Ergonomic Work & Powered Lift Tables

What is Ergonomics anyway?
Ergonomics is the study of motion. When applied to material handling applications, ergonomics worktables improve the quality of the workplace environment. It creates new systems, and improved process flows, reduces the liabilities associated with industrial accidents, and increase profits by bringing general productivity to a higher level.

What are the benefits of ergonomic powered turntables?
When a crew member is working at a work bench, the ability to quickly access an item from any angle helps the worker get a task done more quickly and much more safely. With a powered carousel turntable, an employee can turn the item towards him without having to move around the work bench.

When working on smaller items, such as engine parts, 8-inch units are sometimes used. Larger items like engine blocks and oddly shaped objects are better manipulated on 24 inch units. A worker can more easily access different sides of such an item with a powered turntable. A staff member can also see both the object and the progress of their own work from different vantage points. With this improved accuracy and efficiency, more work gets completed in less time.

How many types of powered turntables does Easy Rack sell?
We sell several models designed for the many specific applications that define warehouse, distribution center, and factory process flow. Our experts will help you choose the right unit for your application based upon the size, shape, and other attributes of the unit. Our most basic electric lift tables are simple bench top turntables that sit on top of the workbench. They will support up to 5,000 pounds, and they enable employees to rotate the item being worked on with little effort. Rotational is maintained by high quality bearings.

Can you adjust the height of an item with any of these units?
With adjustable powered turntables, you can. We sell units in varying heights measuring up to 36 inches. The ability to adjust the height of the unit allows for a maximum range of ergonomic movements. Workers will not only gain full access to every side of the materials, but they will be able to set the height to a level that minimizes arm and back movements and gives them maximum visibility of the item being processed. Adapt the work to the human body in this fashion is ergonomics is really all about.

How safe are these units?
They are extremely safe because they are manufactured at the highest levels of quality and built with the latest turntable lift technologies that let workers to easily elevate objects of up to 750 pounds in weight. The powered rotation helps your employees work smarter, not harder, and to get the job done more rapidly without fatigue or the risk of serious injury.

If your company consistently works with large or very heavy objects and you are concerned about employee fatigue or injury, powered turntables can bring your crew both piece of mind and greater efficiency and safety.

Electric Lift Tables

Electric lifts reduce workplace trauma and injury resulting from repetitive motions, bending, and lifting. They are also highly ergonomic and efficient tools for improving process flow. By speeding up production, processing, and shipping, they add value to an organization’s profit. By minimizing stress and injury, electric lift tables reduce costs associated with injury claims, lost man-hours due to time off, and decreased productivity resulting from decreased worker morale.

Most electric lift tables operate on a hybrid hydraulic, electric system. Some, however, exclusively rely upon electric power. The key to choosing which electric lift table is right for you lies more in its mobility than its source of power.

It features a restraining chain that secures the load to a 12" high lip keep load in place during tilting. This electric lift table also offers a number of safety features, such as an electric toe guard that shields workers from pinch points. While you are lowering the table, velocity fuses will stop its travel in the event that hydraulic pressure drops. A 4 push-button hand pendent control on an 8 foot coil cord attaches to an upper limit switch that stops platform travel at its maximum height. This reduces motor wear and maintenance prop. End tilt functionality is standard to the electric/hydraulic lift table, and side tilt functionality is also available.

“U” Type Electric Lift Tables
The open center design of the on the "U" Type Electric Lift Tables allows you to access it with a pallet truck and place a load on its platform. This unit features an external power pack and pressure release valve that prevents overloading. Flow control valves function to regulate speed while the table is being lowered. Every unit also comes with a remote power unit, complete with a steel cover to protect the motor from dust and debris. You can lift and lower the table using the UP and DOWN push-buttons on the 24V control box. This unit also offers many safety features such as electric toe guards, velocity fuses in cylinders, safety maintenance props, and stop buttons on the control box.

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.

As the load reaches its final destination, the user simply pushes down on the back plate with their foot and the plate on the front of the unit will slide the load off. This feature greatly reduces stress on the user’s back and is one of the safest and most ergonomic push out hand trucks for the material handling and transport of oversized and/or heavy loads.

Aluminum Ergonomic Equipment Dollies and Hand Trucks
This unit’s lightweight aluminum build combines heavy-duty design with easy maneuverability. It includes knuckle guard handles, a fold up nose plate, and a curved back plate for transporting cylindrical objects.

We recently upgraded our security lighting using Easy Rack wall packs light fixtures. I was surprised at how easy they were to install and how much light they produced. The old incandescent lights we replaced are simply no match for these commercial grade fixtures. Our facility is now secure and we expect no problems from vandals going forward. Your company was a joy to work with! - Charles Shumacher

WOW- This new telescopic ladder is the coolest thing since sliced bread. I am a roofing contractor who has a bad back and struggles with a 24' extension ladder everyday. This is a real load off my shoulders and makes me look more professional to the clients. - Cliff Jacobs

Gracious Easy Rack! Sales at my Mexican Restaurant are terrific since installing several of your commercial water cooled patio fans. Since both outdoor fans are self contained, and operate up to eight hours without refilling, I do not have to use garden hoses or worry about someone tripping on them. It has made it much more enjoyable for my customers to drink, eat and relax during the summer months. - Hector Gonzales

The home owner's association wanted me to thank you in helping us with a professional lighting design layout. The decorative pole lights that you recommended have solved our security lighting issues and added a touch of class to our complex. Not one of our association members is unhappy with the look, performance or cost of the commercial metal halide lights! Thanks Easy Rack! - Mark Sheffield

We live in a gated retirement community where several of our close friends use wheelchairs and scooters to get around. Since buying your residential wheel chair lift last month, we no longer struggle getting anyone in and out of our home. In fact, we had the installer spray the wheel chair ramp to match our house trim color and you can hardly see it from the street. Thanks again! - Alice Ramsey

We have been inspired with our new carousel turntable from the day it arrived. Before getting this valuable material handling tool we used to go round and round with shrink wrap to prepare palletized loads for shipment. Now we just forklift the pallet onto the carousel and simply rotate the pallet to bundle the goods for shipment. Thank you Easy Rack for making our job easier! - Carlos Garcia

Quick lifts quietly and quickly elevate materials to desired heights without straining worker muscles or risking damage to products.

What are the benefits quick lifts offer?
Quick lifts quietly and quickly elevate materials to desired heights without straining worker muscles or risking damage to products. Battery-powered quick lifts operate quietly and help reduce noise pollution that can be both a nuisance and a safety hazard in and of itself.

What types of Quick Lifts do you offer?
Steel, Versatile, and Aluminum. Steel is best for the heaviest loads, whereas versatile and aluminum models are used for lighter materials and situations where space is limited and maneuverability often difficult to achieve.

Steel Quick lifts
Steel Quick lifts are actually very lightweight, quiet, and easy to maneuver. These units load quickly with a push of a button with any number of control options enumerated above. Battery powered operations keep the units at a minimum noise level, and a number of AC battery charging supplies are available through Easy Rack to keep optimal operating levels constant and ready. These units work very good in clean room environments.

Versatile Quick lifts
An economical, DC powered alternative to steel Quick lifts, this lifter has a high service range and four swivel casters to provide great versatility and convenience. It serves as an ideal tool for light industrial or commercial applications. It only takes 18 seconds for the 57" platform to travel from the floor to the storage surface, making the versatile quick lift perfect for small companies with a warehouse being the office facilities, or for light loading in supply rooms for any type of industry. This lifter also works just as effectively outside. Top wheels facilitate loading into a pick-up or van. The Easy Rack tool tray and remote battery charger (included with purchase) are standard to each unit.

Aluminum Quick lifts
This is one of the safest lifters we carry. The strength capacity and lightweight of aluminum make this quick lift a solid, dependable, larger-sized alternative to steel lifters. Lift components are housed in a concealed column, eliminating pinch points and thus protecting workers who may inadvertently get too close to the column. An electromagnetic break and drive screw design do away with the drifting/coasting of load, making elevation a smooth, continuous movement ideal for storing sensitive and fragile supplies and components. Its fully programmable, state of the art motor controller allows for multiple lift speed adjustments to accommodate the personal physique and personal preferences of each individual worker.

Controls
We provide three different control options in quick lifts to make them as customized as possible to worker efficiency. The first is standard push button control for simple lifting/loading to a single, pre-determined elevation. The optional Programmable Height Indexing option allows workers to preset multiple working heights at a touch of a button. For certain DC powered models we also supply a detachable hand control that works wonders with extremely cumbersome or heavy products.
