Reduce your labor and time to move wheeled loads up to 150,000 lbs in cleanroom or heavy washdown applications.



Shakopee, Minn.–NuStar, Inc. introduces a new stainless steel pedestrian-operated, battery-operated Power Pusher. This stainless steel pusher is ideal for moving heavy rolling loads in the manufacture or distribution of pharmaceuticals, food, nutriceuticals, health/beauty aids or other products in a cleanroom or heavy washdown application.

It is significantly less expensive than a forklift and operators do not need a license. 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 is easily stored at a jobsite and is easy to transport from site to site. It’s the perfect tool for those companies that want to be environmentally proactive. One person can use the nimble Power Pusher to efficiently and safely push, pull and maneuver wheeled loads up to 150,000 lbs., or those with high rolling resistance.
