Are you still utilizing pallet jacks and forklifts to transport loads in your warehouse or plant? Investing in power material handling tugs from DJ Products can pay long-term dividends thanks to increased efficiency and fewer work-related injuries.
With space often at a premium, the smaller, more manageable tugs offer quicker movement of material from place to place. Weight of the load is distributed over the drive wheels, increasing traction that allows for easy transport of even the heaviest materials. This also means that a single person can handle loads that usually require two or more people.
According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, a full 50 percent of work-related musculoskeletal disorders are back injuries. Each incident results in anywhere from seven to 21 days off the job. Material handling tugs provide an ease of operation that sharply reduces the danger of injury. They also include ergonomically designed features such as variable speed twist grips, eliminating factors that cause repetitive stress.
Safety is a prime standard in the design of our tugs. Emergency stop switches let operators quickly shut down if necessary, preventing injury as well as damage. Your employees will work with a greater sense of confidence, resulting in an overall boost in morale.
Our DJ Products line of material handling tugs includes the PartsCaddy and CarpetCaddy that can accommodate unusually shaped or oversized loads. No matter what your needs, you’ll find a style that fits. Our Sales Engineers are ready to help you find your perfect solution at 800-686-2651.
