    Frequently Asked Questions

    What types of loads can be moved with an electric tug?

    The tug can be used to move a wide range of wheeled equipment including: Warehouse trolleys Roll cages Parts carts Waste bins Mobile equipment Small trailers Manufacturing line carts Logistics and distribution carts

    Can an electric tug move a loaded trolley?

    Yes. Electric tugs are specifically designed to move loaded trolleys, carts, roll cages, and other wheeled equipment with minimal operator effort. The Astrolift Electric Tug allows a single operator to safely manoeuvre loads that would otherwise require significant manual force or multiple personnel.

    How long does an electric tug battery last?

    Battery operating time depends on the application, including load weight, travel distance, frequency of use, and floor conditions. The Astrolift Electric Tug is fitted with a 24V lithium-ion battery and an onboard battery indicator, allowing operators to monitor charge levels throughout the working day.

    Do electric tugs work on slopes?

    Electric tugs can operate on slight inclines when used within their design limits and under suitable conditions. However, operators should always assess gradients carefully and follow safe operating procedures. The manufacturer advises against parking the tug on slopes and recommends using the equipment on stable, even surfaces whenever possible.

    Why choose an electric tug instead of manual handling?

    Electric tugs help improve workplace safety, reduce operator fatigue, minimise the risk of injuries, and increase productivity. They allow heavy loads to be moved with greater precision and control, making them an ideal solution for businesses looking to improve material handling efficiency while supporting workplace health and safety objectives.

    Do electric tugs require servicing?

    Like any powered equipment, regular maintenance helps ensure safe and reliable operation. Routine servicing typically includes battery inspections, tyre and wheel checks, brake testing, electrical system inspections, and general safety checks.
