The end of the Summer is upon us and for many people that means officially having to close up shop at the campground or marina. Boats and small campers have been utilized to their fullest for the last few months and may need either minor or major repairs prior to being stored away until next year’s vacation season.
In dealerships or facilities that repair, restore, distribute or even manufacture boats, campers and trailers there is nothing that makes the job easier than a trailer pusher. In environments where a trailer pusher isn’t available, employees might be required to move a heavy trailer manually, which could potentially result in serious injury. A trailer pusher quickly and easily hooks up to standard ball coupler, gooseneck or kingpin trailers and allows a single person to safely move even a heavy camper or boat from one location to another, with minimal chances of personal injury or damage to the unit or surrounding property.
Trailer pushers are compact in design and operate on battery power, which means that they are quieter while in use and quite a bit easier to store than a bulky, propane operated forklift. A trailer pusher has a much tighter turning radius than a full size forklift so employees will have a much easier time maneuvering boats and campers around in small repair bays or crowded parking lots, resulting in less of a chance of bumps, scrapes and scratches that would make for unnecessary additional work.
Boats, campers and trailers are just too large and cumbersome for employees to try and move around manually and using improperly designed equipment will often result in accidental minor damage. Using a trailer pusher to get a boat or camper from point A to point B on the assembly line or in the repair shop is the best way to keep both your employees and the units themselves as safe as possible when a move needs to be made.

Many positions in the manufacturing, warehousing and distribution industries can require a reasonable amount of manual labor – for this reason many employers had to be more selective in their hiring process in order to ensure that the employees that they took on would be capable of performing all tasks required of the position. Having the proper equipment on hand for employees to use can make each employee more versatile and lighten the overall workload of each individual position in a warehouse or manufacturing environment.
The addition of a powered cart makes moving heavy boxes, materials and supplies from one location to another easy for any employee. Powered carts from DJ Products are ergonomically designed to prevent many of the injuries commonly associated with manual material handling and the quiet operation of each powered cart keeps employees from being distracted while moving freight from point A to point B.
The powered carts from DJ Products have a large enough platform to carry a sizable load of material, but the frame size is small enough to be easily maneuvered in and out of small aisles or areas of shelving. The powered cart from DJ Products is battery operated so there is no unnecessary downtime during a busy shift like you might have with a propane operated lift or cart that has run out of fuel – the powerful battery lasts for an entire shift on a single charge so employees can continue working and remain productive for the entire day.
Having reliable, safe and effective equipment helps to eliminate potential staffing issues and allows employers to have complete confidence that there will never be an issue in terms of fulfilling orders and delivering product in a timely manner.

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.
