How Advanced Handling Can Help You During Covid-19

Although a lot of companies have had to make a difficult decision this week to close their offices or reduce staff numbers and asking people to work from home instead; some businesses in industries such as food and drink manufacturing, pharmaceutical, retail and social and healthcare are having to carry on operating to help us as a country and planet to get through this crisis.

These businesses and industries are finding themselves busier than ever, or just as busy as they are during the Christmas period, yet the difference is, this situation doesn’t come every year and wasn’t planned for. This has meant many workplaces are operating at absolute maximum capacity whilst having the same, if not a smaller workforce than usual! This is where we can help.

Investing in the right lifting and handling aids for your staff can increase your company’s productivity drastically as well as improve your health and safety which needs to be a priority, not only at this time to keep as many staff as possible fit and healthy, but on a longer term basis.

How a lifting aid can help?

A suitable lifting aid can turn what was a two-person task carried out manually such as lifting and transporting goods or components and parts around the factory, warehouse or office into an ergonomic, safer and more efficient one-person process. This then frees up the additional employee for something else. Explore our range of scissor lift tables and stackers which could become a valuable member of your operation’s team in as little as 3-5 working days.

We have our mobile scissor lift tables with capacities ranging from 125kg and 1,250kg or our static tables between 500kg and 2,000kg. Our low-profile scissor lift tables are perfect for pallets at the start or end of a production line, have a closed height of 800mm and a capacity of 1,000kg. Or, how about our EZ Loader, an auto-levelling pneumatic scissor lift table perfect for loading or unloading pallets without unnecessary bending or stretching.

We also have solutions to replace forklift trucks which rely on licensed staff to operate and during this busy time, they will be on-demand but might not be able to make it in to work at all or might be slower at responding due to them being on demand. A stacker from Advanced Handling can help you minimise this downtime. You don’t need a licence to operate it, you can lift 260kg effortlessly and they’re designed to be easy to manoeuvre around the most space-restricted of places.

Invest in the right equipment now and protect and improve your health, safety and efficiency during this global crisis and beyond.
