BOOST SAFETY IN YOUR WORKPLACE WITH A SCISSOR LIFT (Guest Post)

Are you looking for that piece of equipment to promote safety in your place of work? Then scissor lift tables and or pallet trucks may be the choice for you. The scissor frame, which is the trademark of the equipment, means that when the load is being raised, the wheels are elevated from the floor. Resulting in the fact that the lift or table will not wander and that means less accident and equipment damage. 

Pallet trucks

A pallet truck allows the easy transportation of heavy materials around the worksite, safely. Smooth running wheels are attached, so that is easy to manoeuvre the truck, resulting in less injury from overexertion. The largest models can generally hoist, at maximum, a thousand kilograms of materials. If you overload the truck from its normal capacity, it may become a hazard. It is fitted with an ergonomic handle which when used, determines the movement of the forks. 

Lift tables

These tables come in many different sizes to suit your needs. The larger sizes can hold up to four thousand kilograms. Both the lift tables and the pallet trucks can contain electrical motors which lift the load at a simple push of a button. Some are semi-electrical and others are devoid of the motor and need to be manually used.

Most tables also come with guards on the rollers to prevent injury, when moving the table about. The wheels are made from polyurethane which gives them more grip, which means that the table more user friendly. 

Make sure that both Truck and table are CE certified and that you purchase the right weight measurements to suit your needs. Never overload the equipment or it may become damaged and other things may be harmed as well.
