MasterMover Enhances SmartMover Electric Tug Range with SM200+ Launch & SM100+ Upgrade
MasterMover, the award-winning manufacturer of electric tugs, has today unveiled a major investment in its industrial product range with the launch of the SmartMover SM200+, offering a pull and push movement for loads of up to 2,000kg. In addition, the company has released a new version of its SM100+ model, offering a capacity of up to 1,200kg.
The release of both products represents an increase in capability, features and functionality within the SmartMover product suite, which forms part of the MasterMover Compact range of machines.
Both the SM100+ and SM200+ feature hydraulic coupling for maximising load security, with
MasterMover’s standard array of safety features included, such as an easily accessible anti- crush button and intuitive user controls. Slow and faster speed selector options give operators additional control of loads when operating in enclosed spaces.
Both products feature 180 degree steering for precision movement, while the interchangeable sealed battery pack gives operators a simple method of ensuring near-zero downtime. The SM100+ and SM200+ are designed to work in challenging environments, with anti-puncture, non- marking tyres designed to maximise traction and both products featuring the capability to operate in sloping and uneven floor environments.
“MasterMover is committed to supporting our global customer base, and we have done just that with the launch of the SM200+ and SM100+ upgrade,” said Andy Owen, Partner and Director at MasterMover. “Our SmartMover machines are used around the world, and the introduction of the SM200+ now gives our customers a fantastic option when needing a compact, easy-to-use and highly manoeuvrable solution, capable of moving up to 2,000kg.
