In fast paced warehouse and distribution environments it is critical for employees to receive and stock incoming materials in a timely manner in order to ensure that customer orders can be fulfilled. In environments where the majority of material handling is done manually this type of work can easily result in employees sustaining painful and debilitating back injuries.
Employees who are required to manually push or pull heavy carts loaded with product around a warehouse can suffer muscle strains associated with overexertion. Those that are responsible for manually stocking products as well are even more at risk for injury from having to repeatedly bend down to pick up heavy products prior to putting them away.
An electric scissor lift provides the perfect solution to keep hardworking employees safe and productive in warehouse and distribution environments. A scissor lift from DJ Products can help employees to quickly and easily transfer heavy loads of product from the receiving area to the appropriate destination with no added stress or strain. Even exceedingly heavy loads of product can be quickly distributed to the most far reaching areas of the warehouse by any employee without the fear of injury.
Once the product has reached the destination for storage the scissor lift will raise it to the appropriate level for injury free stocking. Employees can safely stock product onto warehouse racks with no need for the unnecessary bending or twisting that is often associated with manual receiving and that can ultimately result in injury.
Keeping the shipping and receiving employees healthy is integral to the success of a warehouse or distribution environment. With the addition of a piece of equipment like the scissor lift from DJ Products employees are not only safer while performing their required duties they are also more efficient.
