Ergonomic Lifting Equipment

What does ergonomics mean in the material handling business?
Wikipedia defines Ergonomics as the application of scientific information concerning objects, systems and environment for human use (definition adopted by the International Ergonomics Association in 2007).

Ergonomics is commonly thought of as how companies design tasks and work areas to maximize the efficiency and quality of their employees’ work. However, ergonomics comes into everything which involves people. Work systems, sports and leisure, health and safety should all embody ergonomics principles if well designed. The goal of ergonomics and human factors is to make the interaction of humans with machines as smooth as possible, enhancing performance, reducing error, and increasing user satisfaction through comfort and aesthetics.

Does Easy Rack provide ergonomic equipment such as lifts and work tables?
Ergonomic lifting equipment by Easy Rack is designed to anticipate every situation where a worker may need to strain his or her back in the process of elevating equipment or supplies and to provide a safe, efficient method of material handling that will safeguard both the body and the materials being moved to the maximum possible degree.

Scissor Lifts
Scissor lifts are an ingenious form of ergonomic lift that utilizes two diagonal cross beams that pivot from a central point much like the blades of a scissor open and close. Easy Rack supplies both standard scissor lifts and scissor lift tables that combine the power of a fulcrum point with a sturdy, horizontal surface that can raise boxes, tools, and building materials straight off the ground with no strain to the arms, neck, or back.

Ergonomic Lifting Accessories
Due to the wide range of uses ergonomic lifts are deployed for in factories and warehouses, it is necessary to customize these devices to task as much as possible. A customized tool offers the advantages of increased safety and better performance, and it benefits a company with reduced risk of injury or damage to materials being handled. Every day, Easy Rack continues to expand its inventory with all necessary accessories required to fully customize the basic designs of scissor lifts, hydraulic lifts and tilt tables to the task at hand.
