Reducing manpower in warehouses is a key advantage of using electric tugs and pushers. Warehouses often rely on teams of employees to move heavy loads and equipment, but the introduction of this innovative technology has transformed the process. Electric tugs and pushers streamline operations, creating safer and more efficient workflows. At Tractive Power, we provide solutions designed to simplify tasks, minimise risks, and boost productivity.
How Electric Tugs and Pushers Reduce Manpower
Electric tugs and pushers allow a single operator to move heavy loads that traditionally required a team. Here’s how they make a difference:
- Remove the Need for Multiple Staff:
Instead of several employees working together to move a load, one person with an electric tug or pusher can handle the task effortlessly. This frees up other team members for more valuable tasks. - Reduce Risk of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs):
Manual handling of heavy loads is a leading cause of workplace injuries. By replacing physical effort with powered assistance. Electric tugs minimise strain on workers and reduce the risk of MSDs. - No Forklift License Required:
Unlike forklifts, electric tugs do not require operators to hold a forklift license. This simplifies training and allows more employees to operate the equipment safely and confidently. - Compact and Manoeuvrable:
Electric tugs are smaller and more manoeuvrable than forklifts, making them ideal for navigating tight spaces in warehouses.
Industries That Benefit from Electric Tugs
Electric tugs and pushers are versatile and can be used across a wide range of industries, including:
- Textiles: Moving A-frame trolleys loaded with fabric rolls is made simple with electric pushers like the TP250.
- Food and Beverage: Perfect for moving pallets of ingredients or finished goods in confined areas.
- Automotive: Transporting heavy parts or tools in production lines is safer and more efficient.
- Retail and E-commerce: Electric tugs streamline the movement of inventory from warehouses to delivery zones.
