Based in Glasgow, Andrew Muirhead
& Son manufactures seating leather
and is part of the Scottish Leather
Group.Muirhead’s engineering
manager, Alec Bryceland, first
contacted Nu-Star in May 2003 as he
wanted to reduce the manpower
needed to move 2000kg trestles used
in the tanning process.

Due to their size, weight and four
swivel castor configuration, the
trestles required up to four staff to
move them and occasional use of a
forklift truck.

Nu-Star recommended its
PowerTug, and Andrew Muirhead
has now purchased four such units.
Bryceland says: “We have found
the PowerTugs to be very manageable
and compact with the added value of
the safety features installed as
standard.What once required up to
four people to move about is now
easily done by one person and has
saved us both time and space in the
operation and improved our safety
record.”
