Anything of 50 lbs. or more to be lifted should have a hoist.A hoist is one of the best investments you can make. It may reduce work compensation claims and that can lower your insurance costs. Safer work practices including ergonomic hoist products, can increase productivity while lowering fatigue from repetitious movement. Ergonomics is the science of designing jobs to suit the physical abilities of workers. Many ergonomic improvements involve simple changes such as modifying the height of workbenches or conveyers. More complex improvements require a specially designed workstation and lift assist equipment to reduce the strain of repetitive task, awkward working postures, heavy lifting or strenuous exertion that can cause repetitive motion or cumulative trauma injuries. More and more employers are discovering that better work place and job design makes the best use of your company's most valuable asset: their workers.
