Bespoke equipment
October 1st 2004

Eagle Ottawa manufacturer of top-grain leather for the automotive industry, has taken delivery of two

Nu-Star PowerTugs at its site in Warrington.

The company wanted a means of moving its A-frame trolleys, referred to as horses, that are used to transport leather hides and which used to be pushed/pulled by hand. The combination of swivelling castors and the overall weight of the horses made manoeuvring very difficult.

Nu-star designed a bespoke method of attaching the horses that ensured operators could move them around under complete control and a PowerTug was then trialled by Eagle Ottawa.

Scott Shonamon, general manager, says There has been a substantial improvement in safety and ergonomics in using the Power Tug. They can be modified for multiple applications in pushing and pulling and are quite manoeuvrable in tight places where forklifts cant fit.
