Battery-powered chassis mover designed for safety, productivity

user-gravatar Headshot

Appleton Manufacturing Division says its Roll Mover is suited for safely moving large chassis or heavy vehicles during and after manufacturing. Portable and tether-free, the battery-powered RollMover is designed to allow a single operator to easily move the heaviest rollable loads without tangled air hoses snaking across the shop floor, a common problem when using pneumatic movers.

Workers can increase productivity while freeing up tow motors and forklift operators for more demanding tasks, according to Appleton, and the convenience of a battery-powered mover helps decrease worker injuries that can result when attempting to push heavy loads by hand. A toggle handle with variable-speed throttle facilitates operating efficiency, while a rugged gearbox is designed to turn industrial-grade drive rollers that can push and maneuver any large product on wheels.

An easy-change quick-charge battery, combined with overall rugged construction, provides for extended use in demanding work environments, the company says. For more information, go to www.appletonmfg.com.
