Vehicle Pushers Reduce Injury Risk

DJ Products’ ergonomically designed vehicle pushers, movers and tugs can significantly decrease the risk of injury in the plant, out on the lot and on the assembly line. These products provide the perfect solution for vehicles or equipment that have straight wheels or are moved on a rail. They can be used in any application where no turning is involved or where an operator will turn the wheels.

Why risk costly injury to workers or damage to vehicles? Our vehicle movers push vehicles safely from behind, preventing workers from straining or over-extending muscles. The push pad on our vehicle movers is made of a soft, durable, padded material designed to prevent scratching or damage to the vehicle.

We produce several vehicle pushers to meet a variety of material handling needs:

CarCaddy. The battery-powered CarCaddy car and vehicle pusher is perfect for moving stopped or stalled vehicles that do not need to be steered and have pneumatic tires, including cars, trucks, campers, buses and machinery. The CarCaddy is the perfect solution for moving vehicles at dealerships and service centers and along highways. It excels in moving vehicles or equipment from station to station down a production line.

TrailerCaddy. The heavy-duty electric TrailerCaddy can be used to push and pull equipment trailers, RVs, campers and boats. It’s designed to move vehicles that must be lifted at one end before maneuvering that are usually pulled down the highway by a car or truck. The Trailer Caddy is the ideal solution for moving vehicles around a show room or trade show floor. It’s also ideally suited for moving trailers down an assembly line. A trailer lift kit is available.

DealerCaddy. The ideal vehicle mover for car and truck dealerships, this multi-purpose, battery-powered car, truck and trailer pusher can move vehicles up to 10,000 pounds. The adjustable-height push pad was created to contour to the rear bumper of any vehicle. Flip it back to expose a ball hitch for pulling cargo or trailers. With a heavy duty flat bed for hauling heavy tool boxes, equipment and supplies, the DealerCaddy does it all.

CartCaddyLH. A battery-powered electric tug, the CartCaddyLH has enough juice to manage your heaviest equipment loads. Designed to push and pull 10,000 to 50,000 pounds, the heavy-duty CartCaddyLH can push or pull just about anything on wheels. Compact and maneuverable, the CartCaddyLH has a 5th wheel option and customized attachment to provide multiple solutions.

Increase Efficiency and Safety with a Car Pusher

If you own a car care center or car dealership that offers repairs or then you probably already know that vehicle manufacturers use car pushers to help keep things moving during the assembly process but you may not have considered how a car pusher can be an asset in your business as well.

Streetdirectory.com explained why a car pusher could be a good investment:
“A good car pusher is not very big and it is compact, thus allowing pushing and even pulling wheeled equipment. Such a pusher is a good investment because it allows a business to save workmen hours. Imagine for example working in a car repair center and having to push cars around all day long. Your body will be tired and you will have aching muscles or even worse strained muscles.”

A CarCaddy car pusher from DJ Products makes it much easier to move cars, trucks, buses and even RVs. This makes things so much safer for your employees and your customers as well. Your employees will not feel as strained and even if you don’t allow customers near the work area, your facility will be safer overall because our car pushers can help move vehicles even in tight quarters. Workers who experience muscle strain that does not require them to stop working may be reluctant to speak up but their work will suffer and you want your workers at their best.
