Logistics is about the ability of getting the right goods to the right location at the right time. This movement of goods is largely moved horizontally on carts. In the retail sector this is often done by moving roll containers from the truck to the storage space of a shop. This is largely done manually by people who provide the strength to move these containers themselves. Although this may seem a good solution in the short term, it has long-term consequences for the employee’s body. Physical stress, such as lifting, pushing and pulling, can cause back and shoulder complaints. This can lead to pain and reduced functioning, resulting in less efficient management. The electric tug is designed to increase the well-being of the employee.
We still notice that employees in companies manually move heavy loads. Lifting, carrying and pushing heavy loads can eventually lead to disorders such as back complaints, arm, neck and shoulder complaints. Research has shown that physical heavy workloads lead to 24% to 28% higher absenteeism due to illness. This is not only very annoying for the employee, but also for the employer. As an employer you are responsible for your employees and besides the fact that the employee can no longer be scheduled for his or her work, a higher absenteeism also leads to higher costs for the employer.
How often do you think of hospitals? Many would say, never, apart from where many of us start-out and, most probably, where many will spend their final days, too. But in recent times, we have thought about hospitals more times than we would like. It’s no secret that over the past few weeks, hospitals have been stretched to the limit. The increase in patients, medical staff and technical workers has shone a new spotlight on “hospital efficiency” and how well-equipped hospitals are to handle the demand. But in practice, the pursuit of efficiency has always been essential for hospitals.
Helpful in maintaining Clean Environment
Lack of hygiene can threaten hospital efficacy, and this is especially true when ensuring the safe handling of goods in hospital wards, and departments. Therefore it is essential to ensure that the equipment used to transport hospital goods is always clean and meets the requirements of a hygienic environment.
The T1000 RVS — Electric Tug is made of easy to clean stainless steel, which is a perfect maintenance-friendly solution in hospitals and care facilities where goods are transported on medical carts, work carts, medicine carts and food trolleys. The T1000 RVS gives you peace of mind that the job can be done safely and efficiently.
Move Hospital Beds with ease
Moving beds from ward to ward can be a strenuous task, especially when you need to move multiple beds at once. Just ask hospital staff who are expected to move beds whenever they are needed. But have you ever considered how this could impact the staff’s physical well-being?
The Movexx BM500R-FFC (Bed Mover 500 Remote — Front Fork Connector) is an electric tug that makes work easier for care-givers. Its compact design makes maneuvering through narrow spaces, such as small halls, corridors and lifts, stress-free. The BM500R-FFC takes care of the heavy work. It can move an impressive half-ton with ease, leaving hospital staff burdened free. Its ergonomic design is extremely beneficial to personnel who spend endless hours on their feet because the Bed Mover ensures that the user always maintains a good body position. Maintaining a good body position posture while moving beds limits the risk of injury, increases your productivity and enables workers to do their jobs better. Because you use a remote to operate the tug, you no longer need two persons to move beds. This ensures that you’re able to keep the 1.5 meter distance that most governments enforce, from other colleagues.
