FAQs - About Our Tuggers & Pushers

Not necessarily. In many cases, we’re able to meet application needs through simple, cost-effective modifications—such as adding an attachment or adjusting existing options—rather than fully custom designs. Our goal is to match your load and environment with the most efficient solution while minimizing additional cost.
Often, no. Many applications can be handled using our standard equipment combined with available attachments or options. Customization is only recommended if your load or environment requires a more tailored solution. Our team will assess your needs and recommend the most efficient path forward.
Understanding your load details, environment, and operational goals allows us to properly recommend the safest and most effective equipment configuration. This ensures the machine you receive is sized correctly, functions as intended, and delivers maximum productivity for your specific use case.
Our equipment is designed to handle a wide range of load weights—from a few hundred pounds up to 250,000 lbs or more, depending on the model and application. We will evaluate your load characteristics to match you with the right PowerPusher model and configuration.
Most PowerPusher equipment operates on 24V or 48V DC battery systems, charged via standard 110V or 220V AC outlets depending on your region and model. We will confirm the exact charging requirements for your specific machine at the time of quoting.
Battery run time varies depending on load weight, duty cycle, and environment. Under typical use, many customers operate their machines for a full shift or multiple shifts before charging is required. Our team can estimate expected battery life based on your specific application.
Safety is Our Business
From ergonomic handles to controlled movement at every turn, these machines are designed to reduce the risk of injuries and improve operator safety.
