Power Pusher Fleet Increased At Rollalong
Rollalong Ltd, leading UK manufacturer of portable, temporary, semi-permanent and permanent buildings, have recently added two further Nu-Star Power Pushers to their existing fleet of four units.
A representative from JCB Loadall, explained; "Waiting for an available fork-truck to move these trolleys wasted time and the size of the fork-truck turning circle took up valuable floor space.
We assessed a variety of possible solutions but none of them was as flexible or rugged as the Power Pusher.
By welding a simple attachment on to our trolleys we can use the Power Pusher to move a variety of loads on site.
This has helped increase the work flow and freed up valuable floor space." Typically used to help increase productivity and as an aid to health and safety by reducing the likelihood of workplace injury, the Power Pusher is a pedestrian operated, battery powered, tug unit designed for pushing, pulling and manoeuvring rolling loads in a wide variety of industrial applications.
Measuring just 1.4m long and 670mm wide, the Power Pusher is completely self-contained, has its own on-board battery charging system (240V or 110V input), may be used both inside and outside and often replaces a more expensive forklift in factories.
Nu-Star offer a bespoke design and manufacturing service to meet demand from an ever growing range of industrial customers across Europe.
Matthew Smith (Nu-Star's Managing Director) commented; "It was especially pleasing to win this order from such a prestigious local company and knowing that JCB evaluated the Power Pusher against several other possible solutions.".
