Engineered for High-Traffic Manufacturing Spaces
Handling large loads manually or using forklifts in confined warehouse or factory spaces can pose a risk to worker safety and slow down production. PowerPusher® machines are designed to tackle these challenges by improving the transport of materials within your facilities.
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.
Moving Loads With Swivel Casters
Swivel-caster loads are highly maneuverable, thanks to their small turning radius, but they present challenges in control. Because each caster rotates independently, these loads are susceptible to “rolling downhill” on slight slopes or uneven surfaces.
The PowerTug™ is specifically designed to handle these issues. With a single operator, you can safely control, steer, position, and stop swivel-loads. PowerPusher® reduces the effort needed to move these loads, helping prevent strain and injury while maintaining precise control.

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!”

“The mover is a safe, convenient solution for moving aluminum in various forms, from flat stock to completed boat. It requires no special training and saves us time and labor.”
Anna D.
Alumacraft Boat Co.
“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.”
