From vehicle adjustments to workplace safety features: whatever your need, there’s an option for that. And if it’s not already on the menu, we might just develop it for you. This article walks you through the key factors to consider to ensure your electric vehicle mover is a perfect fit, without breaking the bank.
The journey to your ideal electric vehicle mover begins with four fundamental questions:
- What type of vehicles will you be moving?
- In what environment will you be moving them?
- How intensely will you need to use your vehicle mover?
- What are the main safety risks at your facility?
The answers will determine the base model and features of your equipment. At CarCaddy, we offer a cost-effective solution that doesn’t sacrifice quality or appearance for price. You aren’t left alone with these decisions; our sales engineers guide you throughout the entire process to ensure you get the best value for your investment.
Laying the foundation: choosing your electric vehicle mover
Getting the capacity right
The most basic categorization of vehicle movers is based on the weight each model is built to handle. We focus on providing robust power at an affordable price point. The CarCaddy Vehicle Puller is designed to pull vehicles up to 7,000 lbs easily, safely, and efficiently.
Unlike expensive, over-engineered alternatives, the CarCaddy offers a streamlined solution. We ensure the mover fits the vehicles you need to move, whether they are vintage classics, super cars, or the SUV all while protecting the bumper and body of the vehicle.
Specific requirements for modern fleets
With a regular mover, the car is often gripped by one wheel pair while the others rotate. However, there is an increased need to move cars with all wheels locked. This is mainly driven by the electrification of the automotive industry, as the wheels of an EV or a car with an electric parking brake are locked when the engine is turned off.
If this challenge affects your business, the CarCaddy electric vehicle mover offers the versatility you need. Features like our Wheel Bonnets with swivel hooks allow for secure attachment, and our AWD Dolly Kit provides the flexibility to handle various scenarios without requiring a massive upfront capital expenditure.
Factoring in the surroundings
Environmental factors are almost as crucial as the vehicle type. When choosing an affordable electric vehicle mover, you must consider your facility’s layout. Thresholds, ramps, or tight corners affect how much ground clearance and maneuverability you need.
The CarCaddy features a low-profile design with variable adjustable arms, making it ideal for loading and unloading almost any vehicle in various environments, from museums to consignment shops.
High-performance for every budget
For some users, the vehicle mover is an integrated part of daily operations. For others, it’s an indispensable tool for critical—but less frequent—tasks.
A private car collector or museum typically uses their mover less intensely than a high-volume repair shop. We understand that you shouldn’t have to pay industrial prices for a machine used in a showroom setting. The CarCaddy Collector’s Edition is a sleek, “sexy” solution designed for where fewer and shorter moves are required. It offers the professional performance you need at a price point that makes sense for you.
Beyond the basics: fine-tuning the details
Battery life that works for you
High-frequency usage calls for reliable power. If you rely on your electric vehicle mover for day-to-day operations, you need a system that minimizes downtime. The CarCaddy comes standard with a 36V 3-battery system and an external battery charger. For those needing even more reliability, we offer optional AGM batteries to ensure your operations run smoothly without costly interruptions.
Options that enhance safety
For many of our customers, staff safety is the main motivator behind investing in an electric vehicle mover. We believe safety shouldn’t be a premium add-on; it should be accessible.
Our units come standard with a safety stop switch, neutral throttle braking, and a shock-assisted ride-on platform to keep operators safe and comfortable. Additionally, features like LED lighting improve visibility in busy environments.
Let there be light
In a busy setting, visibility is key. Our Hi-Beam headlights make visibility easy for “Grab and Go” operations of almost any vehicle, ensuring safe operation even in insufficient lighting conditions.
Customizations that fit your brand
Even with our focus on affordability, we don’t skimp on style or customization. Need your electric vehicle mover to match a specific vehicle or collection? We can do it. From our standard Ferrari Red to Matte Black, Baby Blue, or Pink, we offer color options that allow your equipment to look as good as the cars it moves.
