Safety a standard feature

Supplier of quality upholstery leather to the airline industry, Andrew Muirhead & Son, first contacted Nu-Star in May 2003 to help reduce the manpower required to move 2000kg trestles in the tanning process. Due to their size, weight and four swivel castor configuration, the trestles required up to four staff to move and also occasional use of a forklift truck.

Nu-Star recommended its PowerTug as the most suitable product and since initial trials in 2003, Andrew Muirhead has now gone on to purchase four such units.

Alec Bryceland,Muirhead's engineering manager, says: "We have found the PowerTugs to be very manageable and compact with the added value of the safety features installed as standard."
