Less injury risk
April 1st 2004

Two Nu-Star Hi-Torque Power Pushers are used at Churchill Chinas Marlborough Pottery site in Stoke-on-Trent to push and pull rolling loads of up to 40 000kg.

The pedestrian operated, battery powered tug units weigh 150kg and measure 1.4m long by 670mm wide.

They are easy to manoeuvre and completely self-contained, with no trailing wires or air lines. The company says that, in addition to improving shop floor productivity, they reduce the likelihood of back injuries associated with the manual pushing and pulling of rolling loads.

At Churchill China they are fitted with a steering arm attachment that enables the operator to connect to the leading edge of the kiln cars and move them in and out of the kilns and storage area.

The Power Pushers take all the effort out of the job and have a smooth acceleration that stops any jerkiness that could damage the newly fired china.
