Reducing risks
January 1st 2012 By investing in six electric-operated
materials handling tugs for moving
roll cages of catering trolleys,
laundry and medical notes around
its two sites, Lancashire Teaching
Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
reduced the risk of accidents and
injuries to its staff, while also
improving handling efficiencies.
The solution provided was
MasterMover's SmartMover electricoperated
tug. This is a versatile
machine designed for moving roll
cages from vehicle tail lifts and across
uneven surfaces and slopes, which
can also turn through 90 degrees. By
clamping to the base of the roll cage
or trolley, the unit ensures that the
cage cannot be tipped onto the
operator. This reduces the risk of
injury to employees and makes
unloading and moving goods a
single-person procedure. More articles from MasterMover Ltd: |
