Simpac

Moving cumbersome textile roll trolleys

Simpac is a packaging company that manufactures high-quality bagging and wrapping solutions for retail, food, agricultural and industrial customers in the UK and globally.

When you open a piece of product packaging, it isn’t easy to imagine how it started its life. Most paper or plastic wrapping comes from a huge textile roll, often several meters in length and densely packed, making for one heavy item that’s too tricky to carry manually – even using several pairs of hands! Also challenging for manufacturers like Simpac is keeping their textile materials off the floor, clean and free from potential contaminants.

The company’s Hull-based facility contacted our team to enquire about a powerful electric tow tug to pull their cumbersome textile roll trolleys around the site. After an initial chat to clarify their requirements, our team suggested Simpac consider the ever-popular and trusted V-Move XL-HD electric tug from Verhagen Leiden.

This heavy-duty towing device is one of our most purchased items, proving the tug of choice for customers in all sectors – and with good reason. It makes light work of any tough job, easily towing loads up to 5,000kg without compromise. While highly durable and robust, it is a compact, straightforward unit with an abundance of optional extra fittings, including couplings, hitches and security features. Depending on its use, the powerful battery stays charged all day, often up to two days at a time, so it’s a reliable solution in any setting.

After demonstrating the V-Move XL-HD towing unit at the Simpac facility, the team agreed it was exactly what was needed to move their trolleys safely. They chose to have it delivered as a standard unit with no modifications – a straightforward solution to make life easier and safer for their production teams.

Since purchasing the V-Move XL-HD tow tug many years ago, it continues to work effectively, is used daily without issues and has never required any repairs or been serviced. A robust and reliable solution to our customer’s problem, and they appreciate our friendly team is here to help should they ever need our support.
