Tugger: CartCaddyShorty

Our tugger solves an ergonomic problem of pushing heavy meat carts in food process plant.

DJProducts, Inc. is the world leader in providing equipment movers and tugger to the manufacturing, hospital, and retail markets. An equipment tugger provides solutions that eliminate the pains and strains associated with manually

pushing hospital beds and heavy carts.

Employees pushing these heavy carts are of an aging workforce, so ergonomics and safety are of a bigger concern. Strains, pains, and injuries due to over-extending the body can become very costly on employers. Cost conscious ergonomic and safety equipment, like the CartCaddyShorty tugger, when used for prevention can easily pay for themselves almost immediately.

After inducing a CartCaddyShorty tugger to their facility, they feel the problem is all but eliminated. They have also found an increase in productivity and employee moral from using this tugger.
