Vacuum Lifters - Lifting Hoists - Balancers - Mobile Lift Trolleys

Up to 38% of employee absences of over three days or more can be directly attributed to manual handling injuries, (pdf reference HSE INDG143). The primary aim of safer manual handling is focused on providing improved safety for the employee.

However companies and organisations should also be aware of the significant advantages and benefits which can be found by investing in the correct manual handling solution.

The best solutions can substantially reduce absence due to injury and with the correct handling procedures, methods and equipment in place, significant improvements can also be made in efficency and throughput. In addition a substantial reduction in labour costs can be made as, for example, previous two man jobs are converted to one man jobs.
