Featuring the Rolloff Caddy Container Mover

While the term “rolloff” may imply that something is easy to move, when applied to compactors or containers, it doesn’t quite work out that way. Save time, improve productivity and protect employees with rolloff moving equipment from DJ Products.

Dangers of the Trash Room

Believe it or not, the trash room is one of the more dangerous spots in any business or multi-family property. When attempting to move a dumpster, employees can suffer cuts, contusions, and muscle and joint strain due to the heavy weight and sharp edges.

While cuts and contusions usually heal, muscle and joint strain can linger, resulting in chronic health problems. This ends up costing your company in manpower shortage and workers compensation claims.

Improve Operations With Rolloff Moving Equipment from DJ Products

Our RollOffCaddy Container Mover simplifies the task of moving compactors and containers while reducing the risk of injury. DJ Products lists RollOffCaddy configurations for moving containers up to 50,000 lbs. Lifting capacity varies by configuration and is separate from rolling capacity; confirm both for your load.

Another problem with bulky compactors and containers is that they can be awkward to navigate. The RollOffCaddy Container Mover maneuvers smoothly around tight corners and through narrow hallways. If you have to move a container outdoors, confirm the selected configuration’s suitable surfaces and grade limits. Ice and snow can reduce traction.

Top Features of the RollOffCaddy Container Mover

• Lift rating, batteries and drive configuration vary by model. Review the current specifications for the unit you select.

• Ergonomic design, such as variable speed twist grip, can reduce manual pushing effort.

• Safety features include a stop switch and horn. Ask which lighting options are supplied with your selected configuration.

• Other standard features include an onboard charger, battery discharge indicator, neutral throttle braking and high-tech speed controller.

We have a number of additional options so you can customize your RollOffCaddy Container Mover to fit your specific requirements.

Cart Pulling Solutions for Cart Towing in Your Warehouse

Warehouses are full of materials that need to be transported quickly from one spot to another. If the process gets interrupted at any point, it results in costly delays and reduced productivity. Keep operations running smoothly with the CartCaddyShorty from DJ Products.

Meet the CartCaddyShorty

Are you relying on outdated equipment to move carts and materials around the workplace? This method ties up manpower that could be put to more valuable use elsewhere. Even worse, employees may sustain injuries that cause expensive workers’ compensation claims and a potential labor shortage.

With the CartCaddyShorty, a single employee can safely and easily move loads of up to 3,000 pounds. Our puller works particularly well with carts that have two front swivel casters and two back straight casters, which are commonly found in most manufacturing facilities.

Take a Closer Look

No matter what industry you’re in, whether you’re moving a cart full of cookie dough or a flat bed of steel, the CartCaddy has all the power needed. Its compact size allows for maximum maneuverability around corners and through tight spaces.

Here’s a look at some of the top features of our best-selling cart puller:

* Our eco-friendly cart puller operates on three 12-volt batteries, with a charger that fits 120/220 Hrz outlets. One charge usually provides enough power to last through two shifts.

* The ergonomic design, with features such as a variable speed twist grip, helps reduce repetitive motion injuries.

* A 3 MPH capacity means the puller can easily keep pace with its operator, eliminating the frustration of stop-and-start delays.

* The safety stop switch, conveniently located at the back of the handlebar box, brings the puller to an immediate stop, preventing damage and injury from collisions.

As one of our satisfied customers recently expressed, “The machine has worked reliably for several months and is easy to use. I would recommend it for anyone that needs a small, yet powerful, cart towing truck.”

Best in Class Electric Car Pusher Solves Dealers’ Vehicle Movement Problems

Superman can move cars and other vehicles with the touch of a finger. Unfortunately, for mere mortals, this time-consuming process can result in damage and injuries. Turn your employees into superheroes with the CarCaddy, our electric car pusher from DJ Products.

Why the CarCaddy Is the Solution for Your Dealership

How many hours are spent each day moving cars, trucks and trailers around at your auto lot or service center? Safety risk creates a greater cost, as injured employees are restricted to light duty or have to miss work altogether.

When the vehicle in question is stalled or inoperative, the process is even more involved. Manually pushing a car or truck overextends the body and places undue strain on muscles and joints. Employees will often resort to pushing the stalled vehicle with another vehicle, which is likely to cause expensive damage to one or both.

Our CarCaddy keeps your business running smoothly and reduces the need for manual pushing. When used on flat ground, the CarCaddy allows a single person to move loads of 20,000 pounds. On a three percent grade, this sturdy mover can push 10,000 pounds with ease.

The electric car pusher is eco-friendly, operating on battery power instead of fuel. Customers also appreciate the CarCaddy’s compact size that enables it to maneuver vehicles around corners and through tight spaces.

Features of the CarCaddy

Here are some of the features that make the CarCaddy such a cost-effective and powerful tool for any auto yard:

* The CarCaddy operates on three 12-volt batteries, with a charger that’s compatible with 120/220 AC outlets.

* A high-tech speed controller and neutral throttle braking provide safe operation.

* The variable speed handlebar twist grip is ergonomically designed to lessen repetitive motion injuries.

* The adaptable push pad protects bumpers, providing a contact surface for compatible vehicles; check fit before use.

* Optional features include winter weather tires, flashing lights and heavy-duty upgrades to handle vehicles up to 50,000 pounds.

Pilots Love the Maneuverability of the AircraftCaddy 4K/8K

Planes glide smoothly through the air, but on the ground it’s a whole other story. Moving aircraft in and out of hangars is a difficult and tedious job. Lighten the load with the AircraftCaddy, a battery-powered aircraft tug from DJ Products.

AircraftCaddy: Solution to Every Pilot’s Problem

How many employees does it take to move aircraft around an airfield? Not only do you need to keep a minimum number of people on hand for this task, but you incur additional costs if they become injured and you have to replace them.

Thanks to the AircraftCaddy, a single person can comfortably move small aircraft weighing up to 4,000 pounds. This frees up the rest of your staff to attend to other workday tasks while reducing the risk of injury from muscle or joint strain.

Much of the activity on an airfield takes place outdoors. Our aircraft tug is sturdy enough to function on a number of different surfaces, up and down inclines and during inclement weather.

Customers Sing the Praises of the AircraftCaddy

Don’t just take our word for it. Here are comments from one of our many satisfied customers, who spoke with DJ Products Sales Specialist Karl Koznick:

“Just ran the tug in and out of hangar with my Baron attached… very smooth, easy to maneuver and simple! Overall, very pleased with the caddy! Whoever designed it should be given kudos!”

Top AircraftCaddy Features

With these great features, it’s no surprise that the AircraftCaddy is so efficient and cost-effective:

* The AircraftCaddy is powered by three 12-volt batteries, making it eco-friendly and low maintenance.

* A high-tech speed controller and neutral throttle braking make operating the pusher simple for anyone.

* The AircraftCaddy’s ergonomic design reduces the chance of chronic injuries from repetitive motions.

Lift the Burden from Your Staff with the Easy to Use WasteCaddyLite – Trash Container Mover

Highlighting the WasteCaddyLite — DJ Products WasteCaddyLite

Did you know that most injuries at a multi-family property occur in the trash room? Create a safer workplace while saving time, money and manpower with the WasteCaddyLite Trash Container Mover from DJ Products.

Why Choose the WasteCaddyLite?

As DJ Products’ Jeremy Nuehring explains, “The WasteCaddyLite will lighten the work load, open up maintenance staff’s availability for other tasks at their buildings, and reduce the possibilities of workers comp claims with the click of a button.”

Linda Kadel, Community Manager from First Service Residential, offers this perspective from actual users of the WasteCaddyLite Trash Container Mover:

“I would like to thank you once again for your assistance and guidance in our purchase of WasteCaddyLites for our ten buildings. Our porters are certainly appreciative of the burden that has been lifted from their daily chores. One porter is able to handle their own building with ease. Prior to this, it took a team to move a full dumpster.”

Ms. Kadel goes on to say that First Service has been using the WasteCaddyLites for nearly a year with no performance issues.

WasteCaddyLite Features and Benefits

TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor Lets You Use Regular Staff to Move Trailers – No CDL Needed!

After nearly two years, the transportation industry continues to grapple with a shortage of available and qualified truck drivers, which is having a ripple effect on the country’s supply chain. Keep your drivers on the road and out of the yard with a TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor from DJ Products.

Are Your Truck Drivers Actually Driving?

Just how deeply is this problem affecting companies? Ryan Dezurik of DJ Products relates a conversation one of our Sales Engineers recently had during a meeting with one of the top global event agencies.

According to the agency’s representative, “Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being spent annually to keep a CDL licensed driver on site to move trailers in and out of dock doors at their 39 locations across five countries.” This is time and money that would be better spent on actually transporting shipments from one location to another.

Save Time and Money with a TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor

So what’s the solution? Our TrailerCaddy Terminal Tractor doesn’t require a specialized license for operation. As Dezurik explains, “The process to pull loaded trailers out of dock doors to stage for drivers and bring empty trailers into the docks for loading can be streamlined to help increase efficiency and save money.”

An In-Depth Look at the TrailerCaddy

Let’s take a look at what makes the TrailerCaddy a vital resource for any transportation company.

This streamlined yet powerful yard truck allows a single person to move trailers weighing up to 100,000 pounds.
The 48-volt battery system is eco-friendly and provides long run times.
Forward-facing operation and precise speed control improve safety and make it easier to maneuver trailers around the yard.
Cost is less than 25 percent of a new shunt truck and there’s no expensive maintenance.
No CDL or health card is required, so any employee can operate the TrailerCaddy. Eliminate wasted time waiting for a hostler or other specially qualified staffer.

Manufacturing Industry Shifting Gears Amid Supply Chain Disruptions

One memorable example of a widespread product shortage began in 2020 in the middle of the pandemic. Toilet paper was out of stock everywhere – from local grocery stores to online retailer giants like Amazon. While supply chain has always been an integral aspect of businesses, the pandemic-fueled toilet paper shortage and resulting hysteria it caused, sparked a magnified focus on product inventory for companies worldwide. Supply chain breakdown has impacted nearly every industry; especially manufacturing. Companies have been forced adapt to these shifts and look at changing production process to ensure they’re able to deliver their product in a timely manner. According to Industry Today, here are three principles that supply chain-focused employees can implement to adapt to supply-related woes:

Examine Your Process and Deliver

Taking a step back, many leaders in manufacturing have begun to pinpoint weak areas in their own supply chain (including distance and inventory waste) and implement new solutions. Recent research has found that 91% of Chief Supply Chain Officers agree that fixing supply chain issues is important to their business’s success.

Stay Prepared

Change is the only constant. Planning for the future by monitoring data, shipping analytics and economic trends is key to staying ahead of the game and continuing to deliver according to customer expectations.

Customers Dictate Agenda

Meeting customer needs is more than simply delivering a good or service on time. Finding ways to ensure customers’ many needs are met is paramount. Setting expectations on expected delivery timeframe ensures the customer is in the know. Customer expectations ultimately shape the supply chain agenda. We are happy to report that DJ Products has continued to operate with no disruption to service amid the global pandemic. Please reach out to a sales engineer (phone: 1-800-686-2651, email: info@djproducts.com) if you’re interested in a material handling solution for your business!

VIDEO: Improving Safety and Efficiency with CarCaddy & TruckCaddy Vehicle Moving Solutions

CarCaddy and TruckCaddy solutions take the manual work out of relocating inoperable vehicles. Here are three reasons to consider a battery-powered vehicle moving solution.

Prevent Employee Injury

Employees at auto repair shops, vehicle testing facilities and dealerships often push vehicles by hand; sometimes several times a day. This repeated manual exertion can result in back, neck or shoulder injury and pain. To keep your employees safe, consider investing in a CarCaddy or TruckCaddy vehicle moving solution.

Boost Your Business’s Efficiency

Utilizing multiple people to manually push an inoperable vehicle is not only unsafe, but inefficient. A battery-powered CarCaddy or TruckCaddy allows one person to easily relocate a car or truck. In turn, this allows other employees to take care of other tasks, thus streamlining your business’s operation.

Options to Fit Your Needs

Whether you relocate light vehicles under 5,000 lbs. or heavy trucks up to 50,000 lbs., we have a solution to fit your needs. Check out the video below to see the CarCaddy & TruckCaddy units in action! Don’t hesitate to reach out to a sales engineer at 1-800-686-2651 for more information.[recent_posts style=”slider_multiple_visible” category=”pushing-cars-and-trucks” columns=”1″ button_color=”Accent-Color” hover_shadow_type=”default” order=”DESC” orderby=”date”]
