About Moving Loads on Carts with PowerPusher®
A typical industrial cart has two swivel casters in the “front” and two fixed wheels or casters in the “rear”. This arrangement requires the cart to be moved from the “front” and assuming it is to be moved both forward and backward, there needs to be a physical connection to the cart itself so that it may be steered to prevent any risk of accidental disconnection. In order to “steer” the cart, we use our PowerPusher® Patented 5th-Wheel attachment that incorporates a heavy-duty slewing ring on top of our machines.
This enables the PowerPusher® to articulate relative to the connection to the cart, which allows the operator to accurately steer and position the cart. The connection to the cart is achieved by a male/female coupling arrangement, which ensures the PowerPusher® stays safely coupled to the cart during the movement process. Connection is automatically self-aligning by driving the machine towards the mounted receiver.

Take it from some of our customers:
“I started working at my shop in 1994. We still use that same Automotive PowerPusher nearly every day!! Sure, we’ve replaced batteries and a chain just recently, but all in all, this thing has been the workhorse of our shop. Something that has lasted almost 30 years must be right!"

“We love the E-750 Electric Wheelbarrow ! The run flat tires are awesome. We do a lot of work around construction and have had probably 20 nail issues and zero problems. The battery life is insane, we can get an entire week out of a full charge!”

“I have had a few people try it out with our custom cart and they like it very much! It makes the job quite simple. We like the speed of it, how it handles, and how easy it is to maneuver.”
