MUV 4WD - Radio-controlled electric tug

The latest addition to the Nu-Star MUV product range, the Multiple Utility Vehicle (MUV) 4WD is a radio-controlled, four wheel drive, electric tug with skid-steer.

With equal push & pull capacity in either direction & designed to have a range of attachments bolted to either end of the chassis, the machine might also be described as a 'Push-me, Pull-you' type.

The industrial radio control system has an effective range of up to 500m and consists of two joysticks & up to four additional on/off switches for accessories. Each joystick controls one of the drive motors inside the machine enabling complete 360° turning, on the spot, if necessary.

Since the operator does not have to physically hold the machine for operation, it is possible to stand away from the load and therefore have better visibility in the direction of travel. This is particularly beneficial when pushing larger loads that would otherwise restrict the operators view.

Speed is infinitely adjustable from 0 - 3.7km/h on the standard model but, can be up to 7.7km/h with alternative secondary gearing and larger diameter wheels.

A permanent safety LED strobe is fitted as standard together with a user-switchable motion bleeper to help warn others when the machine is moving a load.
