We are a specialist UK Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) of pedestrian operated, battery powered, electric tugs and electric utility vehicles for moving, pushing, pulling and maneuvering industrial loads.
Believing there was potential to re-engineer and develop the original 1960’s Power Pusher (used to push cars in garages) for the global Material Handling market, Nu-Star Material Handling Ltd. was founded in October 2001 in a garage in rural Derbyshire.
Since then, the company and product range has grown year-on-year and is now based in a purpose-built 11,000 sq.ft factory in Ednaston, Derbyshire. Exports to Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Australia and New Zealand now account for over 83% of total sales.
Our robust electric tugs are carefully designed to be as simple and reliable as possible and are built to last. We use the best quality materials and components that we can source from both the UK and across the world. We take great pride in the fact that break-downs and parts replacements are a rarity and that the majority of our customers maintain the machines themselves or, utilise their existing local MHE supplier to do so. We strongly believe product reliability, durability and robustness is more important than our spare parts business.
Whether it is supplying one of our standard electric wheelbarrows or by working with a customer and using our engineering experience and 3D SolidEdge CAD software to provide a bespoke solution for their specific load moving problem, we target the same end result for our customers: Increased productivity, improved Health & Safety benefits for your employees and a demonstrable return on investment.
