How ALLpaQ & High Purity New England, a Getinge Company, are shaping the future of biomanufacturing.
Dec 04th, 2025
We’re proud to announce that we’ve partnered with MasterMover – a world-leading manufacturer of electric tugs designed to aid efficient and safe manual handling in the scientific industry.
Given that we specialise in manufacturing cutting-edge bioprocess containers, particularly for those in biomanufacturing, we thought it would be in our clients’ best interests to form a partnership!
MasterMover cleanroom electric tugs provide an excellent solution for our shared customers, but how will the collaboration improve manual handling for companies in the bioscience sector?
Let’s take a look.
Electric tugs are machines used in industry to manoeuvre heavy wheeled loads across short distances safely, such as trolleys and containers. These impressive load-moving solutions are commonplace in warehouses and laboratory cleanrooms as they can be navigated in tight spaces.
Electric tugs are super easy to operate and do all the heavy lifting for you, reducing the need for awkward and strenuous manual handling.
These handy appliances can pull, push and steer in any direction and position loads wherever you need to leave them, making them an excellent addition to your internal logistics processes!
Electric tugs are battery-powered systems that utilise weight transfer to gain traction, allowing the movement of substantial loads.
To get started, the wheeled load that needs moving is connected to the tug using a secure coupling system and rigid connection points. This helps to facilitate the weight transfer required to transfer whatever you’re manoeuvring across your facility, such as ALLpaQ bioprocess containers.
To meet the needs of your bioscience applications and guarantee optimum performance, there are various coupling options to choose from.
After the load has been coupled, the machine is switched on using a key and operated by an individual who walks behind, dictating the direction using a tiller.
Electric tug systems are introduced to internal handling processes to move loads, such as media totes, bioprocess containers, vessels and chromatography columns across storage areas, laboratories and research facilities.
Many companies in the following sectors have started implementing the use of these machines to optimise operations:
Did you know that manual handling injuries account for over 33% of all workplace injuries in Britain? MasterMover electric tugs can ensure that you stay compliant with ISO 45001, the international standard for health and safety, by reducing the risk of manual handling injuries.
But how exactly can they do this? Well, electric tugs eliminate the need for strenuous physical effort by reducing handling times and utilising weight transfer to manoeuvre the load.
What’s more, operators can work faster without tiring, aiding productivity in the workspace.
Enhance your health and safety efforts and boost productivity with MasterMover electric tugs – the best solution for moving your cleanroom container systems.
ALLpaQ provides a customisation service that can adapt any of our plastic bioprocess containers or stainless steel equipment to work seamlessly with your specific MasterMover electric tug.
