Better Workflow
The use of a proper Lift Assist allows greater worker flexibility:
- Rotating workers is less of a concern when the load is handled with a Lift Assist.
- Female workers can handle the same amount of weight that male workers are typically assigned to.
- Larger items that typically require a Ten Lift can be handled with one worker when using a Lift Assist.
Increase Production
Providing a Lift Assist can save time and increase production rates:
- Less fatigue on operators helps maintain production targets near shifts end.
- In certain applications it is possible to handle multiple items per lift vs. single items loaded by hand. A good example is to accumulate boxed items at the end of a conveyor and transfer an entire row or layer to the pallet.
