Hopper Events found the answer to their load moving problems with the Nu-Star MUV Trailer Mover

Hopper Events are a Sheffield based company specialising in events such as exhibitions, brand activation, PR activity and live broadcast events. They’ve worked with some big brands including Glenlivet, Gillette and the BBC.

Hopper Events were hired as the Event Production Agency for latest brand activation work for Affinity Water which led them to Nu-Star.

Affinity Water’s campaign ‘Save Our Streams’, was the UK’s biggest ever water saving initiative. The event involved showcasing an enormous bath in eight towns in the Affinity Water region across an eight week period.  The objective was to raise awareness and encourage people to sign-up to the campaign to help everyone waste less water, and save our streams.

Many of the town event locations were indoor shopping centres which came with a number of challenges, namely limited space and restrictions around vehicle usage indoors and exhaust fumes. This is when Hopper Events founder (Andrew Harrison) turned to Google for help and found the Nu-Star Trailer Mover, whilst looking for a machine to help them manoeuvre a heavy load indoors.

The Nu-Star MUV Trailer Mover is an electric-powered tug designed to move trailers by hand up to 2,500kg. The Trailer Mover is the perfect piece of material handling equipment for when space is limited and only a small turning circle is available. The MUV Trailer Mover is compatible with all common towing systems, including a tow ball, pintle or towing ring hitch and is completely zero-emissions rendering it suitable for indoor use as are all of the Electric Tugs in the Nu-Star product range.

When asked why Andrew Harrison had chosen the Nu-Star MUV Trailer Mover, he replied “The campaign involved a huge bath tub on a flatbed trailer and we needed to ensure that we could position the trailer accurately in town and city centre sites. The MUV Trailer Mover allowed us to manoeuvre the bath tub trailer into position in tight spaces, moving it around street furniture, lamp posts and other features at each location. The MUV Trailer mover was easy-to-use and silent - with no engine or exhaust to worry about. Nu-Star provided the perfect solution to our load moving problem.”

Hopper Events chose the flexible hire option and hired the MUV Trailer Mover across the eight week event period.
