Watch Our Trailer Caddy in Action

May 30, 2008 By: CartPro Category: Automotive Industry, Material Handling, Products No Comments →

You’ve seen those guys at the truck shows who strap a rope around their chest and pull a mega-ton truck across the ground, their muscles bulging and popping with every step. Well, you can do that too, and you’ll only need one hand! With the aid of the DJ Products’ TrailerCaddy, anyone can move multi-ton trailers with ease. Just click here to watch a You Tube video of our TrailerCaddy in action.

The DJ Products TrailerCaddy is a powered mover designed to push or pull trailers that require lifting on one end before maneuvering. Designed to move equipment short distances, the TrailerCaddy makes it possible for any employee to move an equipment trailer, RV, camper or boat across a show room floor, from one point to another in the plant, into position at a trade show or to a new position in the lot. The TrailerCaddy does not require bulging muscles or super-human strength. The caddy does all the heavy lifting. All your employee does is steer.

Our powered TrailerCaddy is less bulky and more maneuverable than traditional electric pullers. This cost-efficient electric puller will decrease fuel and maintenance costs. Maximum operator control and maneuverability, particularly in tight spaces, means minimal damage to surrounding parts and equipment. Ergonomically designed for easy use, the TrailerCaddy decreases accidents and prevents worker injury associated with muscle strain. You’ll save in decreased medical expenses, insurance costs and workmen’s compensation claims. Visit our website for complete information about the TrailerCaddy. �

Vehicle Pushers Provide Safe Solutions for Automotive Industry

May 19, 2008 By: CartPro Category: Automotive Industry, Products, Safety and Ergonomics 1 Comment →

Vehicle pushers, car and truck pushers, trailer movers and heavy equipment tugs provide safe solutions for moving cars, trucks, trailers and heavy equipment. DJ Products has designed a line of vehicle pushers, movers and tugs specifically targeted to the automotive industry.

The CarCaddy car and vehicle pusher was designed to push cars, buses and heavy equipment down an assembly line. This battery powered pusher can push any cart, vehicle or piece of equipment that has all straight wheels or is on a rail when no turning is required or when wheels will be turned by an operator. The CarCaddy is used by manufacturers to push units short distances as they are moved from station to station down an assembly line.

In the automotive industry, the CarCaddy is also often used to push stalled vehicles with pneumatic tires that don’t require steering. The CarCaddy has plenty of power to move stalled cars, trucks, campers and buses at service centers and along highways. The CarCaddy prevents the pain and strain of overextended muscles that occurs when vehicles must be manually pushed from a parking area into a service center garage for servicing. The CarCaddy is also a boon for emergency response crews who must often move vehicles from the highway onto the shoulder of the road for servicing or towing.

When sufficient manpower is unavailable, another vehicle is often used to push the stalled vehicle. Even when executed with care, such maneuvers often result in dents, scratches and cracks to one or both vehicles. The CarCaddy Car Pusher is made of a soft, durable, padded material designed to preserve the paint and integrity of the back end of a stalled vehicle. No more dents, scratches and cracks!
