Creating an ergonomic workspace increases efficiency and productivity for your employees and customers. Additionally, improving ergonomics also improves the comfort for your employees, which reduces fatigue. At Shelving + Rack Systems, Inc., we offer several equipment options to maximize the ergonomics in your warehouse or business space. Ergonomic workspaces also help meet Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards.
Scissor lift tables use a hydraulic system to reduce the physical stresses placed on employees so they can work longer and be more comfortable. Lift tables are fully adjustable for each employee and their specified tasks.
Lift tables reduce the need for repetitive bending, which can cause strain on the spine and joints, and wear your employees out more quickly. In severe cases, a wrong bend or turn can cause serious work-related injuries that lead to permanent disability, sick leave, or even litigation. Lift tables improve workplace safety standards and reduce the risks associated with frequent bending and lifting of heavy items.
The surface space of large warehouses, service areas, public spaces, and other commercial and industrial facilities take an enormous amount of time and resources to thoroughly clean. Floor sweepers reduce the need for extended manpower and provide a more ergonomic solution to keeping areas tidy and maintained.
Floor sweepers pick up an immense amount of dust, dirt, combustible dust, metals, and debris to effectively clean a space. The waste is collected in self-contained waste containers that are easy to empty.
Mechanical and walk-behind floor sweepers also reduce the need for bending, straining, and harsh pushing, which can cause fatigue and injuries to employees’ backs and knees. Additionally, employees’ risk of inhaling allergens, dust, and toxic materials are lessened with a floor sweeper.
Pallet tilters tip and carry large pallets, crates, and boxes without the need for workers lifting and carrying these large items. Pallet tilters can lift and move up to 4,000 pounds, making the transportation of these items more efficient and improved ergonomic work tasks for all employees.
Additionally, the thin arms that slide easily beneath these items prevent the risk of injury from workers moving the items onto the pallet tilter.
