Injuries in factory, warehouse and distribution environments aren’t limited to the employees who operate heavy equipment and those that load heavy products onto delivery trucks. There are a number of duties in these types of environments that need to be performed every day that can result in injuries to employees. Any employee required to manually haul heavy material of any kind or in any capacity is at risk of suffering an injury from overexertion.
Employees who handle waste management in manufacturing and distribution facilities are often required to manually haul hundreds of pounds of debris to compactors or dumpsters. This type of strenuous physical labor can easily result in serious injuries that require medical treatment or possibly even expensive workers’ compensation claims.
In order to minimize the chances of these types of injuries, employers need to provide equipment designed to eliminate the stress and strain associated with manual material handling. The motorized dump hopper from DJ Products eliminates much of the physical stress of manually hauling heavy loads of trash and debris which makes the task much less strenuous for employees.
The motorized dump hopper is capable of easily handling loads of trash that weight up to two thousand pounds at speeds of up to three miles per hour. A motorized dump hopper can instantly make a job that could have been time consuming and potentially dangerous for a few employees safe for a single employee to tackle on their own.
The motorized dump hopper from DJ is powered by two long lasting 12 volt batteries and can easily run for an entire shift without needing to be recharged. This piece of equipment will instantly increase the efficiency of factory cleaning and waste management crews and help to dramatically reduce the risk of injury to valuable employees.
