Selecting the right material handling solution

Having the right material handling solution decreases the chance of injuries, and ultimately leads to increased productivity for your company. 

Scissor lifts and lift tables, for example, can help increase productivity on assembly lines by putting loads at comfortable working heights; and they help reduce fatigue, increase efficiency and lessen the chance of bending, lifting and back injuries.

Turntables and carousels can keep the work in front of the worker, maximizing throughput and eliminating the continuous bending, stretching and reaching that can lead to on-the-job injuries.

Fork-type positioners, scissor positioners, adjustable parts carts, tables and work-height platforms help eliminate bending, stooping, stretching and reaching, which play havoc with your employees’ health and your bottom-line productivity. These solutions put parts and supplies at employees’ fingertips for optimal efficiency and maximum throughput.

There are many solutions, and each solution has even more options — manual or powered, stationary or mobile, a rotating top or a tilt table. Sizes and payload also vary. 

With so many options, how do you choose the one that’s best for your application?
