(Shakopee, MN) has introduced a new stainless steel pedestrian-operated, battery-operated Power Pusher. Unlike forklifts or other ride-on equipment, the Power Pusher runs on batteries so it does not consume gasoline, diesel, or propane and does not emit harmful exhaust or fumes. It is significantly less expensive than a forklift and operators do not need a license, says the company. It comes with a built in battery charger that plugs into a standard outlet. With a footprint less than two square yards, the Power Pusher can be stored at a jobsite and transported from site to site. One person can use the Power Pusher to efficiently push, pull, and maneuver wheeled loads up to 150,000 pounds.
