The good news is it’s never too late to review handling processes, and while increased seasonal demands are expected, managing how these processes are being approached benefits operations all year round.
At exhibitions this year talking to a range of UK businesses including food and drink manufacturers to packing lines, leading materials handling manufacturer Advanced Handling learned operations are increasing the loads in their production lines to experience greater efficiencies. As a result, safety representatives are now looking at lifting equipment to support their operatives with the heavier loads and to help maintain output levels.
A manual and portable solution which is catching the eyes and minds of health and safety professionals are the PRONOMIC Lift and Drive lightweight lifting trolleys. With three models in the range and capabilities to support food grade and clean room environments, these lifters offer direct benefits to the operative and to the overall process.
More than a stacker, these trolleys have an aluminium mast, height adjustable handles, battery operated precision lift and lower and a range of configurable lifting device attachments. This trolley is able to support multiple applications with capacities up to 225kg, including reel handling, drum handling to lifting and emptying waste wheelie bins.
Advanced Handling offers free PRONOMIC demonstrations across the UK and at their own showroom, subject to availability and suitability.
