CarCaddy Power Movers

Applications for Power Movers

The CarCaddy™ Power Movers is a battery powered. electric vehicle pusher for pushing stalled vehicles that generally have pneumatic tires like a car, truck, camper, bus, and other machinery that doesn't need to be steered by the CarCaddy® battery powered power mover. Many manufacturers of the named items use CarCaddy® Power Mover to push the units short distances down a production line from station to station. Our Car Movers also have plenty of power to push stalled vehicles at service centers and along highways.

Benefits for Power Movers

The primary benefit of using the CarCaddy® Power Movers is to prevent the strains and pains associated with pushing stalled cars, buses, and heavy trucks. These strains and pains result from over extending the body when manually pushing cars from the parking lot into a service center garage, or pushing a stalled vehicle from the centerline of the highway to the shoulder. When CarCaddy® Power Movers is used for these routine tasks, pains and strains are minimized, which reduces workman's compensation and insurance claims. According to OSHA's recently released ergonomics standard proposal, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD's), such as tendonitis low back pain, account for $20 billion in workers compensation costs each year and 34% of all lost workday injuries.

The CarCaddy mover has plenty of power and also helps in preventing damages associated with moving these stalled vehicles with another vehicle. In cases where manpower is not available, other vehicles are used to bump up against the back end of the stalled vehicle. This causes dents, scratches, and cracks to both vehicles. The CarCaddy® Power Movers front push pad is made from soft, durable, padded material designed to preserve the paint and integrity of the back end of the stalled vehicle.
