What size electric car pusher do I need?
For a vehicle on pneumatic tires weighing up to 10,000 lb on a flat surface, the CarCaddy electric car pusher is a published option. It has a padded, adjustable push pad, a 36V three-battery system, and 0–3 mph forward and reverse travel. Confirm tire condition, actual vehicle weight, surface, grade and contact point before using a pusher.
For heavier vehicles or an incline, ask about the CarCaddy Heavy Duty motor/transaxle power upgrade, which the product page describes for applications up to 30,000 lb. If pulling a vehicle is preferable to pushing it, compare the CarCaddyVP 12K, listed for vehicles up to 12,000 lb.
For an auto-repair example, watch the CarCaddy customer demonstration at an auto repair facility from DJ Products.
The CarCaddy electric car pusher is a battery-operated and optimized unit used to push vehicles with pneumatic tires, up to 10,000 lbs. on a flat surface. If you need to move larger vehicles (up to 30,000 lbs.) and/or are working with an incline, you can also choose the Heavy Duty Motor/Transaxle Power Upgrade.
How can a repair shop or vehicle lot move a disabled car?
When a car cannot move under its own power, the CarCaddy can push a vehicle with pneumatic tires across a flat, suitable surface. Its standard published limit is 10,000 lb; the optional heavy-duty motor/transaxle upgrade is listed for vehicles up to 30,000 lb. Check the actual vehicle weight, tire condition, grade and a sound push contact point before choosing the configuration.
The adjustable padded push pad helps make controlled contact with the vehicle, while the variable-speed control lets the operator position it in a shop or lot. Train operators for the site and follow the operating instructions; the equipment does not eliminate injury or vehicle-damage risk. For an application that calls for pulling instead, compare the CarCaddyVP 12K.
