Buying guide
Pick a cart pusher by the heaviest loaded cart, the casters under it and the length of the shift. Send us those and a photo of the cart.
Cart weight
Cart pushers here move 1,000 to 20,000 lb. The CartCaddyLite models and the dialysis cart mover take carts up to 1,000 lb. The CartCaddy5W moves up to 7,000 lb, or 10,000 lb with the high output controller option. The CartCaddy4SC and the Roll Pusher push up to 20,000 lb.
Ratings depend on the floor, the incline and the wheels on the cart. A cart with worn or seized casters takes far more force, so fix the wheels before you size the machine.
Casters and attachment
The casters under your cart decide the attachment. The CartCaddy5W latches to the swivel end of a cart with two swivel and two fixed wheels. The CartCaddy4SC and the dialysis cart mover take carts on four swivel casters, and the dialysis mover lifts the front of the cart with a J hook.
Custom attachments are offered on several models. A photo of the cart from the side and from below lets us specify it.
Battery and shift length
The CartCaddy5W runs 4 to 8 hours on a charge, depending on the load. The CartCaddyLite runs up to 6 hours, and the dialysis cart mover and the CartCaddy4SC up to 16 hours.
The CartCaddy5W charges from a standard 120 volt outlet. For washdown or sanitary areas, the CartCaddy5W also comes with a stainless steel frame.

Questions
Do we need to change our carts?
No tow arms are needed. The pusher latches to the cart itself. Some carts need a small receiver or a custom attachment, which we specify from your photo.
Is a cart pusher or a tugger better?
A pusher drives one cart at a time and steers it precisely through tight spaces. A tugger tows a train of carts over longer routes. Tell us the route and we suggest one.
Is there a model for hospitals?
Yes. The CartCaddyLite hospital models and the dialysis cart mover are built for carts up to 1,000 lb in healthcare buildings.
How fast do cart pushers go?
Up to 3 mph forward and reverse, set by a twist grip or thumb control, so the operator walks at a normal pace.
How much can an electric cart pusher move?
The CartCaddyLite hospital models and the dialysis cart mover handle carts to 1,000 lb, the CartCaddy5W 7,000 lb, and the CartCaddy4SC and the roll pusher 20,000 lb carts and paper rolls.
How do I get a price?
Call us or send the form. Tell us what you move, the route and your ZIP. We send a written quote with the machine, freight and build time.
How does it arrive?
Most machines go by freight truck from the factory. Parts and smaller items can go by FedEx or UPS. Freight to your ZIP is on your quote before you order. Rush and overnight shipping cost extra. We sell and ship to US addresses only.
What warranty comes with it?
EK Tech covers Pony Express tuggers for 2 years on the frame and drive and 1 year on other parts. For DJ Products and Autoquip equipment, ask us.
