Electric TugElectric Tug: CartCaddyLH

The CartCaddyLH is a battery powered electric tug produced to push and pull heavy carts and wheeled equipment from 10,000 to 50,000 lbs.

The CartCaddyLH tug is the heavier-duty electric upgrade to the CartCaddy. Almost anything on wheels can be pushed or pulled by the electric tug.

Electric Tug Applications

The CartCaddyLH mover achieves traction to push or pull a load by either adding steel to the inside of the CartCaddy or by transferring weight from the cart to the wheels of the electric tug. Weight transfer can be accomplished in two ways, with the electric lift kit, or pushing with the angled push pad. Some loads require a combination of both methods.

Higher amperage controllers are available to further increase the CartCaddyLH's motorized tug power for more demanding cart pushing and pulling applications.

Electric Tug Benefits

The CartCaddyLH tug is less bulky than traditional equipment, which results in fewer accidents and lower maintenance costs. The maneuverability of the electric tug also reduces damage that is done to surrounding parts and equipment.

The tug also effectively prevents the difficulty often associated with manually pushing and pulling heavy equipment. The use of the CartCaddyLH cart mover minimizes the risk of injury, which in turn reduces workers' compensation and insurance claims.
