The Second in a series of Ergonomic Solutions from Prime Alliance Marketing featuring Presto Lifts.
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 second of a series highlighting Presto Lifts solutions to common ergonomic problems is a gallery dealing with pallet loading and unloading.
Pallet loading and unloading has always been an ergonomic problem in many manufacturing and distribution environments. As with Basket Loading and Unloading , all six motions that create bad ergonomics come into play when loading and unloading pallets improperly. Setting a pallet on the ground and working from there, is a problem just waiting to happen. Presto Lifts P3 All Around Automatic Pallet Positioner has been designed specifically to make the job of loading and unloading pallets easier and safer for your work force. Load heights that adjust automatically as items are added or removed along with the turntable top promote the good ergonomics that all work forces need and deserve.
