The CartCaddyShorty is a compact, battery-powered cart puller designed for tight spaces and precise maneuvering in industrial and manufacturing environments. Engineered with worker safety and ergonomics in mind, this electric tugger is ideal for moving carts and equipment weighing up to 3,000 lbs.
As the smallest and most maneuverable tugger on the market, the CartCaddyShorty excels in confined areas where space is limited. Its compact size and powerful motor make it perfect for applications involving carts with two swivel and two straight casters, allowing for smooth and controlled movement.
Despite its small footprint, the CartCaddyShorty delivers impressive push/pull power. It easily handles carts carrying items like bins of washers, steel sheets, or even food production materials such as cookie dough. Whether you’re moving parts, tools, or raw materials, this electric cart tugger ensures efficient and safe transport.
Equipped with a 36-volt battery system (three 12-volt batteries), the CartCaddyShorty provides up to 16 hours of continuous use, enough to power through two full shifts without recharging. This extended battery life maximizes productivity and minimizes downtime.
The variable-speed twist grip allows for smooth forward and reverse operation at speeds from 0 to 3 mph. This ergonomic feature reduces the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome and gives operators precise control, especially when navigating tight turns or intricate pathways.
A rear safety stop switch immediately cuts power and brings the unit to a rolling stop within 2 feet, helping prevent injuries. If the operator is pinned, the unit will only move forward slowly to allow safe unpinning—an essential safety feature for any industrial equipment.
The spring-loaded hitch and customizable attachment options eliminate the need for modifying each cart. The hitch quickly and securely connects to the bottom of your cart, enabling easy push/pull operation without manual adjustments.
Once attached, the CartCaddyShorty can pivot 180 degrees under the arm, allowing for 90-degree turns without jackknifing or manually repositioning the cart. This feature enhances maneuverability and reduces strain on the operator.

The CartCaddyLite electric cart puller can help avoid back strain for many people in the healthcare industry. Doctors, nurses, technicians, maintenance workers, and more can benefit from using this piece of equipment to efficiently complete some of their day-to-day tasks, all while avoiding unnecessary workplace injuries.
Linen carts used to transport linens to and from patient rooms are often very large and difficult to move through the constricted hallways of a nursing home, clinic, or hospital. Pushing carts repeatedly throughout the day can cause chronic neck and back strain and pain for workers. The CartCaddyLite is a perfect solution: it reduces stress and cuts down the risk of workplace injuries.
