This provides a single order point for Purchasing and a single point of Project Coordination Management. Our products meet or exceed OSHA standards that fall under the General Duty Clause and the proposed NIOSH lifting guidelines developed for OSHA standards. We provide:

Better Workflow

The use of a proper Lift Assist allows greater worker flexibility:

  1. Rotating workers is less of a concern when the load is handled with a Lift Assist.
  2. Female workers can handle the same amount of weight that male workers are typically assigned to.
  3. Larger items that typically require a Ten Lift can be handled with one worker when using a Lift Assist.
Save Time

Providing a Lift Assist can increase production rates: 

  1. Less fatigue on operators helps maintain production targets near shifts end.
  2. 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.
