Top-Tier Industrial Lift Solutions: Ergonomic Equipment for the Future of Work
While artificial intelligence dominates the headlines, the reality for businesses in most industries is that human beings will be a central part of all operations for many years to come, which means that ergonomic industrial lift solutions are critical to long-term success.
Ergonomic solutions are not just nice to have—they are a must.
Ergonomic material-handling equipment does not simply reduce worker fatigue (though it does) or increase employee morale (it does that too)—it protects your business, reducing the chances for workplace injuries. Ergonomic material-handling equipment is crucial workplace safety equipment that underlies the safety expectations of the future.
On top of that, we have seen firsthand how ergonomic lifts make workers more efficient, which ultimately increases productivity and the quality of their work. We believe that ergonomics is no longer a buzzword—it is a foundational aspect of all modern material handling operations that businesses can no longer ignore.
Here are just a few of our most popular ergonomic industrial lift solutions and what they can do for your business.
Powered Turntables: Crucial for High-volume Industrial Applications
If you have heavy-duty loads up to 50,000 pounds that regularly need to be repositioned, you need a powered turntable. Heavy-duty, high-capacity powered turntables are designed for oversized and heavy loads that constantly need to be shifted or turned and are built to withstand the rigors of high-volume and automated industrial applications.
The amount of time and energy that these turntables save is massive, and we have repeatedly seen how much this improves quality of life for employees while simultaneously accelerating their productivity. Our automated industrial clients also regularly require this equipment to make sure their operations run smoothly and efficiently.
One of the biggest problems we have seen our clients run into without such high-quality turntables is the regular need for manual labor, thanks to equipment errors. The last thing you want is an employee putting themselves in harm’s way while having to troubleshoot old, outdated equipment when they should be working on some other task.
However, many of our customers need to modernize their operations more slowly, so most of these industrial lift solutions can integrate seamlessly with your legacy equipment. We believe there is no better time than now to modernize your operations—with costs skyrocketing in many industries, every chance you have to increase efficiency and productivity is one we truly believe you need to take.
Here are a few of our specific turntable options.
Series 35 Powered Turntable
The Series 35 Powered Turntable can accommodate various applications and is designed to handle medium-to-heavy loads.
Equipped with automated controls that can be configured to work with other material-handling equipment, these chain-driven work platforms are powerful enough to handle the demands of any industrial environment.
This model handles loads up to 6,000 pounds and is available in various platform sizes to fit your needs. Workers using our Series 35 Powered Turntable do not have to deal with manual rotation or trying to balance and reposition loads. By mounting this workhorse onto one of our industrial scissor lift tables, you gain precise positioning and vertical elevation, increasing productivity without sacrificing worker safety and comfort.
Series 35 Manual Turntable
This durable and cost-effective manual option can easily handle loads from 2,500–6,000 pounds. It delivers the lowest turning forces in the industry by leveraging double-row ball bearings in each roller.
Built with a ½-inch thick steel platform, your team can expect a solid and stable load with minimum deck deflection. It also features an ergonomic 4-inch lowered height, allowing workers greater flexibility during on and offloading.
Take a look at this case study to see how one of our clients achieved measurably higher worker productivity thanks to one of our manual lift and turntable solutions.
