strain of transporting goods and loads around factories and warehouses.
Pedestrian tugs (as they are sometimes referred to as) keep the operator safe from lifting injuries with the machine enabling the movement of goods in an efficient manner.
Addressing Safety Concerns with an Electric Tug
A recent report from the UK Warehouse Association (UKWA) has raised concerns for workers in factories and warehouses stockpiling in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
Some businesses are panicking and ordering goods from overseas in larger numbers to safeguard against shortages after the departure date on 31st October.
With record demand for warehousing space and a dramatic spike in consignments needing to be processed every day, there is an increased risk of musculoskeletal injuries in the workforce.
Without the appropriate lifting and moving equipment, these repetitive tasks can lead to strains and injuries which will put more strain on workforces.
