Presto Lifts Offers Many Ergonomic Solutions for Loading and Unloading Large Containers.

Posted by on September 11, 2014 Comments Off on Presto Lifts Offers Many Ergonomic Solutions for Loading and Unloading Large Containers.

The effects of manual material handling represent the biggest single contributor to worker injury in the United States and the application of good ergonomic programs can reduce those incidences.

Choosing and operating the proper piece of equipment for the job at hand is one key to reducing injuries in the works place.

Unnecessary and improper worker activities result in bad ergonomics, which can lead to injury. Lifting, Stretching, Reaching, Bending, Stooping and Walking are the motions that need to be addressed in workplace activities.

In the first of a series highlighting Presto Lifts solutions to common Ergonomic problems is a gallery dealing with basket loading and unloading.

Large containers have become a way of life in many manufacturing environments. We’ve become accustomed to seeing various Wire Baskets, Plastic Bulk Boxes and Custom Carts at workstations on a daily basis. These large storage options create many ergonomic problems for the workforce. All of the 6 motions that create bad ergonomics come into play when improperly loading and unloading large containers. Presto Lifts offers many solutions when it comes to the ergonomic problems encountered when loading or unloading these large storage containers.

Presto Lifts Pit Mounted Scissor Lift

Posted by on April 5, 2014 Comments Off on Presto Lifts Pit Mounted Scissor Lift

Some more useful information from Presto Lifts. When installing a lift in a work cell or station, Pit Mounting is the best option. After lowering the lift, it is out of the way and the area is free to use. To allow fork truck traffic you can add the optional “roll over” package to increase stability and rigidity to the unit. Platforms and turntables can be sized to the load, helping to decrease the ergonomic issue or “reach over”. Pit mounted lifts can be loaded or unloaded with a hand pallet truck, reducing the need for a forklift or ramps. Presto Lifts adheres to the ANSI MH 29.1 code which requires some form of toe protection as the lift platform descends into the pit. Shown here: Bevel Toe Guards. Simply put, the 30 degree angle built into the platform gives the worker a physical warning to move their feet from the area.
