The CartCaddy(TM), manufactured by DJProducts, Inc. of Minneapolis, is a small, maneuverable, walk behind battery-powered tug for pushing and pulling heavy carts and wheeled equipment. The unit is design to prevent the strains and pains on employees caused by the manual pushing and pulling of carts in manufacturing and distribution environments.
DJProducts introduced their stainless steel model for food, pharmaceutical, and all companies that have concerns in extremely sterile environments where paint or powder coatings are prohibited. The stainless steel unit can now be utilized in these areas and reduce the risk of a potential strain or pain.
Strains, pains, and injuries due to over-extending the body can become very costly on employers. Cost conscious ergonomic and safety equipment, like the CartCaddy(TM), when used for prevention can easily pay for itself almost immediately.
The CartCaddys variable speed twist grips allow it to easily maneuver up to 15,000 lb. carts in tight areas. With its compact, 36-volt motor being powered by 3 12v batteries, the unit can perform without re-charging for an entire shift.
