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 manoeuvre 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.
