AllTerrain
The AllTerrain range is ideal for any requirement where the load needs to be pushed, and can handle loads up to 3,000kg (or more if the load is on rails). Designed to handle any environment, AllTerrain machines feature strong coupling solutions and powerful motors to handle any challenge.
MasterTow
MasterTow compact models (TOW200 & TOW300) are designed to offer a towing solution for even the most demanding of environments – inside or outside, on slopes and on less-than-perfect surfaces. The simple and easy design offers towing capabilities of up to 3,000kg. There are also tow options in the Performance range for heavier moving capabilities.
MasterTug
The MasterTug range can move loads ranging from 2,000kg up to 20,000kg (spanning both the Compact and Performance ranges).

Compact Electric Tug FAQs
Compact electric tugs are designed to allow a single operator to move loads without the need for a license or unnecessary manual handling. The compact range can move weights of up to 3,000kg (6,600lbs).
Compact electric tugs can handle loads of up to 3,000kg (6,600 lbs). If you require a tug that can move heavier weights, the performance range would be more suitable.
No. One of the benefits of compact electric tugs are that anyone trained to operate the equipment can do so without the need for specialist qualifications. Operator training can be provided at the point of installation.
The key difference between the compact range and the performance range is their load capacity. The compact range can handle up to 3,000kg (6,600lbs), whereas the performance range can handle up to 70,000kg (155,000lbs).
Because they can handle heavier loads, tugs in the performance range may also feature advanced control options for more challenging applications.
Yes, they can. The compact range of electric tugs can handle both indoor and outdoor surfaces and inclines whilst maintaining a consistent operator experience.
Because electric tugs take most of the load weight, they reduce the need for operators to push and pull heavy loads around. This reduces the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. The compact range is fitted with additional safety features such as emergency stop, speed control, an audible horn and flashing beacon.
