Reduces risk of injury
April 1st 2005

Grip-It UK says employees working in packaging and the bottling sector can now reduce the threat of manual handling injuries following the introduction of its Lift Mates.

Lightweight and simpleto- use, Solo Lift and Dual Lift help staff to work more safely and reduce the threat of injuries associated with repetitive handling and lifting.

Solo Lift has a trigger group system that allows boxes to be lifted and carried easily and effectively using only one hand and minimal grip pressure. It reduces the likelihood of a slip or trip brought about by the obscured view of carrying a box.

For those dealing with bulkier packaging, the twohanded Dual Lift provides two detachable, temporary handles that give a firm grip and allow the user to keep their shoulders level and back straight, reducing the risk of injury.
