How Can PowerHandlers Improve Workplace Safety?
Many workplace injuries occur despite the existence of tools and procedures designed to prevent them. The problem, as every Plant Safety Manager can attest, is that workers are prone to taking "short-cuts" — whatever is quickest or easiest.
The key to the PowerHandler's success in reducing workplace injuries is due to a combination of two simple factors:
- Their availability — They are incredibly small machines considering the power that they have, so they can be conveniently located where they will be needed. This eliminates waiting for a forklift or having to walk out of the work area to bring in a larger moving machine.
- Their ease of use — They are incredibly quick and easy to maneuver into position, and powerful enough to move the loads that need to be moved quickly, easily, and safely.
It sounds too simple, but substantial customer feedback has already shown us that if operators like using it, they use it. This has proven to be the key to worker safety in our load moving applications. Providing safer tools that operators want to use, and therefore, do use.
