The V-Move 4XL Heavy-Duty Electric Load Mover is one of the most powerful walk-behind electric tugs available, capable of pushing and pulling loads up to 88,185 lb (40,000 kg) while handling tongue weights up to 15,432 lb (7,000 kg). Powered by dual 8 kW maintenance-free AC motors, power steering, and advanced safety systems, the 4XL is designed to move heavy trailers, compactors, industrial equipment, rail carts, buses, boats, and manufacturing loads safely and efficiently.

V-Move 4XL Heavy-Duty Electric Load Mover

The Second Most Powerful Walk-Behind Electric Tug in the V-Move Lineup

When moving extremely heavy loads, standard electric tugs simply aren't enough. The V-Move 4XL was engineered specifically for applications where exceptional traction, pulling force, and operator control are required. With a towing capacity of up to 88,185 lb (40,000 kg), the 4XL is one of the most capable walk-behind electric tugs available today.

Designed and manufactured by Verhagen Leiden in the Netherlands, the V-Move 4XL combines industrial-grade construction, dual-drive AC motor technology, optional hydraulic lifting capability, and electric power steering to move loads that would traditionally require forklifts, tractors, or multiple pieces of equipment.

Built for the Toughest Material Handling Applications

The V-Move 4XL is ideal for moving:

• Waste and recycling compactors
• Roll-off containers and bins
• Industrial trailers
• Manufacturing equipment
• Heavy carts and dollies
• Rail carts and train cars
• Boats and marine trailers
• Buses and commercial vehicles
• Aircraft ground support equipment
• Large industrial rolls and machinery

Whether operating in manufacturing plants, warehouses, recycling facilities, ports, rail yards, distribution centres, or construction sites, the 4XL delivers reliable performance while reducing labour requirements and improving workplace safety.

Massive Pulling Power with Dual 8 kW AC Motors

At the heart of the V-Move 4XL are two independent 8 kW maintenance-free AC drive motors that provide a combined 16 kW (21.5 hp) of power. This dual-drive system generates exceptional traction and pulling force, allowing the machine to move loads on grades up to 20% while maintaining smooth, precise control.

Benefits of the AC drive system include:

• Maintenance-free motor operation
• Smooth acceleration and deceleration
• High starting torque under heavy loads
• Lower operating costs than traditional DC systems
• Improved reliability in demanding environments
• Reduced maintenance requirements

The advanced drive system is designed to move loads safely while minimizing stress on both operators and equipment.

Hydraulic Lift System for Maximum Traction

The V-Move 4XL utilizes an optional hydraulic lifting system that transfers a portion of the load weight onto the tug's drive wheels. This additional downward force dramatically increases traction, enabling the machine to move heavier loads while maintaining control on inclines and uneven surfaces.

By combining hydraulic lifting with dual drive motors, the 4XL delivers outstanding performance in applications where conventional electric tugs struggle to gain sufficient grip.

Electric Power Steering for Precise Maneuverability

Despite its enormous towing capacity, the V-Move 4XL remains easy to operate thanks to integrated electric power steering. Operators can accurately position heavy loads in confined spaces while maintaining excellent visibility and control.

The compact walk-behind design allows the 4XL to access areas where larger tow vehicles and forklifts may be impractical or unsafe.

Advanced Safety Features

Moving heavy loads safely is just as important as moving them efficiently. The V-Move 4XL includes numerous safety features designed to protect both operators and equipment:

• Electromagnetic and hydraulic parking brake
• Belly-button anti-crush safety switch
• Variable 2-step speed control
• Emergency stop functionality
• Multi-function status indicator
• Audible warning horn
• Stable low-centre-of-gravity design

These features help operators maintain complete control during load positioning, towing, and maneuvering operations.

Long Runtime and Flexible Battery Options

The 4XL comes equipped with a large-capacity 48V battery system designed for demanding industrial applications. The standard flooded-cell battery provides a long runtime, while the optional pure lead battery provides a maintenance-free design with fast charging capability and a longer life. If you have multiple shifts and use the tug lots, then the pure lead optional battery pack will be the superior choice.

The included industrial battery charger ensures dependable daily operation with minimal downtime.

Built for Custom Applications

Every facility has unique material handling requirements. The V-Move 4XL can be equipped with a variety of custom coupling systems, counterweights, tire configurations, and battery options to suit your specific application.

Our team works closely with customers to determine the optimal configuration based on:

• Load weight
• Surface conditions
• Grade requirements
• Wheel types
• Turning radius limitations
• Indoor or outdoor operation

We are a large property management company with a need to transport heavy waste bins up through our parkade each week. After years of using an aging tractor, we recently purchased a V-Move tug to:

• Prevent driving an unlicensed ‘vehicle’ (old tractor) in the back lane, which is a huge liability, especially if we were involved in any type of accident with another vehicle or pedestrian.

• Reduce pollution, especially for the driver and other occupants of the parkade.

• Eliminate purchasing, transporting and storing gasoline on site inside our parkade.

• Eliminate dangerous conditions our staff previously faced while operating the tractor.

• Reduce operating costs (fuel and servicing) and downtime.

The service from Xerowaste Solutions has been excellent, with quick response time and clear communications. So far, the V-Move tug has delivered exactly as promised, reducing operating costs while improving safety. We even bought the snow plow attachment and look forward to putting it to use!

Michael was great to work with and went out of his way to accommodate what we needed.

The tug has performed excellent and has made moving the trash/recycling bins a breeze and we are saving a bit on labor.
