How to Determine Which Load Mover You Need?
1.
The first thing we always ask when determining the best unit for you is how many people does it take to move your cart. It doesn’t matter how much it weighs, what kind of wheels it has or the condition of the floor. A 1000 lb. cart on glare ice moves very easily but that same cart on shag carpet would be very difficult to move. If it takes three guys to move the cart in a customer’s facility then it doesn’t take more than 300 lbs. of “Draw-bar pull” to get the cart moving. The Xtra-400 would be the best choice for this application.
2.
The second part of the evaluation is to determine the best way to connect the Load Mover to the cart to be moved. There are a number of different attachments that connect the two items together. It could be as simple as a Ball or Pintle Hitch, or more automated using an Electric 5th Wheel and "U" shaped Hook. A picture of the cart often times works the best to get a recommendation for a solution to the customer's needs.
3.
The third and final area to discuss is the type of batteries, special programming for the controller, or any other minor details that a specific customer may need. After reviewing all three steps with the customer a formal quote along with drawings of the unit and its attachments are supplied.
