You have to love Nascar. The roar of the engines, the flashing colors, the intense concentration of drivers hurtling around the track at speeds we only wish we could achieve with our rather pedestrian family car. We marvel at the balletic precision of the pit crews as a car zooms in and screeches to a halt, tires smoking. Like attacking locusts, the crew descends on the car, jacks pumping and pneumatic drills whirring, bouncing tread-bare tires off and new ones back on. Then with a roar, the car is off again to join the fray.

What we don’t see is the back-breaking labor behind the scenes. Before and after races, these race cars must be muscled in and out of trailers, pushed around service areas for fine tuning and repair, shunted across huge expanses of tarmac for inspection or testing, and maneuvered into the pit – all manually. Can you imagine the chaos if all those high-powered machines went lurching around with engines roaring? Until race time, the only power used to move these sleek racers is human muscle. And since human sinew and tendons are no match for more than a ton of steel, injuries are common.

DJ Product’s RaceCarCaddy keeps the risk of injury on the track and out of the pit. This battery-powered auto pusher allows a single crew member to expertly move and maneuver a heavy race car in the pit or staging area without risk of injury, freeing other crew members for other service tasks. Our RaceCarCaddy is a specialized version of our popular ergonomically-designed car and vehicle pusher developed especially for the race car industry.

The RaceCarCaddy is capable of moving 5000 pounds. Made with a strong tubular steel frame, this battery-operated vehicle pusher features a variable-speed handlebar twist grip to eliminate carpal tunnel syndrome, can go from 0 to 3 mph in both forward and reverse with adjustable acceleration braking, and features non-marking push pads to protect those snazzy paint jobs. Powered by three 12-volt batteries, this powerful vehicle mover comes with an onboard automatic charger, Hoosier slick racing tires and much more.

Specialized options are also available for the RaceCarCaddy, including an operator ride-along kit, foam-filled tires, snow and ice tires, flashing light, safety horn, maintenance-free batteries and a heavy duty motor/transaxle power upgrade that allows this caddy to push cars and trucks up to 50,000 pounds. Your RaceCarCaddy can be customized to match your race car and include your sponsor’s logo.

Specialized environments require specialized equipment. DJ Products responded to the specific needs of the food and pharmaceutical industries by introducing a stainless steel model of our versatile CartCaddy Dolly Pusher.

The manufacture and handling of food, pharmaceuticals and certain other products must be performed in a scrupulously sterile environment. The paint and powder coatings typically applied to manufacturing and material handling equipment are prohibited in such environments. Stainless steel accommodates the rigorous cleaning and decontamination procedures standard in such sensitive environments. DJ Products saw the need for stainless steel versions of its popular CartCaddy Dolly Pusher to assist workers in these and other industries that demand sterile environments.

Small and maneuverable, the walk-behind, battery-powered CartCaddy Dolly Pusher is capable of pushing or pulling heavy carts and wheeled equipment. This versatile dolly pusher is ergonomically designed to prevent the painful — and costly — pains, strains and injuries suffered by employees attempting to manually push and pull carts in manufacturing and distribution environments.

Musculoskeletal injuries caused by pushing, pulling and lifting equipment and materials cost U.S. industries billions of dollars each year not only in direct medical costs, but also in expensive insurance premiums, workers’ compensation costs and lost man-hours. Government data puts the average cost of a single back injury at $26,000. Studies show that the introduction of ergonomic equipment can pay for itself almost immediately by decreasing the risk of worker injury and its associated costs. DJ Products’ stainless steel version of our adaptable powered CartCaddy Dolly Pusher allows sensitive industries like food and pharmaceuticals to reduce the risk of costly injuries and focus on  increasing worker safety.

A compact, 36-volt, battery-powered motor allows the CartCaddy Dolly Pusher to easily transport up to 15,000 pounds of equipment or materials without worker strain. Small but mighty, increased weight over the drive tires augments traction which allows this small powered tug to handle heavy loads. Three 12-volt batteries enable this dolly pusher to perform without recharging for an entire shift. Variable speed ergonomic twist grips prevent carpal tunnel syndrome while ensuring instant response when maneuvering in tight spaces. A handy safety stop switch conveniently located at the back of the handlebar box instantly stops operation if risk of injury is imminent. Additional features enable smooth pivoting through a full 180 degrees and much more.

Respect for both its medical personnel and bottom line led a large California hospital to partner with DJ Products. Looking for ways to eliminate potential injuries caused by moving heavy hospital beds, food and linen carts, gurneys and wheeled equipment, this hospital turned to DJ Products for ergonomic solutions that would protect the health and safety of its staff. By implementing an ergonomic program to decrease injuries, the hospital also lowered medical, insurance and workers’ compensation costs. Absenteeism from worker injury and resultant added payroll and overtime expenses necessary to cover those absences also decreased.

Like most medical facilities, this hospital relies not only on paid staff, but also on what is fondly termed the “gray brigade” to function. An army of seniors provides a host of volunteer services to assist the perennially harried staff and enrich the lives of patients. Concern about possible injuries among its aging volunteer force and heavily female medical staff led this hospital to review tasks and procedures and update its equipment with ergonomic cart pullers from DJ Products.

DJ Products is a leader in the manufacture of ergonomic material handling products for the hospital, retail, hospitality, automotive and manufacturing markets. Our CartCaddyLite Cart Puller eliminates the pains and strains that can occur when manually pushing hospital beds, medical equipment and heavy food and linen carts. The battery-powered CartCaddyLite easily maneuvers beds, equipment and carts weighing up to 1500 pounds. Variable speed twist grips allow the operator to travel at speeds of 0 to 3 mph and maneuver forward and backwards in tight hospital rooms and congested corridors. Its compact, batter-operated, 24-volt motor can perform without recharging for an entire shift.

We also make an electric cart pusher for maneuvering heavier carts and equipment up to 20,000 pounds and a versatile powered platform cart for moving heavy boxes and supplies.
