This historical 2020 article discusses how businesses adapted during the pandemic. Many reviewed their budgets, operations and staffing. Its publication date and historical context remain unchanged.
Companies in a variety of industries can benefit from our solutions – from apartment complexes maneuvering heavy trash bins, to manufacturing operations moving semi-trailers in and out of docks, to factory workers moving equipment along an assembly line. Below are three reasons why purchasing an electric tug or tow solution can help improve the way you do business.
Invest in Employee Safety
Keeping your team members safe is paramount. Manual pushing and pulling of heavy loads can create handling risks. Review the task, equipment and operator training together. Our cost-effective battery-powered units allow one person to safely move heavy equipment from point A to point B with less manual pushing effort. Operators still need training and must follow the equipment’s limits. Additionally, our products are perfect for social distancing; one person can maneuver heavy loads versus the need for multiple employees in close proximity to one another moving equipment manually.
Boost Operational Efficiency
During the pandemic, businesses faced slowing sales domestically and internationally. Many reviewed how to improve efficiency with the available workforce. Our solutions allow one person to get the job done; reducing the number of employees needed to complete a task and improving efficiency. Our battery-powered tow solutions allow for fast maneuverability cutting down on supply chain lags.
Budgets: Use Them or Lose Them
For many departments, annual budgets operate on a “use it or lose it” principle; if not utilized by year-end or fiscal year-end, the funds will expire and may not be carried over. Considering a material handling solution is an excellent investment to help your employees easily and safely relocate heavy equipment or materials in a more efficient manner. If you’re considering a material handling solution, please reach out to one of our sales engineers via phone (1-800-686-2651) or online chat. We’re happy to help you find the right solution for your particular application needs.
