The environment inside of a hospital, nursing home or hotel can be hectic –different scenarios present a wide variety of challenges for employees, making daily duties much more difficult to complete. Emergencies at hospitals or nursing homes require rooms and hallways to be quickly cleared in order for personnel to act and holiday weekends or special events can completely changed how employees in the hospitality industry have to perform in order to satisfy customers.
In order to increase efficiency and make the environment in a crowded hotel or hospital as safe for employees as possible, it’s important that the staff have the proper equipment to handle their duties. Food and linen carts can be exceedingly heavy and difficult to maneuver down narrow hallways manually, but with the help of an electric cart pusher the job can be performed much faster and much more efficiently.
An electric cart pusher from DJ Products is designed to attach easily to just about any four wheeled cart with two front swivel casters and two straight casters. Once attached to the swivel caster end, the electric cart pusher makes for quick and easy maneuvering in and out of small rooms and down narrow halls and corridors.
An electric cart pusher helps to make employees safer by eliminating the stress and strain associated with manual cart pushing. Alleviating the stress and strain on your employees minimizes sick days; workers compensation claims and keeps you entire operation running more smoothly. Using an electric cart pusher can also help to keep guests or residents as safe as possible by minimizing the time that rooms and hallways are either partially blocked or completely inaccessible by slow moving, manually pulled linen or food carts.

Scheduled for March 22-25, the 2010 Applied Ergonomics Conference (AEC) to be held in San Antonio, Texas is slated to be North America’s biggest and most impressive gathering of ergonomics experts, applications and equipment providers. What sets AEC apart from other ergonomic conferences is its emphasis on the practical application of ergonomic principles and discoveries to real world industrial problems. This is not an esoteric meeting of high-brow academics, though you’ll find the more practical of their ilk in attendance. This is a working man’s conference. A meeting of industrialists, ergonomic experts and others involved in day-to-day efforts to improve the health and safety of American workers through the application of ergonomics to real world problems.
The 2010 AEC conference will be held at the Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa with early registration discounts available through January 15, 2010. Ergoweb is offering a special 50% discount to its followers until this Friday, December 18 on registrations for the conference and host hotel.

The weather folks are in their glory, on full alert as hurricane Ida churns toward the Gulf Coast. Even up here in the far northern reaches of the Midwest (Little Falls, MN) where even mild fallout from Ida is highly unlikely, local weather broadcasters are dancing on screen in paroxysms of joy as they gasp the latest warning bulletins. It’s likely to be a few weeks before any real snow hits our neck of the woods, so I guess Ida gives the storm chasers something to do; but prevailing winds being what they are, I don’t think we’re in much danger of flooding up here.
All the hoopla in the press did give me a new idea to pass along to our sales team. I saw resort workers struggling to push stacked lounge chairs across pool aprons and into storage areas. You could see them struggling to muscle the heavy stacks of chairs against the wind. It occurred to me how easy the job with be with DJ Products’ versatile WagonCaddy power mover. We’ve already adapted our powered material handling equipment to help local schools maneuver metal bleachers around school gymnasiums and on and off playing fields. This application for the hospitality industry would be a snap!
Ergonomically-designed to take the strain off workers’ backs, DJ Products’ WagonCaddy power mover allows an operator to quickly and easily transport materials — like lounge chairs — parts or machinery without physical exertion. (Click here to see a video of the WagonCaddy in action.) Like all of our ergonomically-designed, powered material handling equipment, this tug is equipped with an instant safety stop to prevent injuries. A variable speed thumb twist allows the operator to smoothly move in forward and reverse up to 3 mph. Compact design allows for maneuvering in narrow corridors and tight spaces and the cart can pivot loads a full 360 degrees. For full details, visit DJ Products website.
