MasterMover, a global supplier of electric tugs, has announced the significant expansion of its “PowerSteered” series with six new models to address various material handling challenges.

This expansion builds on an established tradition of excellence and has earned recognition through awards such as the King’s Enterprise Innovation Award and the Manufacturer MX Product Design & Innovation Award. The new additions to the PowerSteered lineup include the PS800+, PS1000+, PS1200+, PS1500+, PS2000+, and PS2500+. These models enhance the existing series, which already includes one of the world’s most powerful electric tug solutions, the PS7000+, offering a wide range of options for businesses.

“The expanded PowerSteered series perfectly embodies MasterMover’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet our customers’ evolving needs in increasingly complex industrial environments,” said James Jones, Partner at MasterMover.

“With these new models, we are not just providing more choices; we are redefining the possibilities of material handling by transforming operations across industries with strength, precision, and innovation combined,” he continued.

The new models come equipped with intuitive power steering, allowing operators to move heavy loads effortlessly. This feature significantly improves ergonomics and maneuverability while offering better positioning when moving the largest wheeled cargo.

“These new models and technologies will have a transformative impact on industries dealing with complex material handling challenges and processes,” Jones commented. “Our latest innovations hold the potential to substantially increase productivity, safety, and operational efficiency in manufacturing and beyond.”

For industries seeking automation, MasterMover’s AGV options featuring linear following navigation or advanced natural feature technology offer a glimpse into the future of material handling. These systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows, paving the way for smarter and more efficient factories and processes.

“As we launch this expanded series, we are not just introducing new products; we are opening up new possibilities for our customers,” Jones added. “From enhancing worker safety to achieving leaner, more flexible operations, these innovations will have an impact felt throughout the supply chain.”

The expanded PowerSteered series is now available globally through MasterMover’s extensive distribution network and direct sales channels.
