Industrial Tilt Tables for Manufacturing Applications
When manufacturing staff work with small, handheld materials, industrial Tilt Tables can drastically reduce reaching over the course of the shift. That may not sound like much of an intervention, but considering that repetitive motions like bending and reaching increase the risk of developing a musculoskeletal disorder, it's often worthwhile for manufacturers to invest in Tilt Tables for their employees.
Bin Tippers for the Distribution of Bulk Loads
Bulk material loads present particular challenges, but bin tippers allow safer, more-productive handling for dry bulk loads and liquids alike.
Industrial engineers separate materials into three basic categories: individual units, containerized loads, and the toughest of them all: bulk materials. Odds are, most material handling applications have plenty of equipment to safely move individual units — such as components or subassemblies — and containerized loads — such as loaded pallets, boxes, and bins. But too many workplaces still rely on manual labor to empty bulk materials, such as grains, powders, and liquids.
Using Bin Tippers for Institutional Composting
As universities and other institutions transition to greener practices, composting becomes a more common sight. And for good reason—kitchens and cafeterias create hundreds of pounds of compostable food waste on a daily basis.
