Lift Free Products, Inc a Wisconsin corporation located in Brookfield, has developed a safer way of transporting linen carts, as well as other types of carts with four wheels. The MULTI-TUG, is a battery powered vehicle that MECHANICALLY attaches to the carts, unlike other tugs that simply lift the front of the carts off the ground (creating an unstable situation when going up and down ramps or turning corners)

The laundry industry is looking to not only increase productivity and reduce workman compensation claims, but to create an environment of safe transport of carts for the employees and people around them.

The MULTI-TUG does all of these things. First the Multi-Tug has larger batteries for greater capacity and longevity. The Multi-Tug also has a speed control that allows workers to travel at 3.5 MPH while in long secluded hallways or 1-2 MPH for crowded areas. The Multi-tug also has an auto-brake feature for safety.

The best feature of the Multi-tug is that it Mechanically attaches to almost any cart by using a specially designed Universal Hitch (pat. Pend.)

This hitch ensures that the cart will not detach from the tug while driving over a threshold or bump, and run into a wall or, more importantly, a person.

By using a universal hitch, LFP’s MULTI-TUG keeps everyone safe, thereby reducing worker compensation claims and increasing productivity. Even with the addition of the hitches, the Multi-Tug product is less expensive than most competitor tugs on the market today. The manufacturer of the Multi-tug has been building these types of products for many years and, if needed, has the best service network in the business.
