Potters wheel in safer solution
June 1st 2007 The Denby Pottery Company
has taken delivery of two
Nu-Star Power Pushers at its
manufacturing facility in
Derbyshire.
The units are used to
push and pull pots to and
from the kilns and to
manoeuvre loaded kiln cars
in and out of the kilns
themselves.
Richard Brooke, Denby's
kiln technician, contacted
Nu-Star in November 2006
as part of an initiative to
reduce the manual handling
risks associated with moving
heavy trolleys.
After an on-site
demonstration, he decided
that the versatile steering
arm attachment on the
Power Pusher would enable
the tasks to be
accomplished efficiently
and safely.
He comments that the
equipment has helped
the company make
significant progress
towards its health and
safety targets and says
that there is less damage to
pots in transit around the
factory. More articles from Nu-Star Material Handling Ltd: |
