Power Pusher

Jan. 22, 2018
Power Pusher's original pusher improves operator safety, reduces manpower and increases plant floor productivity with less downtime.

Nu-Star’s signature Power Pusher improves operator safety, reduces manpower, and increases plant floor productivity with less downtime by transporting heavy loads fast and without excess exertion or muscle strain. Enabling a single person to maneuver from 500 up to 50,000 lb. with total control, the electrically powered, compact tug replaces large, expensive material handling equipment, such as forklifts and tractors. With a wide range of standard or custom attachments available, the tugs are a scalable, flexible solution built to meet specific load requirements.
