The V-move Shopping Cart Pusher or Shopping Cart Retriever has developed over the past 10 years in response to a need for a premium quality cart pusher that was powerful enough to push a full load of carts on hills, has an AC brushless motor to eliminate regular motor repairs and catastrophic motor failures, and has a very durable heavy-duty transaxle to reduce costly replacements.
The Verhagen Leiden V-move® XL+ shopping cart pusher or cart retriever is used by major grocery chains and retailers around the world. Verhagen Leiden, the manufacturer of the V-move tugs, has been manufacturing premium quality load movers for over 37 years.
Save LOTS of money with the V-move XL+ shopping cart retriever.
Save labor: If you are manually collecting and returning carts to the entrance, then you will save a bundle. Our cart retriever can easily move 50+ carts at a time (maybe more or less depending on cart size/cart weight/nesting) and can move more carts than the competition faster up a hill.
Save on worker injuries and your worker's compensation insurance: Most states and provinces protect workers by stipulating the maximum weight a worker can push. For example, a male employee should not exert a pushing force of more than 57 lb initially or 37 lb for females (source BC WorkSafe). That works out to about 5 average carts, at most, and much less on a hill.
Save on repair costs versus the competition: We use an AC motor that doesn't have brushes and has more torque at a lower rpm, keeping you propelled on hills. We have a heavy-duty transaxle so when your employee drives the cart off a curb by accident, you can rely on the V-move XL+ to take the punishment.
More Reliability due to higher quality parts: We use high-quality motors, transaxles, batteries, chargers, and other components that are mostly made in Europe or USA to increase your up-time and extend your asset life. For example, our ignition keyed switch in the shopping cart pusher is the same high-quality weather-resistant switch that you will also find on top Italian motorbikes.
Longer run times and save on batteries: We recommend optional Lithium-ion batteries so you are not replacing lead-acid batteries every year, which is easier on the environment and your pocketbook. We use custom tug programming for Lithium-ion and a lithium-ion compatible charger.
Lower capital costs: With the use of the reliable V-Move XL+ shopping cart pusher, you probably won't have a need for spare cart tuggers sitting around anymore.
The V-Move XL+ walk-along battery-powered shopping cart pusher or cart retriever has wireless remote control, a custom cartwheel hitch receiver, and a long cord with a quick ratchet to hold the carts together. You can even add a tow hitch to pull waste bins, a snowplow, and add weight plates so it has added traction in snow, on ice, and on slopes. Optional tire chains allow you to use it on ice.
This V-Move shopping cart pusher or cart retriever tug uses the latest Curtis CAN-bus computer controller with built-in shielding of EMI/RFI, top-quality maintenance-free batteries, and Bluetooth-capable water and dust-proof UL/CSA-approved charger. With the included tilting handle, the V-Move shopping cart pusher has one of the smallest footprints of any walk-along tug allowing you to get into tight spots. The AC motor doesn't generate any sparks as most DC motors do, so it is less likely to ignite flammable gasses than the DC motor tugs.

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.
