V-Move 4XL load mover
Moves 40+ MT or 88,185+ lb

The most powerful walk-along electric tug!

The V-Move 4XL walk-along heavy-duty industrial electric load mover is our premium top-of-the-line tug that is ideal for moving loads up to 88,185 lb or 40 MT and lifting loads up to 15,432 lb or 7 MT.

When using maximum counterweights, the 4XL has been known to move loads up to 80 MT or 176,000 lb and up to 450 MT or 1,000,000 lb when on rails. However, the engineers don’t recommend those extremes and will recommend lower limits to ensure you can stop safely and fast. We feel more comfortable with an upper limit of about 525,000 lb when pulling/pushing a load on rails. Get the job done fast and safely at up to 3.1 mph or 5 km/hr.

The 4XL heavy-duty industrial load mover is the most powerful and most capable walk-along electric tug. The V-Move 4XL has maintenance-free AC motors and is designed to move and stop the loads safely and without any effort from the user. An AC motor has advantages over a DC motor such as lower total cost of ownership, flatter torque curve, smooth acceleration and de-acceleration, and better for hazardous or explosive applications. See this site for real-world examples of AC vs DC motors: AC vs DC Motor

Due to our dual drive motor design and top quality and highly rated tires, this V-Move heavy-duty industrial tug has maximum traction. When properly equipped, you can use the standard tires in the snow with caution. See our tire and wheel page for advice on winter usage. Where ever you can drive a hard-wheeled forklift, you can drive the V-move 4XL. This is the 2nd most powerful walk-along load mover after our V-move 40T.

This V-Move tug uses the latest Curtis CAN-bus computer controller, a Motive flooded 'forklift' style battery pack for up to 8 hours run time, a US-made UL/CSA approved charger and almost all other components are European-made. With the included tilting handle, the 4XL has a reduced footprint allowing you to get into tighter spots to get at loads.

Our 4XL heavy-duty industrial tugs have the option to use a larger capacity Motive AGM battery pack or high capacity Lithium-ion and we also have optional super-fast opportunity chargers.

The V-Move 4XL heavy-duty load mover can be used to push and pull any loads on wheels or rails such as waste compactors, buses, trucks, cars, industrial rolls, helicopters, small planes, boats, trailers, carts, train cars or small trains, etc. See our FAQ page for answers to many of your questions about the 4XL heavy-duty load mover.

Combined with Verhagen Leiden, we have over 60 business years of material handling experience.

We have had great success with the purchase of a couple Tug units. They are a great way as another option for pull out service. Michael has been a pleasure to work with and provides outstanding customer service.
