Avoids over-stretching
August 1st 2007

HC Slingsby has long been aware of the need for high quality equipment in the warehouse to help prevent accidents caused by manual handling.

The company’s Load Levelling Pallet Positioner has a self-levelling design which automatically keeps the top of the load at a convenient working height. The integral rotator ring avoids over-stretching and reaching. The device has the capacity to handle loads to 2000kg. These features are said to ensure that no strain is placed on the back while the load is being processed.

The unit itself is adjustable using captive air operation, providing controlled movement and eliminating the use of springs.

The company points out that each year accidents from slips and trips and manual handling cost businesses thousands of pounds. HC Slingsby believes such costs can be avoided by using the correct equipment.

The company’s catalogue features more than 35 000 products for the workplace.
