What’s the price of workplace safety? According to the Economic Policy Institute, 8.5 million work-related injuries occur annually for a total cost of $192 billion.

The National Safety Council names overexertion as the #1 cause of workplace injuries. Many of these incidents occur in the trash room, where employees are frequently moving heavy, bulky dumpsters. Is there a way to reduce this common risk?

Motorized Dump Hopper Solves Waste Hauling Problems

Need a smart, safe, easy way to haul trash, waste and debris around your facility? DJ Products’ motorized dump hopper is the perfect solution. This heavy-duty, battery-powered tilt truck is designed to haul 2,000 pounds of trash or debris. Eliminating the manual pushing and pulling of heavy trash carts that can cause debilitating and costly musculoskeletal injuries in your work force, DJ Products’ motorized dump hopper is ergonomically designed to allow a single operator to effortlessly transport and relocate trash and waste materials. Easily operated via a conveniently-placed, ergonomically-designed twist handle grip, this battery-powered tilt truck does all the work, taking the load off your workers and preventing the risk of musculoskeletal injury.

Popular with a diverse group of our customers, DJ Products’ ergonomically-designed powered dump hopper is being used to haul heavy trash and debris in factories, schools, distribution facilities, convention centers, hospitals and warehouses effectively and efficiently. Even filled with heavy trash, our dump hopper is designed for safe and easy turning and maneuvering in tight and narrow spaces by workers of any size or physical ability. Ergonomic design insures that the cart, not your workers, carries the burden, removing risk of injury to sensitive arm, shoulder, back, and leg muscles.

When material handling equipment forces a worker to contort his body to push, pull, maneuver tooperate it, muscle fatigue sets in. Workers take more breaks to alleviate sore muscles, decreasing work efficiency and production. Repeated muscle strain most often leads to potentially debilitating musculoskeletal injuries and the high medical bills, insurance costs, worker’s compensation and lost man-hour expenses such injuries entail. Ergonomically-designed material handling equipment is made to conform to the worker, allowing workers of various sizes and physical abilities to comfortably and easily perform the same task using the same equipment. Ergonomic equipment improves worker efficiency, productivity and morale.

A heavy-duty, 24-volt motor easily moves heavy loads up to 2,000 pounds. The ergonomic variable-speed twist grip allows operators to quickly maneuver forwards or backwards at speeds from 0 to 3 mph without risking carpal tunnel injury. Powered by two 12-volt batteries, this powered tilt truck can perform for an entire 8-hour shift without recharging, ensuring efficient waste hauling for the duration of the shift. DJ Products’ highly versatile dump hopper is available in a variety of sizes and can be customized to any application or environment.
