Material Handling Tug Devices: A Proactive Approach to Plant Safety that Improves Productivity and Profitability
April 18, 2012 1:17 pm | by Power Pusher | White PapersIn recent years, improving worker safety has become an important focus in most industries, as job-related injuries can result in employee absenteeism, reduced productivity and increased costs.

To overcome these safety challenges, the development of battery-operated tug devices allows employees to single-handedly move materials weighing thousands of pounds without exposing them to unnecessary risk of injury.
