Even in warehouses and distribution centers that deal primarily with small products there are occasions where heavy materials, equipment or supplies must be moved. When there are only manual push carts available for transport, the job of moving these heavier materials is often left for the strongest of employees to struggle through, which can result in over-exertion or possible injury.
Having a piece of equipment like the battery powered Tow Tractor from DJ Products can make moving even the heaviest load of materials an easy task for any employee. The Tow Tractor can move in both forward and reverse at speeds of up to three miles an hour allowing employees to rapidly move product and supplies to the required destination with minimal effort.
The Tow tractor comes with a built in safety stop switch located within easy reach of the operating handle. This unique feature can help minimize the chance of accidents in busy or high volume distribution centers.
The Tow Tractor runs on long lasting batteries, which means that there is no struggling with heavy and cumbersome fuel tanks. These battery powered units can continuously operate for up to sixteen hours on a single charge and when recharging is necessary, the unit quickly and easily plugs into a designated charger.
Having a piece of equipment like the Tow Tractor allows employees to perform tasks as they arise, rather than having to wait until more physically capable employees are available. This also makes the job of the human resources department a little easier when it comes time to hire new employees because physical strength won’t need to play as large a part in new employee selection.
