Ergonomic Design Makes the Motorized Cart Workhorse of Future

Ergonomic design, energy efficiency and versatility make DJ Products’ motorized cart the material handling workhorse of the future — or at least the next decade. Our battery-powered and motorized carts and cart movers seem tailor-made for the federal government’s push to improve workplace safety, reduce medical costs, save energy and put more people back to work.

  • Improve workplace safety. The Obama administration is poised to increase governmental regulation of workplace safety issues. Ergonomics will play an important role in creating safe working environments. The science of designing equipment to fit the physical attributes and abilities of the worker, ergonomics reduces discomfort and fatigue and prevents repetitive strain injuries that can lead to long-term disability.
  • Reduce medical costs. With Congress revamping the national health care system, businesses will be working even harder to bring down medical costs. By preventing expensive musculoskeletal injuries, ergonomics helps businesses drastically reduce medical costs, worker’s compensation expenses and medical insurance premiums.
  • Save energy. The President’s promise at the U.N. Copenhagen climate conference to drastically cut the nation’s carbon dioxide production places renewed emphasis on equipment that isn’t powered by CO2-producing fossil fuels. DJ Product’s motorized carts and tugs use clean, green battery or electric power. Just like the Energizer Bunny, our tugs keep going and going, operating through two full shifts on a single charge.
  • Put people back to work. With most of the country starting the year with double-digit unemployment, putting people back to work is the government’s primary 2010 goal. Ergonomic design makes it possible for workers of any size, age or sex to easily operate any of DJ Products’ versatile motorized carts. Intuitive design and conveniently placed controls make for safe operation with minimal training.

Census Information Shows Many Americans are over Ninety

The US census has found that over 1.9 million people in the United States are over ninety years old. This fact shows that a need for more assisted living centers and other health care facilities is going to continue to increase.

The current amount of this kind of living space has been called inadequate in larger population centers such as New York City. Not only is there a shortage of living space for the future nonagenarians and those who are younger, the number of health care workers will also be feeling the strain. This can already be seen and there doesn’t seem to be any real plans to do much about it.

The average rehab centers, nursing homes and hospitals may be understaffed but that shouldn’t prevent basic care duties like supplying clean bed clothes and towels. One way to increase efficiency in this area is to use motorized carts to help employees move the large carts that carry the folded laundry to the patient’s rooms.

These carts have variable speeds and a smooth operation that makes handling them in tight hallways safe and secure. There is also an emergency stop switch on the handle that ensures both employee and visitor safety when maneuvering in tight hallways during visiting hours. The battery powered cart can work for sixteen hours straight and it only takes one person to handle it.

There is an adjustable customized attachment that can be used to link this motorized cart to any number of different carts and pieces of equipment. The battery powered cart is also designed to look less industrial than other products to make it blend in better with the health care facility surroundings.
