This attachment is made out of a rigid steel welded frame that can be customized to fit any size tote. Pairing this with our ability to customize the stroke, width and payload of your application will eliminate the strain of manual lifting and position. To operate, lower the Tote Handler so that the tines will not interfere while straddling the tote. Once the rear plastic bumper of the Tote Handler makes contact with the tote, it is safe to lift. This feature removes the need to look around the sides of the machine to make sure the tote is safely secured. Simply lift with the Tote Handler and transport your tote. We understand that every application can be very specific and we are prepared to meet your requirements. Our engineering team will work with you to make sure your product is handled with unmatched reliability as well as precision. Whether there is a limited space requirement, a certain reach or a particularly unique shape then we can work directly with your team to create a truly one-of-a-kind product together. © 2025 Ergotronix, Inc. \| All Rights Reserved \| Managed by [David Taylor Digital \| NJ Digital Marketing](https://www.davidtaylordigital.com/) Manage consentManage consent ![]() [Previous image](https://ergotronix.com/tote-handler/)[Next image](https://ergotronix.com/tote-handler/) ![CleanTalk Pixel](https://moderate11-v4.cleantalk.org/pixel/0b44654448496c05932503304e79b440.gif)# Category: Features [Improving Warehouse Efficiency with Industrial Lifting Equipment](https://ergotronix.com/industrial-lifting-equipment/ "Improving Warehouse Efficiency with Industrial Lifting Equipment")![Improving Warehouse Efficiency with Industrial Lifting Equipment](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png) [2](https://ergotronix.com/category/features/#) By [Ergotronix](https://ergotronix.com/author/ergotronix/ "Posts by Ergotronix") In [Benefits](https://ergotronix.com/category/benefits/), [Features](https://ergotronix.com/category/features/) Posted[February 3, 2025](https://ergotronix.com/2025/02/) ### [Improving Warehouse Efficiency with Industrial Lifting Equipment](https://ergotronix.com/industrial-lifting-equipment/) At the forefront of innovative industrial lifting equipment, the Ergo Tranz Transporter provides a transformative solution for the demands of today’s growing logistics landscape.

More Testimonials * * * ### In our factory in Illinois, we need to lift and pour 90-pound pots of very hot liquid up to five feet off the floor. These conditions raised the risks of burns and also muscle strain for our staff. We found the Ergo Tranz® in an online search, and the Ergotronix staff helped us with customization as we needed special grippers that hold the pots securely, and the mast was also altered to fit under a low ceiling in that area of the factory. The installation has been a success. The workers like working with the Ergo Tranz®, it has increased efficiency, and most importantly, it has made this operation very safe. We have been very happy with our choice of the Ergo Tranz®. #### Floyd Palmer ##### LA-CO Industries, Inc. * * * ### While the standard Ergo Tranz® unit had been evaluated and found to be very robust and far superior to the competition, Gillette still needed customizations to make it fit our particular applications. After working directly with Ergotronix designers, a custom unit was successfully prototyped. We currently have fourteen systems at work that are suited for Gillette. Working with Ergotronix has been a great experience. #### Tim Lagerstedt, Manufacturing Engineer ##### Gillette * * * ### All of our operators love using the Ergo Tranz® unit. Everyone who has seen it in use wonders why we didn’t get this product sooner. The product this lift is being used for, has always been physically challenging and required two people because of the size and weight being transported. Now, with the Ergo Tranz®, just about anyone can handle this job without assistance. #### Rick Enger, Controls Engineer/Project Coordinator ##### Polaris * * * ### Our new customized Ergo Tranz® helps operators in our Listerine factory in Pennsylvania to lift 45-pound rolls of plastic wrap from the vertical position, move them ten feet, and load them horizontally onto mandrels at two different heights with absolutely zero strain of any kind. The Ergo Tranz® features a specially designed all-electric rotating grip arm that grips and holds the plastic wrap from within the center, as well as a motor-action push-off, all controlled with an easy-to-use hand pendant. The operators on the line are very pleased, and reliability has been excellent. Indeed, we are so satisfied we have ordered more Ergo Tranz® units.

Portable lift technology is transforming work environments into hubs of productivity and safety. They bridge the gap between heavy lifting and ergonomic ease to reshape how tasks are approached in a diverse range of industries. This article gets into the world of portable lifts to unravel their significance in creating efficient workflows and enhancing shop floor safety. Read on to unveil how portable lifts are reshaping industry norms and why they might just be the game-changer your workspace needs. ## **The Evolution of Portable Lifts in Industry** The journey of portable lifts in the industry is a tale of [innovation meeting necessity](https://ergotronix.com/heavy-lifting-equipment-ergo-i/). In the early days of manufacturing, workers relied on sheer physical strength and rudimentary tools to move heavy materials. This process was not only time-consuming but also fraught with the risk of injuries. As industries evolved, the need for a more efficient and safer manufacturing solution became evident. This is when portable lifts entered the picture. Initially, these lifts were basic. They focused solely on the lifting aspect. However, as industrial demands grew, so did the sophistication of portable lifts. Today, they are integral to various sectors, including automotive, construction, and logistics. For instance, in the automotive industry, portable lifts have replaced traditional stationary hoists, allowing for more flexible assembly lines. Workers can now easily move engines or entire car frames which significantly reduces the time and effort required for assembly. Another example of this evolution is seen in warehouses. Modern portable lifts have transformed how goods are handled, stored, and retrieved. With the introduction of compact designs, these lifts navigate narrow aisles with ease, enhancing storage efficiency. In the construction space, portable lifts have made it possible to transport materials across multi-story buildings, a task that was previously perilous and labor-intensive. ## **Understanding the Ergonomics of a Portable Lift** Ergonomics is the science of designing the workplace [to fit the worker](https://www.osha.gov/ergonomics). It plays a critical role in the development of portable lift technology. Consider the design of a portable lift’s control system. The placement and ease of use of controls are crucial to prevent strain and fatigue. Modern portable lifts come with intuitively designed control panels. These can be operated with minimal effort and reduce the physical strain on the operator. For instance, some lifts are equipped with joystick controls. These allow for precise movements without requiring excessive force or awkward body positions. Another aspect of ergonomics in portable lifts is their adaptability to handle irregular shapes. Traditional lifting solutions often struggled with non-standard loads. This could lead to unsafe handling practices. Contemporary portable lifts, however, are designed with powered versatile gripping and holding mechanisms. This adaptability not only ensures the safe handling of variously shaped objects but also minimizes the risk of repetitive strain injuries. This is because workers no longer need to manually adjust their lifting technique for each unique load. The height adjustment feature in portable lifts also showcases ergonomic ingenuity. By allowing workers to adjust the lift to a comfortable working height, these lifts reduce the need for bending or stretching. Both are common causes of back and shoulder injuries in industrial environments. ## **Ergotronix’s Innovative** **Portable Lift** **Solutions** Ergotronix has made significant strides in the world of portable lifts with their Ergo I® and Ergo Tranz® models. These innovations are reshaping how tasks are approached in industries by offering efficient workflow and safety enhancements. ![Ergo I Pneumatic Lift and Telescoping Lift](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/pneum-ergo-i-1.jpg) ### **Ergo I®** The Ergo I® Telescopic Lift System stands out with its small sleek design and powerful capabilities.

Maybe of the big fork lift trucks that lift and transport large, bulky, heavy, awkward objects with large footprints. Ergotronix does not build fork lift trucks, but compact, elegant lifts and transporters that are flexible and easy to manually move from point A to point B. They provide height adjustability and versatility with smooth transitions and increase precision. ![Woman using Ergo Tranz material handling equipment](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/material-handling-equipment-940x888.png) **Featured Items** - [Ergo I](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift/) - [Ergo Tranz](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift-transport/) ## **Ergo Tranz Lift Transporter** She’s more than just a pretty face. The ErgoTranz is a compact lift transporter that features a small footprint and enables easy lifting and transporting around your shop floor. Because we build all our equipment around the operator and the workplace, this material handling device is optimum in confined spaces or tight isles. The Ergo Tranz can be equipped with a broad range of attachments or end effectors that eliminate manual lifting or carrying within the workplace. Awkward positioning or strain on the operator’s body when trying to lift, move, or handle a heavy object load up to 600 lbs, is now significantly reduced, or totally eliminated. This powerful yet lightweight fortress does all the heavy lifting and transporting. With the broad range of standard attachments, the ErgoTranz can be used as a smart stacker, roll handler, transfer cart, etc. Custom solutions, to solve your specific industrial application are also available. The ErgoTranz flexibility and strength are unmatched.

Lift adjustment can be controlled from a hand pendant, foot pedal, or from an automated PLC input.

This space-saving footprint of only 10” will leave you in awe at its many functions and versatile flexibility. #### Follow Us For More Powered by [WooCommerce Help](https://wpchatsupport.com/woocommerce-support) [ergonomics](https://ergotronix.com/tag/ergonomics/), [lift column](https://ergotronix.com/tag/lift-column/), [lift transporter](https://ergotronix.com/tag/lift-transporter/), [Material Handling Equipment](https://ergotronix.com/tag/material-handling-equipment/), [work positioners](https://ergotronix.com/tag/work-positioners/) [« Back to Blog](https://ergotronix.com/news/) Recommended Posts - [![Classifying Ergonomic Solutions](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png)](https://ergotronix.com/classifying-ergonomic-solutions/ "Classifying Ergonomic Solutions")[Classifying Ergonomic Solutions](https://ergotronix.com/classifying-ergonomic-solutions/) - [![Custom Solutions: Ergonomic Lifting Devices and Positioners](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png)](https://ergotronix.com/custom-solutions-ergonomic-machines-devices-and-positioners/ "Custom Solutions: Ergonomic Lifting Devices and Positioners")[Custom Solutions: Ergonomic Lifting Devices and Positioners](https://ergotronix.com/custom-solutions-ergonomic-machines-devices-and-positioners/) - [![Identifying Ergonomic Hazards in the Industrial Workplace](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png)](https://ergotronix.com/identifying-ergonomic-hazards/ "Identifying Ergonomic Hazards in the Industrial Workplace")[Identifying Ergonomic Hazards in the Industrial Workplace](https://ergotronix.com/identifying-ergonomic-hazards/) - [![Improving Industrial Safety with a Telescopic Lift System](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png)](https://ergotronix.com/telescopic-lift-the-ergo-i/ "Improving Industrial Safety with a Telescopic Lift System")[Improving Industrial Safety with a Telescopic Lift System](https://ergotronix.com/telescopic-lift-the-ergo-i/) © Ergotronix, Inc. \| All Rights Reserved \| Managed by [David Taylor Digital \| NJ Digital Marketing](https://www.davidtaylordigital.com/) Manage Cookie Consent To provide the best experiences, we use technologies like cookies to store and/or access device information.

To achieve this, adopting smart ergonomic material handling strategies is crucial. Did you know that workplace injuries and musculoskeletal disorders account for a significant portion of company expenses? According to many studies, [injuries, including overexertion and repetitive motion](https://www.osha.gov/businesscase/costs), cost businesses almost a billion dollars a week. By integrating ergonomic principles into your material handling processes, you can not only protect your most valuable asset, your workers, but also optimize efficiency and save money. With the right approach to ergonomic material handling, it is possible to [reduce worker strain](https://ergotronix.com/improve-productivity-with-a-work-positioner/), enhance productivity, and minimize the risk of accidents. Let’s explore the importance of ergonomics in the modern material handling industry and how it can revolutionize your operations. ## **Improving Safety and Reducing Worker Strain** The first and foremost advantage of ergonomic material handling is its potential to improve safety and reduce worker strain. Traditional manual lifting and material handling methods often expose workers to repetitive motion injuries, back strains, and other musculoskeletal disorders. By incorporating ergonomic equipment and tools, such as powered lifts and adjustable workstations, you can mitigate these risks. Workers will experience less physical strain and fatigue, leading to increased job satisfaction and reduced absenteeism. ## **Ergonomic Material Handling Enhances Productivity** Ergonomic material handling strategies are not only beneficial for worker well-being but also for productivity. When ergonomic principles are applied, tasks are redesigned to align with the workers’ natural body movements and capabilities, leading to more efficient work processes. This alignment reduces the physical strain and fatigue on workers, allowing them to perform tasks more quickly and with less effort. For example, by introducing adjustable positioning equipment or reorganizing a workspace to minimize unnecessary movements, workers can handle materials more efficiently. This not only speeds up the material handling process but also minimizes the time spent on each task, leading to a higher overall output. Additionally, when workers experience less fatigue and physical strain, they can maintain a consistent level of performance throughout their shift, further boosting productivity. Many studies have shown that [implementing ergonomics improves worker morale](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9518517/). ## **Optimizing Workflow and Space Utilization** Another key benefit of ergonomic material handling is its ability to optimize workflow and space utilization. With ergonomic equipment and layouts, you can design a more efficient and streamlined work environment. By utilizing vertical storage systems, you can maximize available floor space, improve accessibility to materials, and enhance overall organization. You should also be arranging tools and materials within easy reach to reduce the need for workers to move across large distances, thereby conserving space that would otherwise be required for wider aisles or extra storage areas. Ergonomic equipment such as compact lifting devices or modular workstations can be designed to fit into smaller spaces or to be easily reconfigured as needs change, further optimizing the use of space in a material handling setting. This efficient space utilization not only improves operational flow but also can lead to cost savings by reducing the need for larger premises or extensive storage facilities. ## **Reducing Workplace Fatigue and Injuries** Fatigue and injuries are common issues in industries that involve repetitive or physically demanding tasks. Ergonomic interventions are designed to adapt work environments and tasks to fit the capabilities and limitations of workers, thereby reducing the physical stress on their bodies. Injuries can include a range of conditions affecting muscles, tendons, nerves, and joints, particularly in the back, neck, shoulders, and limbs. They often result from repetitive motions, awkward postures, prolonged standing, or lifting and moving heavy objects – common elements in material handling tasks. By redesigning these tasks to be more ergonomic, such as using mechanical aids for lifting or adjusting the height of work surfaces and altering the frequency and methods of repetitive tasks, the risk of injury is significantly reduced. ## **Business Cost Savings as a Result** The cost savings associated with implementing ergonomics in material handling are multifaceted and substantial. Primarily, they stem from the reduction in workplace injuries and associated costs. As discussed, ergonomic interventions lead to a decrease in musculoskeletal disorders and other injuries resulting from repetitive strain, overexertion, or improper lifting, positioning and handling techniques, and this is what translates to cost for the business. These injuries can be costly for businesses, encompassing direct costs like medical treatment, physical therapy, and compensation claims. Moreover, there are indirect costs, such as the expense of hiring and training replacement workers, lost productivity, and potential increases in insurance premiums. By reducing the incidence of these injuries, ergonomics offers a direct pathway to financial savings. When workers are equipped with ergonomic tools and operate in environments designed to minimize strain and fatigue, they can perform tasks more efficiently and with greater speed. This increased productivity translates to higher output with the same or fewer resources, optimizing operational costs. Additionally, ergonomic practices can extend the working life of employees by reducing the wear and tear on their bodies, leading to savings in recruitment and training costs for new employees ## **Investing in Ergonomic Material Handling Equipment** To fully harness the benefits of ergonomic material handling, it is essential to invest in the right equipment. There are several types of ergonomic equipment available, ranging from lifting aids to adjustable workstations and lifting tables. When selecting ergonomic equipment, it is important to consider factors such as the specific tasks involved, the frequency of material handling, and the physical capabilities of your workers. Additionally, ergonomic equipment should be regularly maintained and inspected to ensure its optimal performance and longevity. ## **Ergonomic Material Handling Is a Smart Move** In the competitive world of modern industry, prioritizing the safety and well-being of your workers is a smart move. By implementing ergonomic material handling strategies and investing in ergonomic equipment, you can create a safer work environment, reduce worker strain, enhance productivity, and minimize the risk of injuries and accidents. Remember, a well-designed ergonomic approach not only benefits your workers but also positively impacts your bottom line. Take action today to revolutionize your material handling processes.

Due to its unique design, the Ergo Roll®is more versatile than traditional ball transfer rollers or skate wheels. The Ergo Roll®multi-directional function and agility is structured around the principle of mounting four free turning football shaped rollers in a 90 degree staggered pattern around the perimeter of a main wheel hub. This arrangement provides a total of five rotational axles per each wheel assembly. In a single or duplex wheel configuration, where two wheels are placed side-by-side, a total of nine individual rotational turning axles allow for flawless multi-directional conveyor movement. You can smoothly turn or transfer products or materials in any direction, whether your application relies on gravity or motorization for movement. Made from non-marring self-lubricating plastics material, the Ergo Roll®, eliminates scratching of a finished product surface and works equally well in dry or wet applications Its large load-carrying surface area, diminishes product indentation. The open construction allows for particles or dirt, in the use application, to gravitate through the roller structure, without causing binding or lock-up of the multi-directional roller function. The Ergo Roll®conveyor roller doesn’t require maintenance or lubrication to provide a worry-free sort and transfer service life. Available for most common axle configurations, the Ergo Roll® provides for easy installation into existing or new gravity or motor driven conveyor applications, where material or packages need to be smoothly and easily transferred, sorted or turned in any direction ![Quotation mark](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/shape.svg) ### Of all the rollers we have purchased, we have had zero failures and they all still work as they did the day they were installed. #### Scott Berry ##### Vesuvius More Testimonials * * * ### Our assembly employees found that if they apply the Ergo Roll®with a graphite lubricant, the mortar being used in our assembly process would not stick to the rollers and could easily be removed after it dries.

At Ergotronix, we apply the principles of ergonomics to help boost the efficiency, safety, and well-being of industrial workers. Factories and businesses that prioritize ergonomic practices and designs can reduce fatigue and repetitive motion injuries while maximizing productivity and morale. Also known as human factors engineering, ergonomics focuses on designing and arranging workspaces, equipment, tools, and tasks to match the needs, capabilities, and needs of individual workers. The goal is to optimize the interaction between workers and their work environment. Here are five benefits of ergonomic manufacturing equipment in the workplace: ## 1\. Improves Safety Ergonomics plays a crucial role in minimizing workplace injuries in industrial settings. Manual handling of heavy or odd-shaped objects and materials can increase the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Strains, sprains, and back problems are common among workers in factories that don’t practice ergonomics. Most injuries stem from overexertion and bodily reactions. Injuries can cause pain and suffering, in addition to lost productivity and costly workers’ compensation claims. Using ergonomic manufacturing equipment from Ergotronix is one way to reduce the risk of injury and improve workplace safety. Specialized lifting equipment like [column lifts](https://ergotronix.com/column-lift-improves-worker-safety/) can improve worker safety and morale. Industrial work positioners, proper hand tools, less vibration, and adjustable controls are all proponents of ergonomic material handling. Implementing ergonomic design principles can help mitigate the risk of strains, fatigue, and repetitive motion injuries linked to material handling. The designs consider the physical and cognitive abilities of workers, aiming to prevent cumulative trauma disorders, minimize injuries, and reduce the number of days away from work. Effective implementation of workplace ergonomics can eliminate injury risk factors, which leads to an overall safer work environment. ## 2\. Promotes Worker Health Repetitive bending, twisting, turning, heavy lifting, and reaching motions can lead to strain and fatigue. Most factory workers without ergonomic equipment suffer discomfort and injuries in the back, shoulders, wrists, and knees. About [9%](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr189.pdf) of all workers suffer repetitive strain injuries every year. Recovering from strains and discomforts at work usually involves scheduling a visit to a doctor or physical therapist. Severe injuries might require several weeks of rest or even corrective surgery. These injuries impact the quality of life of workers and lead to poor health. Strenuous jobs may also leave workers dejected and less motivated to exercise their full potential. Ergonomic manufacturing equipment and tools are designed to enable workers to perform their tasks without much strain. Features, such as adjustable height equipment, anti-fatigue flooring, and padded handles can help reduce physical strain and fatigue. Integrating these features in the workplace allows workers to maintain energy levels throughout their shifts. Utilizing ergonomic equipment promotes worker health by reducing the risk factors that can result in injuries and disabilities. Factories that apply ergonomic practices also help to improve their workers’ quality of life outside the workplace. ## 3\. Improves Productivity and Efficiency Ergonomics seeks to optimize the entire work process through comprehensive evaluations of each task. Manufacturing ergonomists primarily aim to identify and reduce the risk factors that cause worker injuries. Reducing strain, injuries, and discomfort has an immediate impact on productivity. [Smart ergonomic material handling](https://ergotronix.com/ergonomic-material-handling-in-modern-industry/) takes less time and effort to bring objects from the floor to within reach. These machines are designed to eliminate extra movements, lower cycle times, and increase productivity. Our ergonomic lifting tools also reduce pinching, pushing, and pulling, significantly improving the work process while decreasing cycle times. Workers can find the jobs easier to perform, allowing them to focus on task efficiency and quality. Material handling operations require efficiency, which directly affects speed, accuracy, and quality of work. Utilizing ergonomic equipment can enhance worker comfort and confidence, besides reducing the time required to complete specific tasks. Incorporating ergonomic controls can also reduce the learning curve, make equipment easier to operate, and minimize the risk of errors. Fewer injuries and discomforts also result in less time away from work and boosted morale, which translates to improved productivity. ## 4\. Reduces Costs Worker injuries are costly but often unaccounted for. When a worker is injured or in discomfort, they may take time off work, which directly impacts productivity and turnover. In 2021 alone, over [500,000](https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/work/safety-topics/overexertion-and-bodily-reaction/) cases of days away from work were reported by workers. In such cases, supervisors may need to reschedule shifts and train new workers to perform the task previously handled by the injured employee. Co-workers may also need to work overtime to cover for the injured peer. If the injury is severe, the worker may claim the company’s workers’ compensation benefits. These claims have to be processed by human resource teams, who must review the case, file reports, and finalize incident reviews. Managers may also need to interview workers to get to the bottom of the issue and provide report findings for the company. All these steps require time and cost money. Implementing ergonomic practices in the workplace can help reduce the risk of injury, thereby reducing associated costs. Fewer injuries translate to less money spent on workers’ compensation. Ergonomic manufacturing tools also improve productivity while maintaining healthy and motivated workers. These benefits can positively impact the cost and profitability of the company. Here are the obvious ways workplace ergonomics reduce costs: - Minimizes musculoskeletal disorder - Reduces injury incidents - Leads to fewer lost workdays - Reduces restricted days - Lowers labor costs, Reduces worker compensation costs ## 5\. Improves Quality Workers can hardly do their best work if they’re experiencing discomfort or straining to complete tasks. If workers aren’t giving their best, the quality of their work will suffer. Work quality may also suffer when the skilled employee who’s supposed to be handling the task is injured and no longer available. Lost workdays usually result in task reassignment to less experienced or trained workers. Even if the replacement is experienced, they might be working overtime, which increases fatigue. Besides, they’ll still be dealing with the same risks that injured the first worker. Lowering work quality can be costly, which is why businesses and factories need effective ergonomics programs. Ergonomic practices can help establish standard operating procedures, minimize risk, and maintain quality. Utilizing ergonomic tools and equipment allows workers to perform their jobs without discomfort, which impacts their perspective on the culture and standards of the company. Safer work environments and fewer taxing tasks can also increase job satisfaction, helping businesses retain their experienced workforce. Ergotronix [ergonomic manufacturing solutions](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/) help to reduce physical effort, allowing workers to focus more on quality issues and eliminate errors. Implementing ergonomics can also reduce turnover and absenteeism, and improve employee morale and engagement, resulting in consistent work quality. ## Key Takeaways Ergonomics is important for creating a better, safer workplace culture. Companies that utilize ergonomic manufacturing tools show their commitment to employee safety and well-being. Healthy employees are the driving force behind growth and business success. Using ergonomic equipment can help foster a safety and health culture that leads to improved workforce performance, efficiency, and morale.

Building applicable solutions to your work problems are what we do. Don’t wait until you get hurt or spend money on machinery that doesn’t last. Planning is everything. What is your plan? Ergotronix is a company that offers smart solutions that resolves common challenges found in today’s factories. Our company makes it easier and safer for workers to handle manufacturing and assembly jobs with smart, integrated, work positioning solutions. Lifting and moving heavy objects is a common ergonomic challenge. It usually takes two or more workers and a lot of brute force to pull or pick something up, especially when dealing with shelves, ladders, and high storage areas. ## **Ergotronix Material Handling Equipment** This is where we come in. Our engineering team works with you to develop unique solutions that better assist workers to provide safe and more efficient _[lift assist](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift-transport/)_/ _[work positioner](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/position/#tab-ergo-master)_ devices. A work manipulator allows users to adjust as needed to permit working positions that provide a better approach to the product. This allows the worker’s arms, neck, and back to remain in a suitable position for maximum strength and comfortability. Our work positioners manipulate the product to create a painless and secure work environment. Our primary goal for all activities is to work in optimal postures. A good general rule is that work should be done at about elbow height. Working at this height generally enables the optimal working posture for the whole body. Changing the position of the item (slanting, turning, changing height,) can improve the worker’s position on the item both physically and visually. When using an adjustable height work positioner, employee strain and fatigue are nonexistent, which results in the practice of ergonomics. Check out how we can solve your ergonomic needs!

They provide workers with the capabilities and tools they need to do their jobs far more safely and efficiently than they would be able to with traditional methods. ### Some industries that use adjustable work positioners: - Automotive - Aerospace - Manufacturing - Mining An adjustable work positioner can significantly aid welding and assembly operations in these industries, by making it easier to manipulate work elements like work height, angle of work, and or speed. Read this article to learn more about the many benefits of an adjustable work positioner like the Ergo Chief can offer your operation. ## **What Are the Risks Associated With Physical Strain?** There are many [different risks](https://ehs.unc.edu/topics/ergonomics/lifting-and-material-handling/) associated with physical strain in the workplace, which is why it’s critical to be aware of them and work to prevent them with [ergonomic work equipment](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/). Here are some of the common health issues associated with excessive strain: ### **Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs)** Prolonged physical strain can result in musculoskeletal disorders, including conditions like: - Sprains - Strains - Muscle tears - Tendonitis. Disorders such as these cause pain and reduced mobility if they are not addressed properly, and can even lead to long-term muscle issues or damage. ### **Back and Spinal Problems** Lifting heavy objects or maintaining awkward postures can strain the back and spine, leading to conditions such as: - Herniated discs - Sciatica - [Chronic back pain](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/back-pain/symptoms-causes/syc-20369906#:~:text=Repeated%20heavy%20lifting%20or%20a,the%20bones%20in%20the%20spine.) These issues can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. ### **Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs)** Repetitive movements can lead to RSIs like carpal tunnel syndrome and bursitis. These injuries cause all kinds of discomfort in the affected areas, including: - Pain - Numbness - Tingling - Weakness ### **Joint Disorders** Ongoing physical strain is particularly known for taking a toll on workers’ joints. Osteoarthritis is a common result, occurring when cartilage wears down in the joints because of excessive pressure and movement. ### **Cardiovascular Issues** Intense physical strain doesn’t just impact the bones and joints either. Cardiac health can be massively impacted by physical strain because your heart must pump harder to oxygenize stressed-out muscles. Long-term cardiac problems include: - High blood pressure - Heart palpitations - Heart attacks ### **Fatigue and Exhaustion** Fatigue and exhaustion is another common result of physical strain. When the brain is tired, this can result in significant on-the-job dangers like: - Reduced concentration - Impaired decision-making - An increased risk of accidents ### **Stress and Mental Health** Chronic physical strain can contribute to job-related stress and even long-term mental health issues like anxiety and depression. The discomfort and limitations caused by physical pain can lead to decreased job satisfaction and overall mental well-being. ### **Injury Risks** Physical strain increases the likelihood of workplace injuries due to reduced stability and control. Workers are more susceptible to accidents such as trips and falls. ## **What Are the Benefits of an Adjustable Work Positioner?** An [adjustable work positioner](https://ergotronix.com/improve-productivity-with-a-work-positioner/) can do much to boost employee safety and comfort within your workplace. Here are some of the top benefits that they can offer: ### **Ergonomic Comfort** One of the largest benefits of adjustable work positioners is the increased ergonomic comfort that they provide. With them, your work can adjust workstations as needed, allowing for optimal heights and work angles. Not everyone has the same height or body type, so having customizable workstations helps workers maintain proper body alignment. This in turn reduces the risk of musculoskeletal disorders like back pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. ### **Reduced Physical Strain** By enabling workers to position their stations and associated equipment at comfortable heights, an adjustable work positioner minimizes physical strain on muscles and joints. This reduces the likelihood of injuries caused by awkward postures and repetitive motions, leading to greater overall well-being. ### **Increased Productivity** It’s a simple fact of life that comfortable employees are more focused and productive. Adjustable work positioners can help workers maintain their energy levels throughout the day, reducing the risk of fatigue and enhancing concentration. This in turn positively impacts your operations, allowing for increased productivity and company profits. ### **Improved Mood and Well-Being** Everyone knows that standing or moving in the same position for long periods isn’t good for you. Adjustable work positioners remedy this common workplace problem since they allow workers to customize their workstations to their daily needs. This can have a hugely positive impact on your [employees’ moods](https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbescoachescouncil/2022/06/01/eight-ways-to-boost-your-teams-mental-health/?sh=557e34c56438) and well-being! Your workers will be more comfortable both physically and mentally, and can instead just focus on doing their jobs. ### **Adaptability to Physical Needs** Accessibility is critical in the workplace, both for attracting a diverse workforce and for ensuring you’re complying with [ADA regulations](https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/ada-your-responsibilities-employer). Adjustable work positioners can be especially helpful for employees who are experiencing injuries or disabilities. If an employee has specific needs for their workstation, having features that allow them to easily adjust it can help them remain productive and engaged while on the clock. ### **Employee Retention and Attraction** Providing adjustable work positioners demonstrates a commitment to employee well-being and can enhance a company’s appeal as a modern, health-conscious workplace. This can contribute to higher employee retention rates and attract top talent. ## **Introducing the Ergo Chief** ![Ergo Chief Motorized Work Positioner Vertical Only](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/ergo-chief-vertical-1.jpg)There are many adjustable work positioners out there, but not all of them are created equal.

Through technological [**advancements**](https://ergotronix.com/safety-in-ergonomics/) and innovation, human beings have over time designed tools to complete tasks more quickly, easily, and precisely. Usage of such tools is not without its own set of risk factors and shortcomings. Workers holding and operating these tools during the majority of their workday, often subjects themselves to several **[MSDs risk factors](https://ergotronix.com/understanding-musculoskeletal-disorders-risk-factors-resulting-from-work-tasks/)**, such as: - Vibration - Force - Posture - Contact stress - Repetitive motion The relative contribution of the physical stress factors from using hand tools are many times difficult to separate from the extensive physical use of the upper limbs in the work process. For instance, hand tool operators may need to assume awkward postures dictated by a specific tool handle location and/or work piece orientation. If the hand tool is powered it may also introduce vibration stress on the human body. Hand tools may also have triggers that can cause contact stress from sharp edges against the fingers or palm. The hands may at the same time be exposed to cold air produced from pneumatic tool exhaust outlets. In summary, hand tools can be problematic to an employee’s health if no ergonomic measures are implemented. Currently, there are numerous hand tools being marketed as “ergonomic.” Many of these tools have features that may have ergonomic benefits when used correctly. Although some of these tools may have desirable properties, ergonomics experts concur that when selecting a specific tool without considering the total task requirements, may have potentially detrimental consequences. As stated previously, one of the more common culprits, especially with power tools, is awkward postures. Awkward postures are some of the most frequent remedied ailments solved through the implementation of [**multi-axis work positioners**](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/position/). Such adjustable, multi-axis work positioners are most advantageous as they offer a high degree of versatility and personal flexibility to work comfort.

We know that such stress can be a major contributor to more severe health issues, unless mitigated in time. One such mitigation factor is utilizing ergonomic intervention methods. When physical stress is recognized and mitigated, and the employee workplace is prioritized, employees are more likely to stay healthy, motivated and be more productive. Employees that experience less physical stress factors are exponentially less likely to develop MSD’s, that will impact quality of life and their performance on the shop floor. In an idyllic world, the altruistic employer would implement suitable ergonomic solutions freely, but reality often limits real interventions to dollars and cents available. While it is difficult to quantify the quality of someone’s health, it is typically much easier to quantify dollars spent on rehabilitation after a work-related injury. When ergonomic interventions are implemented, it not only reduces physical stress and increases safety, but also sends the message that the employees are valuable, which in turn increases employee motivation and their production output. All important components for overall success.

Did you know that utilizing ergonomic principles can have a significant impact on the efficiency, safety, and well-being of workers in industrial settings? In fact, according to recent studies, businesses that [prioritize ergonomic design and practices](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8669597/) in their material handling processes see a big decrease in workplace injuries. Let’s dive deep into the ergonomics of modern material handling equipment and explore how it can benefit not only the workers but also the overall performance of your organization. Whether you are a decision-maker in manufacturing, an engineer, an operator, or an ergonomist, this article will provide you with valuable insights and practical solutions to enhance your material handling operations. ## **Understanding Ergonomics** Ergonomics, also known as human factors engineering, is the scientific study of designing and arranging workspaces, tools, equipment, and tasks to fit the capabilities, limitations, and needs of each individual. [The goal of ergonomics](https://ergotronix.com/customized-manufacturing-solutions/) is to optimize the interaction between people and their work environment to maximize productivity, lessen fatigue, and minimize the risk of injuries and musculoskeletal disorders. When it comes to material handling, ergonomics plays a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of workers and the efficiency of the process. By considering the physical and cognitive abilities of individuals, ergonomic design principles can be applied to minimize strain, fatigue, and repetitive motion injuries commonly associated with material handling tasks. ## **Importance of Ergonomic Material Handling Equipment** Material handling equipment refers to machinery, tools, and systems used to move, store, control, and protect materials and products during the manufacturing, distribution, and warehousing processes. Whether it’s forklifts, conveyors, pallet jacks, or lifting devices, incorporating ergonomic design features and practices into the development of material handling equipment can lead to significant benefits. ### **Minimize Injuries** The manual handling of heavy and awkward materials can put workers at risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). These injuries, such as strains, sprains, and back problems, can not only cause pain and suffering for the individuals but also result in costly workers’ compensation claims and lost productivity for the organization. Thankfully, by implementing ergonomic solutions in material handling equipment, such as adjustable controls, proper hand tools, and reduced vibration, the risk of injuries can be greatly mitigated. ### **Reduce Strain and Fatigue** Repetitive lifting, twisting, and reaching motions can lead to fatigue and strain on the body, particularly in the back, shoulders, and wrists. Around 9% of workers have [repetitive strain injuries every year](https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhsr/nhsr189.pdf). Ergonomically designed material handling equipment takes these factors into account by incorporating features like adjustable heights, padded handles, and anti-fatigue flooring.

Engage with employees to gather insights into the physical challenges they face in their roles, as this can reveal specific problem areas that might not be obvious at first glance. The next step is to conduct a thorough risk assessment of each task or workstation. Look for risk factors like repetitive movements, awkward postures, prolonged sitting or standing, heavy lifting, or poor workstation design. Utilize ergonomic assessment tools like Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA), or the Ergonomic Assessment Worksheet to systematically evaluate risk levels. Observing employees while they perform their tasks is crucial. Take notes, and if possible, photographs or videos to document current work processes, postures, and interactions with tools and equipment. ### **Modify Existing Equipment** Modifying equipment to be more ergonomic involves making adjustments or additions that align with the natural posture and movements of the body, thereby reducing strain and improving comfort. Start by evaluating the existing equipment in terms of how it’s used and the physical demands it places on users. Straight-forward modifications to the existing workplace may include redesigning tools to reduce the need for awkward hand positions, adding handles or grips to ease manual handling, or altering the height of workbenches to reduce the need for bending or stretching. Beyond physical modifications, consider the integration of technology to enhance ergonomics. Implementing adjustable, motorized equipment can allow for easy customization to suit different users, reducing the physical exertion required for tasks like lifting or moving heavy objects. ### **Invest in Ergonomic Material Handling Equipment** When purchasing new material handling equipment, prioritize those models that have been specifically designed with ergonomic features. Look for adjustable controls, anti-fatigue flooring, intuitive user interfaces, and safety enhancements. ## **Consider the Ergonomic Material Handling Equipment** The ergonomics of material handling equipment have a substantial impact on the well-being and performance of workers in commercial and industrial settings.

The EH&S manager of a large pharmaceutical company contacted Ergotronix to develop an ergonomic lift assist device to retrieve and install rolls of plastic shrink wrap. There was an expenditure budget allocated for this equipment and the new solution could not take longer to perform.
Application Data:
Roll Dimensions: 24” Long x 16” diameter with a 3” core.
Roll Weight: 45. lbs.
Roll Storage Cart: 36” Long x 32” Wide x 45” High, (four rolls on the cart)
Packaging Machine Lower Mandrel Height, C/L from Floor: 15”
Packaging Machine Upper Mandrel Height, C/L from Floor: 64”
Previous Process:
The operator manually retrieves the roll from the roll storage cart in the vertical “eye-to-the-sky” position. The operator then carries the roll approximately 10’ to the packaging machine where they will first articulate the roll to the horizontal position, and then push the roll onto one of the two packaging machine roll feed mandrels. The centerline heights of the mandrels from the floor are 15” and 64” respectively. This manual technique has resulted in lost time due to back injuries, strains and general soreness. The customer tasked Ergotronix with eliminating 100% of the operator lifting, handling and pushing of the rolls.
Ergotronix Solution:
To tackle this challenge Ergotronix designed and built a custom Ergo Tranz model ET220F compact transporter, with a 90-degree turn mandrel, inside-the-core style gripper. The mandrel expander gripper also features a motorized roll push-off. For ergonomic ease of use, the Ergo Tranz features preset minimum and maximum lift heights to match the two packaging machine mandrel heights, custom cut legs for easy movement and positioning of the Ergo Tranz in tight spaces around the packaging machine. The unit also features all anodized coated aluminum surfaces as well as all stainless-steel hardware, fasteners, nuts and bolts.
New Process:
The operator retrieves the Ergo Tranz model ET220F and positions the mandrel expander, in the vertical position, above the cart mounted roll. Once in position above the roll, the operator uses the conveniently located hand pendant to lower the mandrel expander into the roll core. Once inside the roll core, the operator then activates the mandrel expander, which then tightly grips the inside core of the roll, making it safe and easy to handle. The operator then raises the roll from the cart using the Ergo Tranz. Once clear of the roll cart, the operator transports the roll to the packaging using the hand pendant, the operator will articulate the roll from the vertical position to the horizontal position. The operator will then align the roll core with the packing machine mandrel that they will be loading the roll onto by using the hand pendant and preset on the Ergo Tranz. After the roll is lined up to the mandrel, the operator simply uses the hand pendant to activate the motorized roll push off to unload the roll from the Ergo Tranz, onto the packaging machine mandrel, and the operation is complete. This is especially needed for their application as the height where the operator would push off was high above their head.
Post-Installation Feedback:
The operators have been very pleased with the with the ergonomic improvement gained by the utilization of the Ergo Tranz. They have also been very pleased with the reliability of the equipment. | | | | | | --- | | | | | --- | | | | ![Lift Assist Device with mandrel expander end effector](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/826fda01-62e6-4489-b0b4-98126bdc8bf2-150x150.jpeg) ## Get In Touch \[contact-form-7 id=”98″\] [« Back to Blog](https://ergotronix.com/news/) Recent Posts - [![Key Benefits of Using Multi-axis Welding Positioners](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png)](https://ergotronix.com/benefits-of-multi-axis-welding-positioners/ "Key Benefits of Using Multi-axis Welding Positioners")[Key Benefits of Using Multi-axis Welding Positioners](https://ergotronix.com/benefits-of-multi-axis-welding-positioners/) - [![Improving Warehouse Efficiency with Industrial Lifting Equipment](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png)](https://ergotronix.com/industrial-lifting-equipment/ "Improving Warehouse Efficiency with Industrial Lifting Equipment")[Improving Warehouse Efficiency with Industrial Lifting Equipment](https://ergotronix.com/industrial-lifting-equipment/) - [![Using the Ergo Tranz as Tote Lifting Equipment](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png)](https://ergotronix.com/ergo-tranz-tote-lifting-equipment/ "Using the Ergo Tranz as Tote Lifting Equipment")[Using the Ergo Tranz as Tote Lifting Equipment](https://ergotronix.com/ergo-tranz-tote-lifting-equipment/) - [![Classifying Ergonomic Solutions](https://www.ergotronix.com/wp-content/themes/jupiter/images/dummy.png)](https://ergotronix.com/classifying-ergonomic-solutions/ "Classifying Ergonomic Solutions")[Classifying Ergonomic Solutions](https://ergotronix.com/classifying-ergonomic-solutions/) © Ergotronix, Inc. \| All Rights Reserved \| Managed by [David Taylor Digital \| NJ Digital Marketing](https://www.davidtaylordigital.com/) Manage Cookie Consent To provide the best experiences, we use technologies like cookies to store and/or access device information.

It enhances employee well-being, boosts productivity, and promotes a safer work environment. Using scientific insights and [best practices](https://news.briotix.com/manufacturing-ergonomics), we will help you create an efficient and comfortable workspace. ## What Is Design Ergonomics? Design ergonomics involves the study of how to tailor work environments and tools to fit users, optimizing human well-being and overall system performance. It focuses on designing equipment, systems, and processes that align with human bodies’ capabilities and limitations. The goal is to minimize physical strain by adapting the work environment to the user rather than forcing the user to adapt to uncomfortable conditions. Ergonomics encompasses everything from the layout of office spaces to the design of furniture and tools that are used daily. This discipline integrates knowledge from various fields, such as psychology, biomechanics, and kinesiology, to improve the interactions between people and their environments. Effective ergonomic design reduces the risk of injury, enhances comfort, and improves efficiency and productivity. ## The Science Behind Design Ergonomics in the Workplace The science of ergonomics is grounded in an understanding of human anatomy, physiology, and psychology to optimize workplace design. Research shows that well-designed ergonomic environments can significantly [reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders](https://ergocenter.ncsu.edu/ergohowl_q2_2021/#:~:text=The%20study%20found%20a%2059,43%25%20decrease%20in%20labor%20costs.) among employees, which are common ailments related to repetitive tasks, poor posture, and prolonged inactivity. Studies have demonstrated that ergonomic interventions, such as adjustable chairs, desks, and monitor stands, [directly reduce discomfort and physical stress](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6517177/). By scientifically analyzing employees’ tasks, ergonomists can design workplaces that foster better health and increased job satisfaction. These adjustments help maintain the spine’s natural curvature, support proper hand and wrist positions, and ensure that necessary objects are within easy reach. Ergonomic improvements often [reduce absenteeism and lower healthcare costs](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8010160/) for companies. Employees who feel physically better and less tired can concentrate more effectively and produce higher-quality work. The science behind ergonomics supports a healthier workforce and promotes a culture of safety and wellness within the organization. ## How Design Ergonomics Enhances Employee Well-Being Ergonomic practices significantly enhance employee well-being in the workplace. A few examples include: ### Improved Physical Health Ergonomic designs help reduce physical pain associated with poor workplace setups, such as inadequate seating or improperly positioned workstations. By providing proper support and reducing strain, employees experience fewer musculoskeletal problems, among the most common work-related issues. This proactive approach to workplace health can significantly decrease the incidence of chronic injuries, leading to a healthier, more active workforce. ### Enhanced Mental Health Comfortable and well-designed work environments reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a calmer and more focused workspace. Employees feel cared for and valued, which improves their overall mental health and job satisfaction. Furthermore, a supportive ergonomic environment can enhance mental clarity and reduce mental fatigue, contributing to better overall mental wellness. ### Increased Engagement When employees are comfortable and free from pain, they are more engaged and motivated, directly impacting their productivity and quality of work. Ergonomic improvements can lead to a more vibrant and dynamic workplace where employees are likely to contribute more creatively and with greater commitment. The positive atmosphere of thoughtful ergonomic design encourages a stronger sense of community and collaboration among team members. ### Reduced Fatigue Proper ergonomic practices reduce physical fatigue by minimizing the strain on the body during work, allowing employees to maintain higher energy levels throughout the day. This leads to better performance and less overall fatigue, which can otherwise lead to decreased productivity and increased errors. In addition, reducing physical exhaustion supports quicker recovery times, enabling employees to enjoy their time more fully, which positively feeds into their professional roles. ### Boosted Morale A commitment to ergonomic improvements shows employees that their health and comfort are priorities, significantly enhancing their connection to the workplace. This boosts morale and fosters a positive company culture where employees feel appreciated and integral to the organization’s success. Such an environment attracts and retains quality talent, as workers are likelier to stay with a company that invests in their well-being and professional growth. ## The Impact of Ergonomics on Productivity Implementing ergonomic principles in the workplace leads to significant improvements in productivity. When employees are comfortable, and their workstations are designed to minimize discomfort, they can work more efficiently and with greater focus. Ergonomically designed tools and equipment speed up task completion and reduce the need for breaks typically caused by discomfort or injury. In addition, ergonomics can greatly decrease the time taken to perform certain tasks. For example, using properly designed tools that are easy to handle reduces the physical effort required, allowing for quicker and more precise work. This streamlined approach not only boosts output but also enhances the quality of the work produced, as employees are less likely to make mistakes that stem from fatigue or discomfort. ## Key Elements of Design Ergonomics When integrating ergonomic solutions into the workplace, certain key elements should always be considered. These include: - **Adjustability**: Workstations and tools should be adjustable to meet the diverse needs of different users, ensuring that everyone can find a comfortable working position. - **Accessibility**: Essential tools and equipment should be within easy reach to avoid unnecessary stretching or straining. - **Support**: Adequate support for the back, neck, and wrists helps prevent strain and injuries. - **Visibility**: Proper lighting and monitor placement are crucial to avoid eye strain and support sustained concentration. - **Movement**: Encouraging movement and varying postures can help prevent the health issues associated with prolonged sitting. These elements are vital for creating an ergonomic workplace that promotes health, safety, and productivity. ## Common Ergonomic Solutions for the Workplace Implementing ergonomic solutions can transform a standard workspace into a hub of productivity and well-being.

The benefits of ergonomic intervention are often undervalued because the initial upfront cost seems to be a roadblock to implementation. However, with proper attention and comparison, the benefits of ergonomic intervention, in most cases, outweighs the costs incurred during implementation. Fundamentally, measuring the financial impact of an ergonomic intervention should be rather straightforward. Such ROI calculations compare the financial benefits of a proposed solution to its costs. Below is a simplified equation to see the ultimate dollar amount that a company may spend and save through ergonomic intervention: ![Total cost of savings graphic](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/investing-in-ergonomics-snippet.png) **Direct costs**: incurred in response to a work-related injury-most notably worker’s compensation and additional medical care costs. **Indirect cost**: include increased insurance premiums due to accidents and claims, lost productivity, administrative costs, turnover and hire of new personnel, replacement costs for damaged materials, tools and property. These Indirect costs can have drastic financial repercussions and often outweigh the direct costs by a ratio of more than 3:1 **Internal ROI**: Refers to opportunities where the organization saves money. Examples of Internal Return on Investment include reduction in liability costs from injuries, reductions in paid absenteeism of employees, reductions in money designated for rehabilitation from workplace injuries, etc. **External ROI**: External ROI refers to customer benefits, like product improvements, increased sales from properly allocated resources, improved user experiences, etc. **Social ROI**: Social ROI is by far the most abstract and refers to, the strengthening of a corporate image, and the improvement of a brand in the eyes of the consumers. The total savings that come from ergonomic intervention can typically be easily identified. All it takes is a critical eye to spot the differences before and after the intervention. Typically, companies that choose to prioritize their employees welfare in the workplace, realize exponential dividends while implementing these ergonomic interventions.

Fortunately, several [ergonomic solutions](https://ergotronix.com/ergonomic-solutions-in-the-workplace/) exist with the express purpose of limiting injuries and making your manufacturing team more comfortable throughout the day. ## The Purpose of Your Industrial / Manufacturing Workstation Depending on the nature of the work performed at each workstation throughout your manufacturing floor, you’ll need to keep a variety of things in mind when it comes to work ergonomics. Welding stations, assembly lines, electrical set-ups, and packaging areas are just a few of the unique processes that manufacturing leads need to evaluate to enhance employee safety and comfort. Take a look at these simple guidelines to cover the basics of designing your workstations for ergonomic success. ## How to Adjust Your Work for Optimal Comfort To enhance your overall comfort, avoid straining, and perform your best work, there are several adjustments you can make. Consider the basics of the manufacturing work you perform on a daily basis to determine whether the following changes can and/or should be made. - Bring your equipment and materials closer to your station so that you can avoid overextending your joints by reaching out. Overextension can occur easily with repetitive movements and attempting to lift heavy objects from too great a distance from you. - When using hand tools, try to keep your fingers, arms, wrists, and back positioned naturally. Don’t twist your wrists into odd positions when using tools that require joint rotation, for example. - To keep you from leaning over your workstation or reaching up too high to perform work, see if adjusting your surface height is possible. When your station is at the right height, it can reduce back pain and prevent strains. - Along with avoiding overextension when reaching for materials, keep the same goal in mind when handling tools and equipment. [Position the tools you use so that they’re easy to retrieve](https://www.assemblymag.com/articles/97408-eight-principles-for-ergonomic-workstation-design?), and avoid making twisting or hunching motions when picking them up or putting them down. ## What Protective Gear to Wear Manufacturing professionals typically work with their hands on a regular basis, so wearing wrist support products can protect workers from sustaining sprains and other wrist injuries. Back support devices are also helpful in manufacturing work, as these items prevent slouching, incorrect form when lifting, and overall back pain. Furthermore, manufacturers who deal with hazardous or precarious materials [should wear proper PPE](https://www.themanufacturer.com/articles/protective-gear-and-ppe-for-the-manufacturing-industry/), including eyewear, gloves, respirators, hard hats, and skin barriers. ## Accessories That Can Improve Your Comfort Keeping manufacturing workstations comfortable yet efficient can be accomplished by examining the type of work performed in a given space and detailing the safety mistakes you commonly notice. For example, if employees at one station are constantly hunching over their equipment, providing height-adjustable chairs might be worth considering. If you notice that manufacturing professionals in your area tend to squint their eyes when performing tasks, you might need to [improve the light quality around your workstations](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/7-things-you-need-for-an-ergonomically-correct-workstation/). Workers who regularly bend, crouch, and kneel while they work may benefit from kneeling pads for their knees, grab bars to make standing easier, and lift-assisting devices that workers can use to lighten the loads they’re expected to move from the floor to the work surface. ## Proper Posture for Working at a Station Maintaining proper posture is an important element of work ergonomics. While assistive devices can make a big difference in reducing injuries and accidents at work, poor posture can undo much of the benefit that comes from focusing on ergonomics. Hunching and slouching, especially for long periods of time, can put unnecessary stress on an individual’s neck and spine. Sitting up or standing up straight is essential when it comes to preventing chronic pain conditions from developing. On top of sitting or standing with a straight back, workers should be able to see the work they’re performing by directing their eyes to their hands. If workers have to [tilt their heads more than 15 degrees up or down](https://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/ergonomics/office/monitor_positioning.html#:~:text=Such%20a%20location%20creates%20a,above%20the%20horizontal)%20is%20tiring.), the workstation is not positioned correctly. Finally, even if manufacturers use lift-assisting devices to move items from one height to another, the right lifting posture is still important to follow. Workers should bend at the knees to secure or lift an item instead of bending at the waist. Lifting should also be done using arm and leg strength rather than pulling from the spine. To implement ergonomic solutions in your workplace, [contact Ergotronix](https://ergotronix.com/). Ergotronix innovates for manufacturers with customizable, integrated equipment for factories. Whether your employees are lifting or bending, they have systems that transport and position the objects you are working on without strain or injury.

At Ergotronix, we specialize in integrating ergonomic solutions that transform traditional workspaces into environments that foster health, safety, and productivity. Now, we will explore how ergonomic principles can be applied to improve industrial workspaces, ensuring they are more conducive to worker needs and organizational goals. Our expertise guides companies through optimizing their [workspace design](https://ergo-plus.com/workplace-ergonomics-benefits/) to create sustainable and effective working conditions. ## An Overview of Ergonomic Design in Industrial Settings Ergonomic design in industrial environments focuses on adapting workspace layouts, tools, and equipment to fit the physiological and psychological needs of the workforce. This approach not only helps reduce the physical strain associated with industrial tasks but also enhances the overall functionality of the workspace. By prioritizing ergonomics, industries can see a significant reduction in work-related injuries and a boost in worker morale. Furthermore, ergonomic tools, such as [work positioners](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/position/#tab-ergo-chief), are tailored to a facility’s specific operations. They ensure that each solution is directly applicable and beneficial. For instance, custom workstations that adjust to the height and reach of individual workers can greatly decrease the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders. This customization goes beyond comfort, improving speed and quality of work, which are critical in high-stakes industrial operations. ## The Biggest Ergonomic Design Problems in the Industrial Workspace In many industrial settings, ergonomic issues stem from outdated designs and equipment that fail to meet worker safety and efficiency standards. These problems can significantly hinder productivity and increase the risk of injury. Addressing these challenges requires a detailed understanding of the most common ergonomic pitfalls. They include: ### Inadequate Workstation Design Many industrial workstations are not designed with the worker’s body in mind, leading to awkward postures and repetitive strain. Proper ergonomic redesign can adjust the height, distance, and angle of work surfaces to optimize posture and reduce unnecessary physical effort. By focusing on each workstation’s specific tasks, ergonomic design ensures that workers can perform their duties comfortably and safely, preventing long-term health issues and enhancing job satisfaction. ### Poor Material Handling Practices Manual handling of heavy materials without the aid of ergonomic tools is a prevalent issue that leads to overexertion and injury. Integrating equipment such as [automated lift assists](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift/) and adjustable pallet loaders can dramatically decrease the physical strain on workers. These tools improve safety and increase efficiency as workers can move heavier and more cumbersome materials with less effort and lower risk of workplace accidents. ### Insufficient Lighting Poor lighting in industrial environments can lead to eye strain and work errors. Implementing well-designed lighting systems that provide sufficient brightness and reduce glare can help maintain worker vision health and task accuracy. Enhanced lighting improves workers’ ability to perform precision tasks, reduces the likelihood of mistakes, and contributes to a safer and more productive work environment. ### Lack of Rest Breaks Continuous work without adequate breaks can exacerbate physical and mental fatigue. Encouraging regular rest periods and providing areas designed for relaxation can help maintain high productivity levels throughout the workday. Comfortable rest areas removed from the noise and hustle of the main work areas offer employees a chance to recharge, leading to improved concentration and job performance upon their return to work. ### Noise Pollution Excessive noise impairs hearing over time and reduces concentration and worker communication. Implementing sound-dampening panels and providing personal hearing protection are effective ways to manage noise levels in industrial settings. These measures protect employees’ hearing and create a quieter, more focused environment that facilitates better communication and teamwork. ## The Principles of Ergonomic Design Effective ergonomic design is grounded in several core principles that ensure every intervention is beneficial and sustainable. A few key principles to consider include: - **Adjustability**: Workstations and tools should be adaptable to meet the needs of different users, promoting inclusivity and flexibility in their use. - **Accessibility**: Equipment and materials should be within easy reach to minimize excessive stretching or bending, common causes of workplace injury. - **Visibility**: Proper lighting and clear labeling are crucial to prevent eye strain and errors, enhancing both safety and productivity. - **Comfort**: Designs should promote a comfortable working posture by providing adequate support and minimizing the need for repetitive motions. - **Safety**: All ergonomic solutions must enhance worker safety by incorporating features that prevent accidents and facilitate easy access to emergency controls. Incorporating these principles into the design and layout of an industrial workspace can significantly improve worker well-being and operational outcomes. ## Analyzing the Current State of Your Workspace Evaluating the current state of your workspace is the first step in implementing effective ergonomic solutions. This analysis should include a comprehensive review of the physical workspace, the tasks performed, and the interaction between workers and their tools. Observing the daily operations can highlight areas where ergonomic interventions are needed most. For example, [better lifts and transporters](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift-transport/) could reduce injuries and boost productivity. In addition, gathering feedback from employees about their work experiences and any discomfort they face can provide valuable insights that may not be immediately obvious from an external review. This feedback and data on workplace injuries and productivity rates form a solid foundation for planning ergonomic improvements. ## How Ergonomic Design Affects Worker Health and Productivity The integration of ergonomic design in industrial settings has a profound effect on worker health and overall productivity. Ergonomically optimized workspaces reduce the physical strains that lead to musculoskeletal disorders, one of the most common causes of long-term pain and disability among workers. Furthermore, ergonomic improvements often lead to more streamlined workflows, significantly enhancing productivity and reducing the time required to complete tasks. Furthermore, the mental health benefits of ergonomic workplaces should not be underestimated. Workers in ergonomically sound environments are less likely to experience work-related stress and more likely to feel satisfied with their jobs, which can lead to better focus and higher efficiency. ## Designing for Human Differences: Customizing Ergonomic Design Designing for human differences means acknowledging and accommodating a varied workforce’s diverse physical and psychological needs. This approach ensures that ergonomic solutions benefit all employees, not just the average user. Custom ergonomic designs take into account factors such as body size, personal preferences, and specific job requirements. Customization can include adjustable workstations that cater to different heights and body types and tools designed for ease of use regardless of hand size or strength. By focusing on these individual needs, businesses can ensure that their ergonomic solutions are as effective as possible, enhancing comfort and efficiency across their entire workforce. ## Maintaining an Ergonomic Workspace: Tips and Practices - **Regular Evaluations**: Continually assess the ergonomic setup to ensure it meets your workforce’s and workspace’s evolving needs. - **Employee Training**: Regularly train employees on how to best use ergonomic equipment and practices. - **Proactive Maintenance**: Keep all ergonomic equipment in good repair to prevent breakdowns and ensure it provides the intended benefits. - **Feedback Mechanisms**: Encourage ongoing feedback from employees about the ergonomic setup to identify areas for improvement. - **Iterative Improvements**: Regularly update and refine ergonomic practices based on the latest research and innovations in the field. - **Safety Audits**: Conduct periodic safety audits to ensure that all ergonomic equipment and practices meet current safety standards. - **Health and Wellness Programs**: Support ergonomic improvements with general health and wellness programs that encourage a healthy lifestyle, further enhancing the benefits of ergonomic solutions. ## Ask the Experts for Help Improving the Ergonomic Design of Your Workplace Partnering with ergonomic experts can transform how your workplace addresses worker health and productivity.

It is more challenging if the Company deals with heavy and bulky items. Therefore, companies are always on the lookout for efficient ways to move products around, and this is where a compact lift/transporter comes handy. Such a device is essential in your Company due to the following reasons: 1. **To Save on Time** How efficient is it to move bulky and heavy items manually in your Company? Slow, right? You would give anything to ensure that your products are moved faster, and this is why you should invest in a [**lift**](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/convey-transfer/) **transporter unit**. Time is of the essence to every Company seeking to make more profits, and a efficient lift and transporter unit guarantees the transfer of your materials in less amount of time. 2. **To Reduce Labor Cost** Although there is an initial cost of installing a lift transporter device, the long-term saving on the human body is worth considering. Installing a lift tranporter is a one-time up-front investment, while the cost worker injuries or replacing injured workers is exhausting and cost prohibitive in the long run. 3. **Increased Productivity** When products are moved efficiently within the Company, the Company can produce more and meet all its customer demands. There will be more customer satisfaction leading to more profits. The Company also gains a competitive advantage over other companies. 4. **Safety** Accidents may occur when employees carry or move items around within the enterprise. Sometimes severe injuries to an employee or the destruction of the product carried will result in financial losses.Expensive medical bills and absenteeism to employees hurt while moving materials in the Company are just some of the financial burden.. Take control of your Company and increase its productivity by investing in a modern lift transporter unit from Ergotronix.

The potential for long-term cumulative disorders and injuries stemming from routine actions often remains unnoticed. Since the immediate effects aren’t evident, dismissing concerns is easy. In this blog post, we present valuable ergonomic insights for manufacturing. Over time workers might develop conditions such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and severe back injuries. Given the demanding nature of our jobs—marked by awkward postures, high impact, vibrations, hefty material handling, and repetitive motions—these substantial issues can arise. We are sharing some key strategies to help you optimize ergonomics in the workplace. ## **Factory Ergonomics** The field of ergonomics involves the design and organization of work settings, tools, assignments, and equipment to suit the abilities and limitations of individuals. It is a science aimed at boosting productivity and promoting well-being by preventing injuries and enhancing overall comfort. When applied in factory or manufacturing environments, ergonomics primarily concentrates on establishing workspaces that maximize efficiency while minimizing the chances of injuries or discomfort caused by tasks lifting heavy objects or extended periods of standing or sitting. Factory ergonomics involves organizing the layout of workstations, tools, and machinery to promote workflows, minimize unnecessary movements and encourage proper body mechanics. It includes creating workstations using ergonomically designed tools and training workers on adopting safe postures and techniques. By considering ergonomics in factories productivity can be increased and injuries resulting in absenteeism can be decreased fostering a healthier and more motivated workforce. Ultimately, incorporating ergonomic principles and equipment in manufacturing environments leads to operational efficiency and creates a safer and more satisfying workplace, for employees. ## **Designing an Ergonomic Workspace** Creating a workspace that promotes efficiency, safety, and well-being is essential in a factory or manufacturing environment. An effective ergonomic workspace considers the layout, equipment arrangement, and workflow to minimize movements and alleviate strain ensuring comfort for employees performing physically demanding tasks. #### Key considerations include: - Strategically placing workstations to facilitate smooth material flow. - Ensuring easy access to tools and supplies. - Minimizing the need for repetitive bending or stretching. Adjustable workbenches, chairs, and manipulation devices allow employees to customize their work environment to their needs, promoting better posture while reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries. When designing a workspace that promotes ergonomics it is crucial to consider elements such as lighting, ventilation, and noise management. Incorporating ergonomic principles into the planning and execution of workplace design factories can boost productivity, minimize work-related injuries, and cultivate a motivated and engaged workforce. ## **Key Strategies for Factory Ergonomics** To create a comfortable workplace in a factory setting there are important strategies to consider: - Optimizing the layout of workstations and equipment placement is crucial. This helps to streamline workflows and minimize movements making everything more efficient. - It’s essential to promote body mechanics through training and task rotation. This helps prevent strain on employees’ bodies ensuring their well-being. - Introducing tools and adjustable work-holding devices is another aspect. These additions support comfort allowing employees to work in a way that suits them best. - It’s essential to involve employees in identifying and addressing challenges they may face. Regular training sessions and breaks are also necessary for their well-being. - Collaborating with healthcare professionals plays a role in preventing injuries, within the workplace while supporting employee health. By implementing these strategies factories can boost productivity, reduce injuries, and create a more efficient work environment. ## **More Strategies and Tips for Productive Work Environments** ### **Ergonomic Tools and Equipment** - Utilizing [Lifting Aids](https://ergotronix.com/lift-assist-devices-for-manufacturing/) & Assistive Devices: Lifting aids can significantly reduce the strain of awkward postures on workers. These aids can potentially eliminate the need for bending, twisting, and squatting. In some cases, adjustable lifts might be the most effective choice. - Incorporating Conveyance Equipment: Contemplate the integration of wheeled mechanisms into the workplace. Carts, [conveyors](https://ergotronix.com/conveyor-rollers-the-ergo-roll/), and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are prevalent ergonomic instruments in manufacturing environments. - Transportation Devices: Carts, conveyors, and other automated guided vehicles improve ergonomic comfort by helping to move materials. Transportation devices reduce the need for handling materials and minimize physical strain. - Adjustable Height Platforms: Adjustable height platforms adjust work surfaces to ergonomically correct heights that can be adjusted for each worker who uses the surface. It’s crucial to include maintenance of these devices in the equation. This aspect is a substantial component of ensuring safety. When a cart, for instance, doesn’t function optimally, the potential harm to a worker’s well-being could become even more pronounced. ### **Ergonomic Stretches & Avoiding Awkward Postures** Staying active can also offer benefits, especially for individuals who spend extended periods sitting or remaining stationary. Consider trying these stretches, as they can contribute positively over the long term. - Leg Lifts: While requiring support from a chair or a stable object, this exercise is simple. Lift one leg at a time, slowly raising your foot backward and promptly lowering it. Alternate between each leg, repeating the process five times for each leg. - Windshield Wiper: This stretch can be performed effectively seated or standing. Gently move your head from side to side, resembling the motion of windshield wipers. Repeat this motion five times in each direction. - Overhead Stretch: Employees can engage in this stretch whether sitting or standing. Intertwine your fingers with palms facing upward, extend your arms towards the ceiling, and then slightly push them back. Hold this position for five seconds and repeat it five times. In factory work, the foremost ergonomic practice is avoiding awkward postures. Steer clear of positions that strain the body, as these can lead to injuries over time. Prioritizing comfortable and aligned stances enhances worker well-being and minimizes the risk of long-term musculoskeletal problems. Some awkward postures to avoid include working with arms above the head, twisting back, forward bending, and non-neutral wrists. ## **ErgoTronix Can Help You Improve Your Factory Ergonomics** Are you looking to elevate your workspace by enhancing ergonomics?

If you’re looking to create a safe, enjoyable industrial work environment, then you must consider workplace ergonomics. Thanks to continuous advances in technology, there are plenty of solutions to reduce physical strain and improve the productivity of workers. Learn more about how ergonomics will improve your production floor and the best solution for ergonomics at work. ## **Improve Safety** Production floors pose several dangers to workers. [Safety](https://ergotronix.com/2022-workplace-safety-index/) is always a major concern for industrial occupations. Overexertion falls, poor posture, and slips are some of the most common safety hazards on the production floor. Each year, companies spend almost [50 billion dollars](https://ergotronix.com/2022-workplace-safety-index/) fighting preventable injuries. The truth is that some of these hazards are deceiving. Poor posture, for example, may not seem like a real danger. But repeated over time, it can lead to serious injuries that take employees out of work and cost your company. The good news is that workplace ergonomics can help mitigate many of these safety concerns. Improving workstation design and implementing modern ergonomics tools help reduce physical stress and prevent injury. For example, [Compact Lift Transporters](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift+transport/) can move workloads up to 650 lbs. This can drastically reduce the manual effort that employees were previously required to emit. It also includes built-in safety features. By handling the lift and transport of heavy items, this tool can reduce the chances of back strains and several other hazards. Implementing ergonomic interventions is one effective way to address some of the most common production floor safety hazards. This helps keep your team healthy, while also reducing the cost of addressing injuries. It’s one of the best ways to mitigate many of the different safety risks that production teams face. ## **Reduce Fatigue** Fatigue is another common concern on shop floors. Repetitive tasks and physical labor can cause immense physical stress. Throughout the shift, employees may become increasingly fatigued. Fatigue harms productivity, often slowing workers down and prompting mistakes. But employee fatigue also increases the risk of accidents. Additionally, fatigue adds up over time. Eventually, this [physical stress](https://ergotronix.com/benefits-of-removing-physical-stress/) can also lead to serious health issues. It can impact work performance, but also the quality of life of your team members. Injuries affect team members from all walks of life, while also impacting overhead costs and hiring needs. Keeping your team as healthy as possible is vital for long-term success. Ergonomic intervention helps address physical stress and fatigue. Many ergonomic solutions can address the physically demanding tasks your team handles. In turn, they can alleviate physical strain. Reducing fatigue is critical for the employee’s health and safety, but it’s also beneficial for your company. Less-fatigued workers make fewer mistakes and can work more efficiently. ## **Boost Productivity** Ergonomic solutions also increase the productivity of your shop floor. Dan MacLeod implemented the Ergo Chief by Ergotronix to eliminate the manual flipping of a large aircraft part. This simple addition eliminated product damage and back strain, while also [reducing assembly time by 73%](https://ergotronix.com/proof-in-performance/)! Product drops alone can cost the team hours of time and effort. A damaged item requires repair, sometimes taking up to two hours. Eliminating such accidents saves the entire team hours of work, increasing production even more. It also reduces the physical strain employees face, helping them stay sharper for longer. Several ergonomic modifications can dramatically boost workplace productivity while also reducing physical strain. By automating and simplifying manual processes, ergonomics can help you streamline productivity. Greater productivity means more revenue. The quicker and more efficiently a team can produce, the better it can meet consumer demands. It means you’ll be able to sell more in the same amount of time. ## **Increase Employee Satisfaction** Employee retention is a constant battle in the production industry. As consumer demands rise, so does the need for skilled workers. In such a highly competitive landscape, attracting and retaining quality employees is a difficult task. When you do get a talented employee on your team, keeping them is incredibly important. Employee retention is better for a business’s bottom line and overall productivity. Hiring new workers requires training, with many taking up to two years to reach the productivity of an existing employee. Less turnover is best for business, especially when it prevents understaffing. Ultimately, retaining employees is extremely beneficial in the world of production. Employees that are fatigued and experiencing physical stress are far less likely to feel satisfied. Furthermore, unpleasant working conditions may cause them to believe that the organization does not care about their well-being. Unsatisfied employees are less likely to be motivated in work and are more likely to churn. Employee satisfaction is incredibly important for all production industry employers. [Ergonomic protocols can help to improve the employee experience](https://ergotronix.com/how-to-focus-on-employee-retention/) in many ways. For one, they will help to reduce workplace fatigue and hazards. This can help workers feel safer at work. Furthermore, the ergonomic intervention also demonstrates to employees that management cares about and values them. Not only will this help retain talent, but it will also boost their motivation and production. ## **Improve Ergonomics at Work with Ergotronix** A safer, happier workplace is also a more productive workplace. Ultimately, workplace ergonomics offers many key benefits to improving production floors. By implementing ergonomic interventions, organizations can reduce fatigue, improve safety, improve productivity, and improve employee satisfaction.

Whether your employees are lifting or bending, we have systems that bring objects to them without strain or injury. Read on to learn about lift-assist devices in manufacturing and how they work to improve productivity while simultaneously reducing injuries. ## **What Are Lift Assist Devices and How Do They Work?** Lift assist devices are pieces of equipment that are designed to assist manufacturing employees during the process of lifting heavy objects. They add support when manufacturers are lifting large or cumbersome items and reduce the physical strain that comes with manual lifting. Additionally, lift assist devices also reduce instances in which heavy objects are dropped or fumbled with. Depending on the specific device, these pieces of equipment may have hooks, chains, heavy-duty forks, or other components that attach securely to an object or container. Once the object is secured, manufacturing teams will initiate a lift. Lift assist devices use machinery to either lift the object alone, or support the weight of the object while the employees move it from one position to another. [A few types of lifting devices](https://www.assemblymag.com/articles/92194-cranes-hoists-and-lift-assist-devices-aid-workers-on-the-assembly-line) that are used in manufacturing include hoists, cranes, vacuum lifts, trolleys, forklifts, and gripping tools. ## **Benefits of Using Lift Assist Devices in Manufacturing** Using equipment and pieces of machinery to simplify lifting processes can present numerous benefits for employees, production timelines, and safety practices. Five key benefits of using lift-assist devices in manufacturing include the following: - Fewer work-related injuries - Reduced equipment damage - Increased productivity - [Decreased physical strain](https://ergotronix.com/benefits-of-removing-physical-stress/) for employees - Better time management ## **Lift Assist Devices: Impacting Productivity and Safety** Lift-assist devices have a positive impact on productivity and safety when used in manufacturing organizations. By reducing or eliminating an employee’s need to bend down, lift, and maneuver heavy or cumbersome objects, lifting equipment directly [enhances employee safety](https://ergotronix.com/2022-workplace-safety-index/). Additionally, lifting devices can help ensure the continuous production of clean, high-quality products. By limiting an operator’s need to touch products and machinery components, the risk of damaging or dropping products drops significantly. Because lifting equipment is designed to provide a reliable hold, accidental drops also become a thing of the past. Lifts also increase productivity by handling loads with more speed and grace than what can be expected from human workers. Lifting devices are designed to be easy to use, so they don’t require a great deal of trial and error in order to move items from one area to another. ## **How to Choose the Right Lift Assist Device for Your Business** To choose the right lift assist device for your business, there are several factors that you’ll need to consider. - The weight range of the objects you plan to lift - The overall size of the objects you plan to lift (height, length, and width) - Ceiling height - Area of coverage - Location of the objects before lifting - Object’s height from the floor - Location of the object’s destination - Necessary lift height - Potential overhead obstructions - Environmental concerns In addition to these factors, cycle time is a crucial element to consider when choosing lift-assist devices. Cycle time refers to how many times per minute or hour an object needs to be lifted and/or moved. You’ll need to ensure that the device you plan to purchase can adequately handle the cycle time you need. ## **Maintenance Tips for Lift Assist Devices** Proper maintenance is a must for lift assist devices. Not only does maintaining various pieces of lifting equipment prolong the lifecycle of the machinery, but it reduces safety risks by eliminating accidents that might occur due to worn or broken devices. Depending on the specific devices you’re using at your place of business, you’ll need to follow certain maintenance instructions designed around the equipment you’re checking. However, there are a few basic maintenance tips that can and should be applied to most lift-assist devices. For one, checking the device before each use is an effective way to reduce the likelihood of an accident occurring. Examine the components of the lifting equipment and take note of anything that looks out of place. It should go without saying, but if you notice any cracks, frayed wires, sparks, or unfamiliar smells, report the issue immediately. Next, take time to clean lifting devices regularly. A clean device typically performs its best work, and avoiding debris buildup can help ensure that each component of the equipment works as intended. Finally, run routine equipment tests and follow the specific instructions that the manufacturer-assigned to each device. If you’d like to make use of lifting devices in your manufacturing business, [contact us today](https://ergotronix.com/contact/) to schedule a demonstration.

Whether your employees are lifting, bending, or otherwise straining throughout their work performance, our systems can simplify lifting, transporting, and positioning equipment without resulting in injuries. ## **Industrial Workstations and Productivity** Ergonomic designs work to improve safety in an industrial setting, but they’re also beneficial when it comes to increasing productivity in the workplace. Ergonomic equipment used in industrial workstations can [aid the effectiveness of manufacturing processes](https://www.business.com/articles/5-ways-an-ergonomically-designed-workstation-can-improve-your-productivity/) in the following ways. - Ergonomic workstations lead to fewer mistakes (fewer dropped items, higher quality of work). - Ergonomic workstations keep employees comfortable (reduced straining, sprains, muscle pulls, and injuries). - Ergonomic workstations improve employee alertness and engagement (decreased chronic pain and discomfort enables more attention to detail). - Ergonomic workstations enhance workflow efficiency (ease of access makes manufacturing work proceed more smoothly). - Ergonomic workstations focus on enhancing worker health (proper posture reduces fatigue, chronic pain, and the risk of injuries). ## **Finding the Right Workstation Tools** To determine which workstation tools you need in a given section of your manufacturing floor, monitor your team’s work processes and identify concerns. For example, watch out for frequent bending or hunching, improper lifting techniques, low-quality lighting, flying sparks loose or dangling clothes and equipment, or extended reaching. Each of these actions presents a potential safety hazard and needs to be addressed. You might also take some time to speak with members of your team about their concerns and requests they want to make in the name of ergonomic changes. Document your concerns and research your industrial ergonomic options so that you can choose equipment that addresses the needs you’re aware of. ## **Tips for Ergonomic Industrial Workstations** When implementing ergonomic workstation equipment, it’s essential to ensure that each member of your team knows how to adapt to the changes made. Announce the upcoming changes you plan to make ahead of time so that your industrial employees can play an active role in adjusting their workplace processes. Once the equipment arrives and has been installed, host training sessions to go over all of the new features and functions of the workstation additions. You could book an implementation session with a representative from the manufacturer of your new equipment or review the manual with your staff. The depth of your training sessions should be appropriate for the level of skill needed to master a new piece of equipment. Remember that lackluster training can be just as dangerous as inefficient equipment. ## **Ergotronix Benefits** Ergotronix aims to make industrial work easier and safer for the entire staff throughout manufacturing and assembly processes. Our [ergonomic solutions](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/) focus on enhancing efficiency and improving productivity by implementing equipment that simplifies the following motions. - Position: Motorized & Manual Positioners - Lift: Telescopic Lift Systems - Transport: Compact Lift Transformers - Convey + Transfer: Multi-Directional Rollers ## **Common Issues with Industrial Workstations and How to Correct Them** Ergonomic challenges that occur in the workplace can be quite similar across the board, with only the finer details differentiating manufacturing concerns from health and safety concerns in an office setting. [Take a look at these common issues](https://ergo.human.cornell.edu/AHProjects/cityofithaca/generalrec.html) and the solutions that can be implemented to correct them. **Problem:** Body posture leading to strains, chronic pain, fatigue, or injury **Solution:** Introducing chairs with adjustable height options and full back support **Problem:** Leaning over workstations and straining workers’ necks and backs **Solution:** Adjusting the height of the workstation so that tools and surfaces are well within arm’s reach and easy to see **Problem:** Equipment, tools, and materials that are crowded around the workspace, spaced too far from reach, or otherwise difficult to access **Solution:** Rearrange workstations so that all tools are neat, organized, and easy to retrieve and replace for each worker at the station **Problem:** Vision hazards caused by sparks, low light, chemical releases, etc. **Solution:** Provide workers with adequate lighting to prevent squinting or straining the eyes, and provide protective eyewear to prevent accidents related to workplace hazards **Problem:** Straining while lifting or frequently dropping heavy items **Solution:** Provide employees with lift-assisting devices, equipment that aids in transferring heavy items, and proper training that teaches correct lifting forms Ergonomic equipment is not only beneficial when it comes to streamlining manufacturing processes, but implementing the latest equipment and technology aims to keep your employees safe, reduce workplace accidents, lessen instances of dropping items, and manage staff fatigue.

If you’re one of many manufacturers who want to improve your bottom line, look no further than the capabilities that present themselves when your team utilizes ergonomic equipment. ## Common Workplace Injuries While falls and traumatic injuries come to mind when considering workplace hazards, other non- [ergonomic injuries are typically more common](https://www.dir.ca.gov/chswc/woshtep/iipp/materials/SB_Factsheet_H_ErgonomicHazards.pdf). A workplace injury can be impactful, long-lasting, and truly avoidable. Examples of such injuries include the following: - **Cumulative Trauma:** Injuries that can develop or worsen over time due to continuous straining - **Repetitive Strain:** Injuries brought on by repetitive, unnatural movements - **Musculoskeletal Disorders:** Injuries that affect bones, nerves, tissues, muscles, and tendons Several disorders can fall under one or more of these categories, such as carpal tunnel and tendonitis. Depending on the specific injury incurred, damage to the body can trigger symptoms, each of which can disrupt, slow, or even eliminate an individual’s ability to work. - Aching or pain - Numbness or tingling - Swelling - Stiffness or reduced range of motion - Weakness - Loss of coordination ## Ergonomic Solutions that Promote Safety & Productivity The implementation of ergonomic equipment, planning, and workplace procedures aims to reduce instances of work-related strain, fatigue, and injury in employees. By preventing workplace hazards that result in various types of injuries, a more ergonomically-focused manufacturing facility can take advantage of improved productivity, efficiency, and safety. Because the field of [ergonomics seeks to explore and examine employees](https://www.dir.ca.gov/chswc/woshtep/iipp/materials/SB_Factsheet_H_ErgonomicHazards.pdf), the work they do, and how that work is conducted, ergonomic solutions have to be highly customized to fit each organization’s needs in relation to: - The unique body movements employees repeat at work - The tools and equipment each employee uses - The environment within the facility - The company’s organizational standards - The risks the above-mentioned points pose to employee safety and health Read on to learn more about how ergonomic equipment, practices, and training improve workplace processes, enhance employee efficiency, and encourage a greater sense of care and general well-being at work. ### Decreasing Strain [Strain injuries are often caused by overextending](https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/muscle-strains/symptoms-causes/syc-20450507) to reach for equipment, maintaining an uncomfortable position, or lifting heavy and cumbersome objects. Strains can affect most joints, but they commonly occur in the wrists, shoulders, knees, and back. By utilizing ergonomic equipment, manufacturing businesses can reduce incidents that cause strain injuries in the following ways. - Ergonomic equipment is designed to make components easy to reach/hold. - Ergonomic equipment enables workers to reposition products and materials so that the employee is always able to maintain natural positioning. - Ergonomic equipment simplifies lifting and transferring materials, and as such, employees are not forced to lift and move items manually. ### Reducing Fatigue Fatigue can be an incredibly dangerous issue to deal with in a manufacturing environment, as individuals who work while fatigued are less capable of making rational decisions than those who are alert and attentive. In some situations, workplace fatigue can be as much of a risk as working while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, especially in circumstances where an employee is expected to operate machinery. Fatigue slows reaction times, impairs decision-making, and can lead to employees working slower and less efficiently than what they’re ordinarily capable of doing. Ergonomic equipment aims to reduce employee fatigue in a number of ways. For example: - Ergonomic equipment simplifies moving, transferring, lifting, and repositioning materials. This eliminates much of the need for manual handling, which reduces how much energy employees need to expend. - Ergonomic equipment can streamline the process of lifting or moving materials so that more work can be done in a given amount of time. While it may take 2 or 3 employees between 1 and 2 minutes to move an object manually, a piece of equipment can accomplish this task in seconds. This reduces wasted time and enables more material to be moved without exhausting employees. - Ergonomic equipment, because of its capabilities, aims to keep employees awake and comfortable throughout the workday, which reduces the number of mistakes made, breaks needed, and downtime accrued throughout the day. ### Preventing Workplace Injuries Workplace injuries can be caused by a number of contributors, but much of the time added safety protocols can significantly [reduce instances of employees getting hurt](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/risk-management/pages/prevent-sprains-strains-workplace.aspx). As mentioned above, ergonomic equipment aims to decrease strain, which can also reduce injuries. Additionally, ergonomic equipment reduces worker fatigue, which can in turn reduce the occurrence of injuries that result from fatigue-induced behaviors. Take falls, for example. By reducing the need to overreach for equipment, strain while lifting materials, and work while fatigued, workers are far less likely to suffer from trip and fall accidents. Additionally, using ergonomic equipment prevents the likelihood of dropping materials, which can damage them or injure nearby employees. Ergonomic equipment lifts and moves heavy objects so reliably that workers no longer have to bend down, crouch, kneel, or move materials while in an uncomfortable position. Enabling safer and easier ways to lift and move objects can greatly reduce hernias, broken bones, joint/nerve pain conditions, and much more.

Enter the column lift, a device that not only eases the work process but also protects the workers. Column lift systems do more than just lift; they also safeguard workers. They ease physical strain, cut down on workplace risks, and help boost worker morale. In an environment filled with hazards, these lift columns are making a big difference in safety and efficiency. They’re about more than just lifting stuff; they’re also about lifting spirits. Curious to learn more? Keep reading to learn how column lifts are an investment in both machinery and people. ## **What is a Column Lift?** A column lift is a single lifting device used in the modern workplace to lift heavy loads safely and accurately. Column lifts use actuator technology to safely lift workplace loads to any desired work position. They make things safer and more efficient. They do the heavy lifting, cut down on accidents, and help get more work done. ## **1\. Reducing Physical Strain** Column lifts significantly reduce physical strain on workers. By taking over the heavy lifting, these systems prevent [common injuries](https://ergotronix.com/top-10-causes-of-disabling-injuries-at-work/) associated with manual lifting, like back strain and muscle fatigue. They not only improve workplace safety but also reduce long-term worker health issues. Workers can focus on the quality of work rather than the physical toll of lifting, resulting in safer and more sustainable working environments. ## **2\. Minimizing Accident Risks** Column lifts contribute significantly to reducing accident risks. By automating the lifting these systems lower the chances of injuries caused by manual handling. This technology ensures a safer work environment by minimizing human interaction with dangerous lifting tasks. The precision and reliability of column lifts mean a safer workplace with fewer accidents. ## **3\. Improved Stability and Control** Column lifts bring a game-changing advantage of control. These lifts are designed for steady lifting, holding materials firmly in place [without wobbling or shifting](https://www.hst.uk.com/news/beware-of-falling-materials-at-construction-sites/). With column lifts, workers have better control over their lifting tasks, leading to fewer mistakes and accidents. This enhanced control makes the job safer and more efficient. ## **4\. Ergonomic Benefits of a Column Lift** Column lifts are made to cut down on bodily strain from awkward lifting. This helps avoid muscle and other injuries, common in manual work areas. These lifts make work safer and more comfortable for the operators, which in turn leads to better health and more productivity on the job. ## **5\. Enhancing Site Safety Protocols** Column lifts play a pivotal role in enhancing [site safety protocols](https://www.osha.gov/construction). By automating heavy lifting, these lifts minimize the need for risky manual handling and encourage a culture of safety. They serve as a reminder of the importance of using the right tools for the job, leading to better adherence to safety guidelines. This improved protocol compliance helps in creating a safer and more efficient work environment. ## **6\. Streamlining Lifting Processes** Column lifts make any lifting-related work much easier and faster. They lift heavy things quickly, cutting down on time spent on hard tasks. By using column lifts, jobs get done faster and more safely, keeping the work on schedule and workers less stressed. ## **7\. Advanced Worker Safety Features** Column lifts come with advanced built-in safety features, like automatic overload protection, to prevent misuse and accidents. With these lifts, workers can trust that they are using equipment that puts their safety first. ## **8\. Tailored for Varied Job Sites** Column lifts are designed to suit different kinds of applications. Hence, they come in various sizes, styles, and lift load capacities, making them perfect for any job, big or small. This adaptability means they can be [used in any situation](https://ergotronix.com/the-strength-of-100-men/), making every job easier and safer. It’s a versatile device that fits into any workplace, improving safety and efficiency. ## **9\. Impact on Worker Morale** Column lifts positively impact worker morale. When lifting is managed by a lift device, workers feel less stressed and physically drained. Knowing they have reliable tools to handle the toughest parts of their job boosts their confidence and job satisfaction. This positive atmosphere leads to a more motivated and committed workforce. Happier workers not only perform better but also contribute to a more positive and productive work environment overall. ### Elevate Your Workplace with Our Column Lift Solutions At Ergotronix, we make your construction sites safer and more efficient.

But what defines progression? How are we attaining progression? In a typical workplace environment, progression may be measured as an increase in production and level of output, resulting in more revenue and profit. Ultimately the goal is to increase profit, one of the simplest ways to do so is by ensuring ergonomic efficiency on your shop floor. Ensuring ergonomic efficiency will increase the level of output from your employees, while producing less bodily strain and less rework etc. Below is a short list of guidelines that we can use while evaluating the shop floor. - **Assess** - **Evaluate** - **Investigate** - **Optimize** - **Utilize** ## ASSESS Ergonomic issues are often a byproduct of poor layout, wasteful processes, improper or inappropriate equipment, and often bad employee habits. Progressing into any shop floor re-design without understanding the basic elements can be costly, ineffective, and can incite frustration among staff. The assessment tools can take various forms, including checklists and reviews of past workplace inspection documents. Examples include checklists such as these coming from Washington State University: [![WISHA Caution Zone Checklist](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/wisha-caution-zone-checklist-500x300.jpg)](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/wisha-caution-zone-checklist.pdf) **Click Image To View Full PDF** [![WISHA Hazard Zone Checklist](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/wisha-hazard-zone-checklist-500x300.jpg)](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/wisha-hazard-zone-checklist.pdf) **Click Image To View Full PDF** ## EVALUATE After completing the assessment, determine which of the identified issues are problematic and diminish the human ability to perform effectively. More often than not, there will be a clear path of prioritization based on the potential problems of each issue. For example, a heavy lifting hazard is more significant than operating at a workstation a few degrees below the optimal level. Consult standards and guidelines to fine-tune work methods and work expectations. Both the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) guide organizations on how to better configure their programs, processes, and overall design for improved safety and quality. ## INVESTIGATE See what other companies have done and are doing to mitigate their similar design concerns. By collaborating with organizations and professionals that have gone through similar processes, your company can avoid many unforeseen pitfalls by learning from the mistakes and successes of others. It is vital to thoroughly investigate ideas while they are still on paper and incredibly easy to modify, which saves both time and money, whilst preventing potential injuries from occurring. ## OPTIMIZE Employees can only work so fast, lift so much and adjust their posture within a specific range of motion. Outside of that spectrum, special equipment and furnishings can bridge the gap. This is where optimization with technology can help reduce the frustration that comes with operating outside the limits of the human body. An typical example of shop floor optimization would be utilizing lift tables, transport carts, and other handling devices to allows employees to complete their work tasks comfortably, at a correct ergonomic working height, without compromising safety and comfort. ## UTILIZE Utilize resources that you may already have at your disposal and don’t hesitate to also get assistance from companies that specialize in providing ergonomic remedies for the factory floor. It is vital to use both **internal** and **external** resources during a shop floor re-design. Involve your employees in understanding the issues at hand. Such practice will promote buy-in and improve management-staff relations.

The customer needed to lift wire spools from a pallet, transport and place each close to the assembly line. At up to 300 lbs. each, performing the task manually is not safe or efficient and so we came up with this ergonomic solution to lighten their load. After the device is lowered and placed into the spool, a simple twist and lock by hand engages the Harpoon Hook ready for safe transport. The solution was developed for open core spools with 1 ½”, 2” or 2 ½” core diameters.

Our customizable portable lifting devices reduce the need for employees to bend, strain, and lift heavy loads. Using one or more of our systems can streamline work processes, [reduce injury risks](https://www.osha.gov/ergonomics), and increase productivity throughout your workplace. Discover the benefits of using portable lifting devices in the workplace. Learn about new safety features, cost benefits, and opportunities to speed up manufacturing work. ## Portable Lifting Devices Improve Safety Using a lifting device significantly reduces the risks associated with manual handling. Machinery is designed to securely hold and transport loads without the instability and unpredictability of human effort. It doesn’t fumble or accidentally drop equipment, as it will only release the load once the machine’s operator intentionally activates the controls to do so. This mechanized precision ensures that heavy and potentially dangerous loads are moved safely and efficiently, thereby creating a much safer work environment. This not only protects the workforce from injury but also enhances productivity by minimizing the risk of accidents and damage to materials being handled. By providing lift assistance, manufacturing teams run fewer risks of dropping the equipment. This also reduces instances of equipment damage and the downtime that results when the item in question undergoes repairs. While damaged or broken equipment is enough of a concern already, equipment that is dropped too close to a manufacturing employee can cause significant injuries and slow down production in order to administer medical assistance. ## Increased Efficiency Portable lifting devices also enable the workplace to operate more smoothly. Using machinery to lift and move equipment or materials creates a streamlined path for objects to follow, and in addition, lifting devices free up human laborers. This means that more people can continue to work instead of lifting and moving heavy items throughout the workspace. A single employee can operate the mechanical lifting device and save time when transitioning pieces from one station to another. Compare this against three or four employees taking time to manually lift and transport loads and the efficiency benefits are obvious. It may not seem like three employees lose much work time when lifting and transporting loads, but those minutes add up. Portable lifts eliminate the inefficiencies that slow down your factory through manual lifting. ## Portable Lifting Devices Reduce Physical Strain Limiting the need for manufacturers to manually lift and transport heavy equipment also reduces physical strain. Back pain, neck pain, and shoulder strain aren’t uncommon risks when it comes to operating a manufacturing floor. Enabling employees to use machinery for lifting and transporting material reduces the likelihood of strains, chronic pain, or injuries occurring. Compact lift transporters like the Ergo Tranz® and telescopic lift systems like the Ergo Force® are designed to protect the health and well-being of manufacturing employees by reducing the heavy lifting they’d otherwise be expected to endure day in and day out. Using these equipment types makes moving equipment painless. Simple controls move a load from one spot to another with zero risk to the people working on the floor. ## The Ergo Tranz Compact Lift Transporter [![Ergo Tranz Roll Lift Transporter Bundle Lift Transporter](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ergo-tranz-roll-lift-transporter-bundle-lift-transporter-1024x1024.jpg)](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift-transport/) The Ergo Tranz is designed to significantly reduce instances requiring employees to engage in physically demanding tasks such as carrying or manipulating heavy items. This innovative tool aims to improve workplace safety and efficiency by minimizing the risk of injury associated with these strenuous activities. ### Ergo Tranz Features - Lift and transports workload up to 650 lbs - Compact, light-weight hand truck - Heavy-duty battery power for lift and other desired electric work manipulation movements - Eliminates body strain of manual work effort - Adaptable to a variety of standard and custom end-effectors - Built-in safety features - Optional rotary ground system - Turn table allows for ease of fixturing ## Greater Mobility with Portable Lifting Devices Cranes or other typical lifting devices are designed to hoist, lower, and transport heavy pieces of machinery, equipment, or other materials around a given workstation. These installations are large, space-consuming, and costly with limited flexibility. Instead, using a portable lifting device enables a more fluid, less costly, and totally flexible mobility alternative ## Massive Time & Cost Savings Providing manufacturers with portable lifting equipment can speed up work processes by reducing the time employees would otherwise spend slowly moving pieces of heavy equipment from one location to another. What would ordinarily take a full minute to do before now only takes a few seconds when using a suited lifting device. In addition, lifting devices reduce the risk of equipment or materials being damaged by dropping, bumping, or pressing against delicate surfaces. A lifting device carries every item as it’s designed to and runs practically no risk of dropping the material it moves.

The first being _Ergo,_ meaning work or task. The second root is _Nomos,_ meaning law or statute. When we put them together, we can see that the word ergonomics effectively means, “the laws or statutes of work.” However, in a practical application of the word, we understand that ergonomics equates to being the law of completing work safely and comfortably. Understandably so, that makes ergonomics incredibly important when designing a workspace or manufacturing floor to operate safely and comfortably. There are many things to consider when designing ergonomically focused workspaces. Today, let’s consider the intensity of the work task. Generally, work tasks will fall into one of three categories: Heavy, Light, or Precision. Powered by [WordPress Support](https://justanotherwp.com/wordpress-support/) Heavy tasks involve large amounts of muscle force. Examples would be lifting heavy objects or manipulating semi-malleable materials manually, etc. Oftentimes these tasks can result in acute injuries, or eventually long-term Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD). To alleviate concerns of such injury from heavy work, the best approach is to arm the workers with some form of mechanical advantage. This can be manifested through applying lifting equipment or other mechanical assistance when performing the tasks. All to reduce the bodily stress felt on the human body. Tasks that require high amounts of force exerted by a human being should always be approached with caution. Implementing ergonomic machinery that alleviate human muscle exertion into the modern workplace is imperative. Light tasks typically involve very little effort to complete. Examples would be securing bolts in a manufacturing process or applying adhesives. Despite these tasks being of lower intensity to the human body, they are not without risks. Generally, such light work tasks turn into a very repetitive rhythm with a relatively fast cycle time. Such repetitive tasks can, as a result, cause injuries to soft tissues sustained from the exposed repetitive motions. There are multiple ways to address the risks associated with repetitive motions found in the light work category. Ensuring that the work object is positioned properly with a suitable work positioning device will decrease the likelihood that workers experience pain in muscles, joints, tendons, cartilage, or ligaments. Combined with allowing workers more variety in their work tasks, will make their jobs more physically and cognitively constructive. Precision Tasks require high degrees of physical precision and mental focus. Examples of precision tasks would be assembling small objects or soldering circuit boards, etc. These types of tasks generally require a great deal of dexterity to perform the task accurately. For precision work, it is imperative that the object be placed in an appropriate comfortable position in the range of shoulder to eye level, in order to reduce the stress on the neck, shoulders, and spine. An optimum work position can easily be attained by using a multi-axis work positioning device. When designing or redesigning a modern shop floor, it’s important to consider the intensity each work task will exert on the workers’ body. Each genre of work requires different ergonomic solutions to provide safety, comfort, and employee health. No matter what work is done in your workplace, focusing on Good Ergonomics provides Good Economic results, manifested as reductions in injuries and rehabilitation costs, while simultaneously increasing production efficiency, quality, and overall employee satisfaction.

The easiest way to understand the difference implementing ergonomic solutions will make is to use contrasting examples of a production floor with and without ergonomic devices and procedures. Let’s compare two situations: ## \#\#\# Scenario A \#\#\#\#\# A production floor’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is: - An employee manually retrieves a 60 pound part from its packaging - The employee lifts the part from its packaging onto a hand truck - The employee pushes his hand truck to his workstation while balancing the load duing transit - The employee lifts the part onto his workstation and begins to secure it in place - The employee performs one portion of his task with the object - The employee unfastens the object - The employee adjusts the position of the object and secures it again - The employee continues this manual manipulation until he completes his work task - The employee unfastens the object - The employee lifts the object and places it back on his hand truck - The employee wheels his hand truck to the next station like painting In this scenario, we can see at least seven unique instances where the employee manually handles the object. Three of these instances, at a minimum, require the employee to manipulate this object without any mechanical assistance. Every time, the likelihood of an accident resulting in injury to the object, person, or both are present. Of course, this example may represent an extreme scenario that virtually eliminates any mechanical advantage with the exception of the hand truck. However, when we compare this scenario with a production process that has implemented ergonomic solutions, we will immediately recognize the differences. ## \#\#\# Scenario B \#\#\#\#\# A production floor’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is: - An employee uses a motorized lift/transporter, like the Ergo Tranz with a customize end-effector, to securely lift the 60 lbs. part from its packaging. - The employee pushes his light weight Ergo Tranz to his workstation - In his work area, the employee uses a multi-axis work positioner, like the Ergo Chief, to manipulate the object into any desired position - The employee secures the object on to the Ergo Chief and releases it from the Ergo Tranz - By pushing buttons on the Ergo Chief positioner, he adjusts the object to any desired positions and this way perform the work in a secure and comfortable way. - When he has completed his work tasks ,the employee pick the object back with his Ergo Tranz and moves it to the next station, like painting. If we compare these two scenarios, we can easily see the difference in the number of times the employee touches the object. In the first situation, without ergonomic intervention, we see the employee manually manipulating the object at least seven times, with at least three of those times manually enduring the entire weight of the object. In the latter situation, we see the employee never having to manually manipulate the object.. In each and every instance when an employee is required to manually lift or manually manipulating an object, the likelihood of damage to object as well as injuries to the human body is likely to occur. Clearly both of these hurt the bottom line and this is why implementing ergonomic solutions makes such a difference.

Conveyor rollers have been an industry standard approach for this task. Bi-directional rollers, ball-transfer rollers or skate wheels are typical transfer elements used for these applications. Each of these products presents limitations. Meet the Ergo Roll, a dynamic and innovative new approach to traditional roller conveyors. The Ergo Roll is a multi-directional conveyor roller made from a high quality, resilient polyacetal plastic material. As such, it offers self-lubricating rotation with a non-marring contact surface and use even in wet applications. It’s open construction allows for particles, and other application debris, to gravitate through the roller structure, without causing lock-up of the multi-directional roller function. This innovative design ensures that products will be transported, transferred or sorted with ease. No matter what type of product needs transfer, the Ergo Roll conveyor roller is ready for the task. ![Ergo Roll multi-directional conveyor rollers](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/single-0.25-shaft-for-print-1024x1024.jpg) ![Ergo Roll multi-directional conveyor roller](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/2-inch-rollers-3-1024x1024.jpg) The Ergo Roll’s unique omni-directional design enables products to be manipulated in any direction with minimal effort. The large circumference of the omni surface offers low product indentation making it suitable also for painted or finished transfer applications. The Ergo Roll is available in a variety of load capacities and axle sizes making it a “lego” type systems with building blocks that also allows for retrofit of existing old style conveyor roller systems where multi-directional turn or transfer points may be desired. The Ergo Roll has been designed with durability in mind, to keep the manufacturing process running for years. This device doesn’t require regular maintenance, lubrication, or special tools for assembly. The Ergo Roll is a simple solution to implement is any area where turns or manual transfer is required. The Ergo Roll is also a cost-effective solution to reduce strain and risk of injury on workers, while improving the flow efficiency in the modern work place.

Whether you need a [work positioner](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/position/), [a lift](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift/), a [transporting cart](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift-transport/), or multi-directional [conveyor rollers](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/convey-transfer/), Ergotronix has the solution to improve your company’s shop floor. Do you have a particular application, or are you in a situation where you have sought a particular solution to no avail? Ergotronix engineers can adapt our standard products to create a custom solution, just as we have for many satisfied clients. Here is a testimonial from a customer who had a problem moving precision equipment into a particular position: #### _“The Ergotronix staff helped us with customization as we needed… The installation has been a success. The workers like working with the (Ergotronix product), it has increased efficiency, and most importantly, it has made this operation very safe. We have been very happy with our choice”_ ## Ergotronix Helped This Client Solve the Biggest Problems Facing the Business Before obtaining the Ergotronix custom solution, this company used a laborious process to load and set precision glass-cutting tools into their housing. It required two operators to manually and awkwardly position the cutters around a building column and into a very small entrance of a machine bed. This process took place within very tight quarters, amplifying the difficulty of the task. Even the slightest nudge or bump could cause the precision tools being maneuvered to be knocked out of alignment or seriously damaged. Ergotronix was asked to engineer a custom solution that would eliminate 100% of the lifting associated with the cutter’s manual handling while reducing the time investment to do so. ## Ergonomic Lifting Devices Save Time, Money, and Stress After implementing the Ergotronix solution, the new procedure only required one operator to interact with the precision cutters. One operator could even complete this task with a single hand. Overall, the operators were pleased with the procedure’s ease of use, reliability, and safety. Such custom solutions require close interaction and understanding the particular application details. A customer who worked directly with our engineers to develop custom solutions said this about their experiences: #### _“The project went very smoothly due to their exceptional personal attention and commitment to service. I highly recommend Ergotronix to any company looking to build or develop this type of positioning device.”_ ## Evaluating Your Needs for Ergonomic Devices When considering custom ergonomic solutions, assessing your specific workplace challenges and goals is crucial.

Furthermore, how can improvements in productivity and efficiency be measured? A quick google search or a glance through the nearest dictionary tells us that the definition of the words are, respectively: Productivity **“The effectiveness of productive effort, especially in industry, as measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input.”** Efficiency **“(especially of a system or machine) achieving maximum productivity with minimum wasted effort or expense.”** So, how are these words applicable and helpful to those in the industries of manufacturing and production? Well, productivity in manufacturing measures the number of units produced or net sales, relative to the input. These inputs can be broadly divided into four main categories: - **Physical capital**. The physical equipment and structures workers use to create goods and services - **Human capital**. The knowledge and skills that workers gain through education, training, and experience — all the practical understanding accumulated during their life - **Natural resources**. These inputs are derived from nature commodities, including renewable resources (e.g. plantation forestry, solar power) and nonrenewable resources (e.g. oil, minerals) - **Technological knowledge**. Technological progress within the economy. Technological knowledge can be public or proprietary. Public knowledge is openly available and used by all firms, while proprietary knowledge is secret and only known to the company that discovers it At the simplest level, productivity is simply a measure of _units of output/units of input_ with no regards to wasted effort or expense. But in the industries of manufacturing and production, dollars and cents are how we make sense of all our efforts to produce goods, so measuring productivity alone is not an accurate measure of the overall success of a manufacturing process. It is equally as important to understand and pursue efficiency in the manufacturing process. In layman’s terms, ​​efficiency is the ability to produce something without wasting materials, time or energy. The idyllic scenario being that of 100% efficiency implying that no effort or expense is wasted. The reality where no screws are dropped and every weld bead is perfect is unrealistic because human beings make mistakes. However, human beings aided by mechanical solutions show marked improvements in efficiency over their counterparts with man-power alone. In manufacturing, we should continually seek to improve our efficiency to improve the quality of our products and to increase our returns, and these improvements can be achieved through, for example, ergonomic solutions. Ergonomic technology can give your workers an incredible mechanical advantage over their unassisted counterparts. For example, an Ergo Tranz compact lift transporter can support loads up to 600 lbs, and move those loads with ease from location to location. This transporter requires one operator to use as it is light weight and allows operation of attached end-effector from a single hand remote. The lifting and transportation of an object weighing up to 600 lbs _without assistance_ would require multiple operators to exert themselves, risking injury, and would never be completed with the level of precision that the Ergo Tranz achieves. Ergonomic solutions benefit all parties involved; the worker in matters of safety. Is it possible to simultaneously become more efficient _and_ productive? Absolutely, it is possible to improve efficiency and productivity simultaneously. In fact, all the ergonomic solutions offered by Ergotronix are engineered to do just that. Ergotronix full line of products are designed to eliminate extraneous efforts while maximizing productivity. In practical application, these benefits can be manifested in decreasing physical labor efforts, decreasing production time, increasing quality, and many others. An excellent example of increased productivity and efficiency can be found in a testimonial given to us by an Ergotronix customer. After implementing an Ergotronix work positioner in their shop, they said: ### Applying Ergotronix positioning devices have been proven to be a huge success at (our company). The original operation required up to four mechanics. Today the task can be performed with just one operator. This is one of many instances where Ergotronix products have resulted in increases in both efficiency and productivity. Eliminating strain, decreasing procedure time, decreasing the number of operators necessary and many other benefits come from implementing ergonomic solutions into the design of a shop floor. Whether it be work positioners, lifts, transporters or any other ergonomic solutions, Ergotronix can help you strike that balance between productivity and efficiency on your shop floor.

It’s not just about lifting and transporting heavy loads, but about safety, versatility, and meeting industry standards. Current data on [industrial accidents in the workplace](https://www.bls.gov/iif/home.htm) underscores a pressing issue that demands attention from industry leaders and safety professionals. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were approximately 2.8 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported by private industry [employers in the United States](https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/finding-a-job/manufacturing-companies-in-usa) in the most recent year for which data is available, resulting in significant human and financial costs. The repercussions of not prioritizing employee [safety](https://ergotronix.com/ergo-master-work-positioners-for-welding/) extend far beyond the immediate impact of an accident. Companies face severe financial burdens due to lost productivity, compensation claims, legal fees, and increased insurance premiums. Furthermore, the intangible costs, including damage to reputational equity and employee morale, can have long-lasting effects on a company’s operational efficacy and its ability to attract skilled labor. Ensuring the safety of employees is not only a legal obligation but a critical investment in a company’s sustainability and operational continuity. The implementation of specialized lifting equipment that adheres to the highest safety standards is a fundamental component of mitigating risk and safeguarding both employees and assets in industrial operations. ## Durable, Reliable Lifting Equipment Designed for Your Industry [![Ergo Tranz Portable Lift Transporter Custom Use End Effector](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ergo-tranz-lift-transporter-custom-use-end-effector-1024x1024.jpg)](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift-transport/) Lifting equipment varies greatly in terms of quality and functionality. For professionals in search of specialized lifting gear tailored to the specific demands of their industry, selecting equipment that has undergone rigorous testing and has proven its efficacy in comparable industrial environments is crucial. Investigating the equipment’s performance under conditions that mirror your own operational scenarios offers invaluable insights into its appropriateness and dependability for your specific needs. Additionally, considering factors such as the equipment’s durability, ease of use, and safety features will further ensure that you make a well-informed decision that enhances operational efficiency and worker safety. ## Safety Components Modern industrial lifting equipment goes beyond the basic premise of efficiency; it’s equally about enhancing safety. With the integration of well-tested safety features, such equipment plays a pivotal role in mitigating risks associated with material handling. This not only prevents damage to materials and products, thereby safeguarding the integrity of your assets but also crucially protects your team from potential injuries. The dual benefits of preserving material quality and ensuring employee safety can significantly contribute to a more productive and cost-effective operation. Moreover, fostering a safer working environment reinforces your commitment to employee welfare, potentially boosting morale and productivity. In essence, investing in modern lifting equipment with advanced safety features is a strategic move toward optimizing operational efficiency and enhancing workplace safety. ## Compliance with Industry Standards When selecting lifting equipment for your business, the specific industry you operate in may dictate a variety of regulatory requirements that must be adhered to. It’s crucial to thoroughly review user manuals and compliance-related documents available for each piece of equipment you’re considering. This step is imperative to ensure that your choice aligns with both local and industry-specific regulations. A comprehensive understanding of these rules and regulations not only aids in choosing equipment that meets your company’s procedural needs but also ensures the safety and efficiency of your operations. Additionally, familiarizing yourself with these requirements can prevent potential legal issues and fines that could arise from non-compliance. Therefore, dedicating time to understand and comply with these regulations can significantly impact the success and smooth running of your business. ## Lifting Equipment Versatility When considering specialized lifting equipment for industrial operations, versatility stands out as a crucial attribute. When selecting lifting equipment, it’s essential to opt for options that can manage a diverse range of load weights and sizes. This adaptability ensures that the equipment can seamlessly integrate into different stages of your workflow, accommodating various tasks without the need for multiple specialized tools. Furthermore, equipment that can adapt to multiple functions not only streamlines operations but also significantly saves your team time, reducing the manual effort required. This, in turn, helps in preventing fatigue among workers and contributes to a safer working environment by minimizing the risk of work-related injuries. Investing in versatile lifting equipment is a strategic decision that enhances efficiency and safety in industrial settings. ## Ergonomic Lifting Equipment Features Ergonomic lifting equipment significantly enhances the user’s experience by making interactions more comfortable and natural. These designs, through a myriad of manipulative features such as rotation, raising, lowering, and turning, facilitate a seamless operation for your team. By accommodating the natural movements of the human body, ergonomic equipment plays a crucial role in maintaining alertness and comfort during the execution of complex tasks. This not only reduces fatigue, which can accumulate over hours of work but also significantly lowers the risk of injuries associated with repetitive strain and awkward postures. By investing in such equipment, businesses can ensure a healthier, more productive work environment, ultimately leading to increased efficiency and job satisfaction among team members.

Because of fierce competition between companies and industries, the attraction of quality employees can often be a source of stress by those in charge of employee management. Once quality skilled laborers are found the question arises: How can an employer **[retain them](https://ergotronix.com/benefits-of-employee-retention/)**? In this article, we will discuss a few methods of how employers can improve employee retention such as, comprehensive hiring practices, proper training and development, and thorough safety protocols. Let’s take a brief look at each one of these points and examine the justification. ## **Comprehensive Hiring Practices** Employee retention often begins by simply hiring the right people. And, the best way to hire the right people is to have a recruitment process that ensures hiring the right people. Subjecting candidates to a long process may send them elsewhere. Furthermore, interviewing with concise, poignant questions can help you assess if an individual has or can develop the characteristics you are looking for. Quality employees with values and characteristics that align with your company are exponentially more likely to remain on staff, rather than jumping ship at their earliest convenience. ## **Thorough Training and Skill Development** Training and development are crucial to employee retention, especially in the production industry. Employees that are inadequately train are more likely to make costly mistakes, whether it be costly to their health or to your bottom line, these mistakes can be circumvented by more thorough training. If employees aren’t adequately trained for their jobs, they may feel underprepared for their work or as if they aren’t performing well, particularly when compared to their more experienced counterparts. If employees feel like they can’t do their job, they may pursue other opportunities that will offer comprehensive onboarding and on-the-job training. ## **Safety Protocols and Actively Implemented Solutions** Safety should a high priority for every business, especially those involved in production or manufacturing. After all, every employee shouldn’t have to risk life or limbs for their paycheck. Granted, there is no way to remove all risk from life, but there are steps that can be taken beyond the required safety bare minimums. Implementation of solutions for safety and **[ergonomic](https://ergotronix.com/benefits-of-removing-physical-stress/)** issues makes employees feel more valuable and makes their overall job experience exponentially more enjoyable, particularly when physical strain is removed from their workflow. Utilization of new automation and ergonomic technology can make employees feel more like a member of a team, rather than a cog in a machine. Overall, employee retention should be a high priority and focus for employers in the production industry. Through comprehensive hiring techniques, thorough training, and active safety and ergonomic protocols, employee experience can be improved which in turn positively affects retention. Employees that are retained, become experienced employees and experienced employees become efficient workers. Not only will a focus on employee retention positively affect your employees’ experiences, it will also positively affect your bottom line.

Because the manufacturing world has such a variety of procedures, ergonomic designs are not one size fits all, especially when we consider the variety of positions and movements required. However, each position and movement can be ergonomically tailored if we consider and follow ergonomic guides and principles. ## Standing Some procedures are best performed whilst standing. When designing a standing workspace, it’s important to take the level of work and its intensity into account. Heavy work is done most ergonomically around waist level so that a worker can utilized their anatomy and body structure to perform at it’s peak of strength and endurance. Light work positions are most ergonomically performed from abdomen to chest level, all to reduce stress on the neck and shoulder structure. Precision work should be placed at shoulder height to eye level in order to allow for a clear line-of-sight to the operator. After looking through various types of work, we notice that many tasks require multiple steps and types of work to perform the sequence of the work task. This problem can many times be remedied by implementing a multi-axis work positioning device that enables the operator to quickly, efficiently, safely and ergonomically correct transition between tasks without the risk of bodily injury. But even with such aids, it is important to offer the operators a variety of tasks with adequate breaks to avoid the development of any musculoskeletal disorders. ## Sitting Sitting work will be under the umbrella of light or precision work as sitting is not conducive to doing any heavy labor safely. Sitting work stations still require customization as everyone is built differently and consequently needs different accommodation. Things to consider when building a sitting station are posture, spine support, and lumbar support. Spines naturally have an S-shaped curve and need to be supported by the chair so the spine have plenty of cushion for lumbar support. A sitting workstation, must also offer comfort while offering good posture and additional stress to any parts of the body. While sitting work positions in general are less stressful to the human body than standing positions, still adequate breaks should be implemented. ### Conclusion There are multiple things to consider when designing workstations and work task positions. The intensity of work, frequency of work, and the various movements required to complete the task are all important factors to consider.

But how exactly does an emphasis on ergonomics result in improved efficiency? One way that we can identify a change in efficiency is to consider “Lean Manufacturing” practices. Lean practices in manufacturing involves the elimination of wastes, and centers around [5 “S” terms](https://www.leanproduction.com/5s/) that originate in Japanese Manufacturing. The connection between ergonomics and efficiency, particularly within the context of Lean Manufacturing practices, presents a compelling argument for the thoughtful integration of ergonomic principles into workplace design and operation. This approach not only enhances employee well-being but also significantly contributes to the overall productivity and effectiveness of manufacturing processes. By delving deeper into how ergonomics aligns with the 5 “S’s” of Lean Manufacturing and the reduction of the seven types of waste, we can uncover the multifaceted benefits of this integration. ## The Five S’s of Manufacturing and Ergonomics ### Seiri (Sort) Integration with Ergonomics: By eliminating unnecessary items and organizing the necessary ones, workplaces can reduce clutter, leading to fewer distractions and hazards. Ergonomically, this means workers have what they need within easy reach, minimizing excessive movement and reducing the risk of injuries related to overreaching or unnecessary lifting. ### Seiton (Set in Order) Ergonomic Benefits: Organizing the workspace so that everything has a specific place and is clearly labeled not only streamlines work processes but also reduces physical strain. Tools and materials positioned optimally reduce the need for awkward postures, such as bending or twisting, thereby enhancing worker comfort and efficiency. ### Seiso (Shine) Enhanced Safety and Productivity: Regular cleaning prevents the buildup of debris that could cause slips, trips, and falls. From an ergonomic perspective, a clean workspace is also a safer workspace. It ensures that equipment and tools are in good condition, which can prevent strain injuries and accidents. ### Seiketsu (Standardize) Standardizing for Ergonomic Success: Implementing standard procedures for the maintenance of cleanliness and organization ensures that ergonomic principles are consistently applied. This regularity helps in fostering a workplace environment where safety and efficiency are ingrained in the daily routine, minimizing the risk of ergonomic injuries. ### Shitsuke (Sustain) Long-term Ergonomic Health: Making the 5S methodology a way of life includes a strong emphasis on sustaining ergonomic practices. Continual adherence to ergonomic principles ensures ongoing improvement in worker comfort, health, and productivity. ## Addressing the Seven Types of Waste with Ergonomics Ergonomics plays a pivotal role in eliminating various forms of waste identified in manufacturing systems: 1. Overproduction and Ergonomics: By designing workstations to suit the worker’s capabilities, ergonomics can reduce the physical strain that leads to errors and overproduction. 2. Excess Inventory: Ergonomic solutions can streamline operations, ensuring that only necessary items are within reach and excess inventory is minimized. 3. Excess Motion: Ergonomic interventions directly target the reduction of unnecessary movements, thereby cutting down on time and energy wasted. 4. Defects: Reducing physical strain and improving workstation design can decrease the likelihood of errors and defects in the manufacturing process. 5. Over-processing: By optimizing the efficiency of each task through ergonomic principles, the tendency to over-process can be diminished. 6. Waiting: Ergonomically designed workflows minimize downtime and reduce the waiting times between processes. 7. Transport: Effective ergonomic practices can lead to a more logical and streamlined layout of workstations and equipment, reducing unnecessary transport of materials. In a study conducted by Nor Abdullah and Dr. Rosnah Yusuff, the direct impact of ergonomic interventions on reducing musculoskeletal disorder, or [MSD risks](https://ergotronix.com/understanding-musculoskeletal-disorders-risk-factors-resulting-from-work-tasks/) was evident. By analyzing and modifying the movements and postures of workers, significant improvements were observed, not just in their health and safety, but also in the overall efficiency and productivity of the manufacturing processes. The seamless integration of ergonomics with Lean Manufacturing principles, particularly through the lens of the 5 “S’s”, underscores a holistic approach to enhancing workplace efficiency. This approach not only addresses immediate safety and health concerns but also paves the way for sustainable improvements in manufacturing efficiency. By prioritizing ergonomic considerations in the design and execution of manufacturing processes, companies can achieve a harmonious balance between worker well-being and operational excellence.

Virtually any type of heavy manufacturing will require welding at some point. Welding is a highly involved process with a number of steps that must be followed carefully. Additionally, welding has a relatively high risk of bodily injury. Workplace safety should always be of high priority. Therefore, a safe, efficient workplace with streamlined processes and [good ergonomic tool design](https://ergotronix.com/the-benefits-of-ergonomics-at-work/) is paramount. If you want to improve workplace productivity, you need to better understand the major obstacles where welders often lose time. Because welding is such a complex process, there is often not one simple answer to why productivity may be down. Instead, you need to consider multiple avenues. Here are just some of the many places where productivity loss can occur. ## **Out Of Position Welds** Welding that isn’t horizontally aligned is considered [out of position](https://www.tws.edu/blog/skilled-trades/what-is-out-of-position-welding/). These welds may be vertical, at an odd angle, or even overhead. Such welds require 25 to 40 percent more time to weld than the same joint in a comfortable horizontal work position. The easiest way to solve this problem is with a secure, multi-axis work part positioner. While shops typically use slings, chains, props, or ad hoc solutions made with whatever’s at hand, to obtain positioning, often without considering safety and efficiency in the positioning solution. Instead, a multi-axis work positioning solution that provides height, tilt, and rotation allows for needed flexibility to access complicated welds easier, safer, and efficiently. ## **Safety Concerns** A great deal of money is lost to workplace accidents every year. Secondary to the enormous impact on human capital, accidents also increase operating costs. They cause hefty work delays and disruptions in your workflow. One of the ways you can reduce workplace accidents is by ensuring that your workers don’t have to strain their bodies while reaching hard to get welds. Constantly having to reposition yourself leads to discomfort, fatigue, strain, and eventually injury. Providing multi-axis work part positioners is an easy way to [reduce these concerns](https://ergotronix.com/ergo-master-work-positioner-can-help-reduce-injuries/). Selecting a flexible positioning option can safely provide access to all needed angles to weld, even [turning the workpiece upside down](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/position/#tab-1512427057627-3-4), offers a modern safe workplace solution. ## **Maintenance Issues** Welding involves a great deal of equipment, and introducing a parts positioner can reduce the need for other equipment. By automating the positioning and manipulation of the workpiece, other welding equipment and fixtures can be simplified. When the workpiece is supported in a correct comfortable work position, you no longer have to rely on the extended use of cranes, hoists, and other expensive equipment. Having a machine designed to do the positioning also prolongs the lifespan of the peripheral welding equipment. It means you have to spend less time maintaining your equipment, which means your welders can use it safely for a longer amount of time. ## **A Work Part Positioner Can Improve Consistency** Consistency is key in welding. Inconsistencies and variations in weld quality can decrease the finished product’s safety and reliability and may require additional repairs or rework. Avoiding rework is a key component of improving productivity. Rework requires additional inspection, problem determination, and the creation of a solution. It takes a significant amount of time and money– rework costs at least twice the amount of the original fabrication, and three times as much isn’t uncommon. To improve consistency, welders must be able to replicate the same quality weld for each positioning and alignment. A parts positioner aids welders in achieving comfort while welding and allows them to duplicate the positioning and alignment of the workpieces. A smart work positioner also determines the optimum sequence of positioning to alleviate heat buildup and ensures better weld consistency. A smart work positioner will also allow for individual positioning needs and optimum flexibility to obtain weld consistency. ## **Inefficient Workflow? A Work Part Positioner Could Be the Answer** Manual work position adjustments don’t just take time and put a strain on welders but also interrupt the welder’s workflow. By eliminating the need for frequent adjustments and repositioning, a welder can maintain a continuous workflow in comfort. An automated or programmable parts positioner creates massive time savings for your welders. It takes positioning and repositioning basically out of the picture and allows the welders to focus on the actual welding, giving overall better productivity. There’s no longer a need for trial and error adjustments or constant stops to reposition as the work positioner will safely hold and position your workpiece in the right optimum place every time. Such accurate positioning helps eliminate welding defects and reduces the need for rework or repair. A parts positioner lets your welders achieve high-quality, accurate welds from the start, leading to a better workflow with fewer interruptions and lost work due to problems with the weld. If you’re looking for ways to improve your welders’ productivity, look no further. The parts positioning solutions offered by Ergotronix can help you properly position virtually anything weighing from a few ounces to 6.6 tons.

For us to answer this question, first we must understand fully what ergonomics is. Ergonomics is designing a job to be fit for the worker so that the work is both safer and more efficient. Examples of ergonomics are present in many workplaces, we see split keyboards in places where workers type often, lifts present where workers are asked to move heavy objects, variable height desks where workers spend many hours a day. These types of solutions are to solve ergonomic problems that can be found in many workplaces. But why is it important to solve these ergonomic issues? Ergonomic problems are detrimental to the workplace in many ways. The strain on an employee via an awkward posture, heavy lifting, extreme temperature, or repetitive motions can affect the musculoskeletal system. This can lead to employees becoming injured temporarily or worse, sustaining an injury that leads to chronic pain for the remainder of their life. Not only can ergonomic problems be detrimental to employee health, but can also be problematic to work efficiency and effectiveness. Overall, Ergonomic problems are roadblocks for any company looking to streamline its productivity. To highlight how ergonomics could benefit your workplace, here are five advantages of ergonomics in the workplace.

They begin to feel more comfortable and confident in the workplace. They will less frequently feel uneasy or anxious about doing many of the tasks presently assigned to them and will be more likely to accept new responsibilities if they feel like what they truly are, a valuable asset to the company. ### **Fewer Employees Experiencing Pain** Ergonomic improvements for employees can eliminate many instances where employees feel pain. Even if this pain doesn’t lead to days of absence, this pain can be a large mental strain on an employee and could potentially develop into something more severe, which could lead to the aforementioned days of absence. A work environment free of pain and extreme working conditions makes employees feel confident and a sense of satisfaction from their work. ### **Ergonomics Increases Productivity** When an employee has access to ergonomic solutions, their productivity and efficiency increase. An employee feeling safe, comfortable, and confident in their equipment and procedures will motivate them to perform to the best of their ability. Ergonomic solutions can also make a task much simpler and less taxing which enables an employee to perform it more often while exerting less force, leading to feeling less stressed and more satisfied with their work. ### **Ergonomics Increases Savings** Alongside many of these other benefits, we see ergonomic solutions will lead to increased savings. Perhaps the initial cost appears to be a barrier that bars employers from buying in on ergonomic solutions. In reality, ergonomic solutions are money-saving solutions. Ergonomic solutions lead to: - Fewer injuries - More productive and sustainable employees - Fewer workers’ compensation claims ### **Ergonomics Reduced Absenteeism** Solutions to ergonomic problems can potentially alleviate strain and discomfort from an employee’s work life. This will also decrease the risk that an employee would sustain an injury that would require them to take a leave of absence from their work. This enables employees to come to work more often, and contribute to the company in a meaningful way, on a daily basis. Overall, Ergonomic solutions can benefit a workplace in multiple ways, both seen and unseen. Here at Ergotronix, we create technology for the future! Our products make it safer and easier for your workers to handle any manufacturing or assembly jobs. Whether you need work positioners, lifts, or transportation equipment, we can help satisfy your needs.

This process becomes especially difficult when these objects and materials are heavy, bulky, or both. Enter the battery powered Ergo Tranz, a lift and transporter engineered to safely move any object up to 600 lbs. with ease. A single operator can now securely lift and transport these loads with no physical strain. The Ergo Tranz enables one operator to accomplish the manual labor of multiple workers, with none of the physical strain The compact, aluminum-based design, makes the Ergo Tranz light-weight and easy to maneuver. The single-mast makes it easy to see around and maneuver workloads around objects and in tight passages. The Ergo Tranz also features a three-position, foot-operated brake system, including a parking brake, swivel or directional caster lock position to ease steering. The built-in overload protection further optimize safety. Not only will utilizing an Ergo Tranz offer a safer operation, but they will also become more efficient. To illustrate this principle, an Ergotronix customer said this about the Ergo Tranz: All of our operators love using the Ergo Tranz® unit. Everyone who has seen it in use wonders why we didn’t get this product sooner. The product this lift is being used for, has always been physically challenging and required two people because of the size and weight being transported. Now, with the Ergo Tranz®, just about anyone can handle this job without assistance. Operations that previously took multiple operators to complete can now be conducted by a single operator. The speed and precision is the courtesy of an infinitely variable lift speed, which allows for both rapid lifting and slow precise positioning, when required. All controls are easily accessible by the push of a button, including optional grip, turn and other desired motorized functions. A wide selection of standard motorized and non-motorized end-effectors are available as are customizations to marry the Ergo Tranz to a particular operational task. The flexibility, precision and ergonomic design of the Ergo Tranz compact lift transporter make it an incredible solution for a broad range of lift, transport, manipulation and positioning applications. It’s time to take control of your company through increasing its safety and productivity by investing in a modern Ergo Tranz lift transporter unit from Ergotronix.

The Ergo Master® is a manual multi-axis work positioner, while the Ergo Chief® is a motorized positioner version. These work positioners available from Ergotronix include the following: - Ergonomic multi-axis work/weld positioner - 360º rotation, height, and tilt positioning - Flexible and safe work holding/positioning - Easy fixturing - Optional weld ground system - Mobile options ## **What is a Manual Work Positioner?** Manual work positioners like the Ergo Master® hold a similar purpose to motorized positioners but each position is manually manipulated. [The Ergo Master®](https://ergotronix.com/landing/ergo-master/) is available in several multi-axis positioner configurations, including a 2-axis bench mount and a 3-axis floor mount for up to 300-pound load capacities. The manual work positioner available from Ergotronix includes the following: - Multi-axis work/weld positioner - 360º rotation, height, and tilt positioning - Repetitive safe holding lock in the desired working position - Adjustable friction during positioning transitions - Supports workloads up to 300 pounds - Mobile options available ### **Benefits of Manual Work Positioners** #### Advanced Safety Capabilities High-quality manual work positioners [reduce the risk](https://ergotronix.com/ergo-master-work-positioner-can-help-reduce-injuries/) of [on-job injuries](https://www.bls.gov/iif/), protecting employees and enhancing safety at work. Because of the position flexibility of a manual work positioner, employees work faster and safer, boosting productivity and guaranteeing that the operator is comfortable throughout the entire manufacturing process. #### Consistent and High-Quality Results Manual work positioners are highly reliable, producing consistent results for a very long time. Manual work positioners promote consistent high-quality work output. #### Reduced Labor Costs Many organizations use manual work positioners to reduce labor costs, as these devices lower the amount of labor necessary to produce an effective end product. These machines not only reduce time spent on production but encourage cost savings. They are created for long-term use and are reliable, lowering the amount you’ll spend on maintenance and saving you money long-term. #### Time Management A manual work positioner is excellent for managing your time on the job and promoting efficient, seamless operations. The higher the quality of your positioner, the faster the cycle times will be, as these devices reduce the need for cumbersome physically rotating and tilting of the work into the right position for operation. This benefit means you can get more done faster without sacrificing quality. On-site injuries are one of the biggest concerns many people in manufacturing and engineering face on a daily basis. Exposure to unguarded and unsafe machines causes frequent injuries for employees. In fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) found that people who operate and maintain machinery face an estimated [18,000](https://www.osha.gov/etools/machine-guarding) annual amputations, lacerations, abrasions, crushing injuries, and deaths annually. With this in mind, there’s no denying the importance of effective work positioners in the workplace. An ergonomic decision, such as a motorized or manual work positioner, reduces employee strain and fatigue, lowering the chance of injury and fostering a safer work environment. ### **Benefits of Motorized Work Positioners** #### High Load Capacity One of the primary advantages of a motorized work positioner is its ability to safely manipulate higher loads compared to a manual work positioner. For instance, Ergotronix’s motorized Ergo Chief® can easily manipulate loads up to 400 pounds, eliminating the need for operators to do all of the heavy lifting, contributing to lower injury rates. #### Efficiency Motorized work positioners are incredibly efficient, reducing the time required to complete industrial operations. Because of the numerous operational benefits of motorized positioners, employees can navigate work efficiently and safely, getting more done in less time. #### Adaptable A motorized work positioner can help with practically any application or operation in the manufacturing and engineering world, making them valuable assets for teams looking to simplify operational processes. No matter the scope of your project, a high-quality motorized work positioner can meet your needs. ## **Why Ergotronix is the Top Provider for Your Positioner Needs** Whether you’re looking for a motorized or manual work positioner, we’ve got you covered.

The leading causes of injury in manufacturing account for $1.77 billion dollars in overexertion involving outside sources, $1.13 billion dollars on falls on the same level, and $0.85 billion on people being struck by an object or equipment. We know that risk factors include repetition, contact stress, force, static load, vibration, and awkward postures to name a few. Did you know worker’s compensation will average $39,424 dollars, and serious non-fatal injuries cost $147 million a week in the manufacturing industry? Who covers the cost of these injuries? Five percent is covered by the state and local government, 11% by the federal government, 13% by private health insurance, 21% by workers compensation and an astonishing 50% out of pocket. ![Welder using a welding work positioner](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/for-ergonomics-sake--940x780.jpg) ## **Ergonomic Work Positioners Increase Workplace Safety** Time for a quick study. This study was funded by a global manufacturing company that purchased our work positioners, as part of a much larger consulting project. The manufacturing company installed the Ergo Chief work positioner to eliminate a physically demanding step of an assembly job. The following study compared several factors before and after the device was installed. Results for this step of the job include: - Assembly time: 73% less, - Product damage/rework: 100% less (eliminated) - Strain on back: 100% less (eliminated) - Strain on shoulder: 95% less. We have built all our [work positioners](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/) to be able to handle the heavy, and sometimes awkward load so that your employees are far less likely to be injured. How do ergonomic machines change the workplace? We build our equipment around the worker so that our technology enhances their ability to work efficiently and effectively with a minimal risk of injury improving the safety of engineering.

The relationship between the two positioners makes it easier to accomplish precise and coordinated manipulations, as both positioners work together to create a smooth, accurate, and streamlined manufacturing process. Because of the benefits possible through using this configuration, many manufacturing teams want to implement this combination of technology into their own processes. ## **Benefits of Headstock Tailstock Configuration** The multi-axis headstock tailstock configuration aims to increase the use of ergonomic practices in manufacturing as workers no longer have to compress themselves into uncomfortable or dangerous positions to successfully complete work on a project. As such, the worker doesn’t experience [fatigue](https://www.osha.gov/worker-fatigue), strain, or soreness as often as he or she might when using older manual manipulation solutions. As a result, manufacturing teams can achieve new levels of productivity, with fewer injuries and less fatigue, while reducing Workers’ Compensation claims, and avoiding the investment needed to hire and train replacement workers. Keeping manufacturing employees safe, comfortable, and engaged also helps to increase the quality of the projects at hand. When a worker can reach every angle and the desired position comfortably, they become better able to enhance their skills. Consistently creating better products. ## **Choosing the Right Equipment** Plenty of equipment manufacturers have offerings available, but to ensure that your company invests in new equipment in ways that will generate high ROIs, choosing the right equipment option is essential.

In a practical sense, [ergonomics](https://www.osha.gov/ergonomics) refers more to the observation and optimization of a work environment to better suit the human body and by implementing aids in the work process that decrease worker fatigue and injury, while increasing efficiency, productivity, and comfort. It can be easy to see how designing workspaces to be more ergonomically friendly pays huge dividends for companies that choose to do so. However, ergonomic solutions can only be of value when they are implemented and used correctly and mitigate the potential for workplace hazards. ## What Are Ergonomic Hazards in the Workplace? Ergonomic hazards in the workplace include things that may seem fairly harmless initially but threaten to become larger issues if not addressed properly. Activities that require employees to exert strain and physical effort, such as heavy lifting, carrying, and repositioning objects or performing other physically demanding tasks repeatedly can today be addressed and corrected by implementing available ergonomic aids, tools, or products. [![Ergo Tranz Roll Lift Transporter Bundle Lift Transporter](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/ergo-tranz-roll-lift-transporter-bundle-lift-transporter-1024x1024.jpg)](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/lift-transport/) The Ergo Tranz helps eliminate many situations where the employee would need to carry, bend, twist, and lift. Even if there are no obvious physically strenuous tasks on your shop floor, this doesn’t mean there aren’t ergonomic issues present. Repetitive motions, prolonged exposure to heat, cold, loud noises, or vibrations, are all examples of ergonomic issues that all deal with implications to the human body other than just physical exertion. To enhance efficiency and safety in the industrial workplace, Ergotronix provides a range of tailored solutions. These solutions are designed to address the specific needs and challenges faced by businesses operating in the industrial sector, ensuring a safer and more productive work environment. ## The Ergo Tranz Compact Lift Transporter The Ergo Tranz is designed to significantly reduce instances requiring employees to engage in physically demanding tasks such as lifting, manipulating, or carrying heavy items. This innovative tool aims to improve workplace safety and efficiency by minimizing the risk of injury associated with these strenuous activities. ### Ergo Tranz Features - Lift and transport workload up to 650 lbs - Compact, light-weight hand truck - Heavy Duty Battery power for lift and other desired powered work manipulations - Eliminates body strain of manual work effort - Adaptable to a variety of standard and custom end-effectors - Built-in safety features ## The Ergo Force Motorized Work Positioner The Ergo Force is specifically designed to securely manipulate heavy loads with ease. This innovative tool allows for full 360-degree rotation, lifting, and turning of work objects during the work process. Its robust design and functionality make it an essential addition to any workspace aiming to enhance efficiency while prioritizing worker safety and comfort. [![Ergonomic Hazards in the Industrial Workplace: Using a Rotating Work Positioner](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ergo-force-with-tank-1024x1024.jpg)](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/position/#tab-ergo-force) The Ergo Force is one of four ergonomic work positioners that secures heavy loads. It can rotate and twist heavy objects while being worked on to eliminate strain, awkward positions, and frequent heavy lifting. ### Ergo Force Features - Ergonomic motorized multi-axis work positioner/weld positioner - 360º rotation, height, and tilt positioning - Support workloads up to 1,500 pounds - 2- or 3-axis configuration - Precise electronic control system - Built for heavy-duty factory applications - L-shaped arm allows for turning the attached product up-side-down - Optional rotary ground system - Turn table allows for ease of fixturing While the human body is a biological marvel in and of itself, this does not mean it is indestructible. It is important to remember that the human body has limitations and that modern ergonomic solutions are designed to bridge and cater to those limitations. Therefore, when an ergonomic workplace issue is identified, it’s important to address it in a timely fashion. If left unresolved, an initial minor issue can quickly or over time snowball into becoming a serious problem. The nature of ergonomics is that solutions are oftentimes simple. If the work is too physically demanding, consider implementing equipment that can eliminate the human exertion elements. If there is an environment with potentially harmful stimuli to the workers, provide personal protective equipment to ensure their safety at all times. The possibility for ergonomic improvements to the workplace is virtually limitless. Next time you find yourself on the shop floor, ask yourself, “Is there something more I can do here?” Chances are, there will be, and your shop floor personnel will thank you with improved performance and quality of work. ## Ready to Eliminate Ergonomic Hazards in the Workplace If you’re interested in discovering how Ergotronix can transform your industrial workplace into a safer and more enjoyable environment for your team, we invite you to get in touch with us.

By addressing these risk factors, employers can help reduce the likelihood of MSD injuries in the workplace. ## Implementing Ergonomic Solutions Many industries have successfully implemented ergonomic solutions to address MSD injury risks in the modern industrial workplace. These interventions include retrofitting or altering existing equipment, changing work practices, and purchasing new tools or other devices to implement in the production process. These modifications reduce physical demands, eliminate extraneous movements, lower injury rates, decrease the associated workers’ compensation costs, and reduce employee turnover. In virtually all instances, work efficiency and productivity increase as well. Simple, low-cost solutions are often available to solve problems. ## Classifying Ergonomic Solutions These solutions come in many forms but can be broken down into the following three categories: ### Personal Protective Equipment Personal protective equipment is also a form of protection against ergonomic hazards. While personal protective equipment does not eliminate ergonomic hazards, it does help to mitigate the potential damage these hazards can inflict on employees. Personal protective equipment is anything that individual employees utilize to protect themselves from potentially injurious stimuli. Examples of personal protective equipment would include: - Use padding to reduce direct contact with hard, sharp, or vibrating surfaces - Wear properly fitting gloves to help with cold conditions, hot objects, or to protect against damaging debris while maintaining the ability to grasp items easily. - Wearing respiratory protection in areas with limited ventilation or noxious fumes. - Wearing hearing protection in environments subject to loud sounds. ### Engineering Solutions Engineering controls are the most easily recognizable and most effective solutions to eliminating ergonomic risk factors. Engineering controls are any implementations that result in a physical change of the workplace by adding machinery or devices that eliminate strain from an employee’s workload or reduce the overall hazardousness of the operation. Examples of engineering controls would include: - Use a [device to lift and reposition heavy objects](https://ergotronix.com/heavy-lifting-equipment-ergo-i/) to limit force exertion. - Reduce the weight of a load to limit force exertion. - Reposition a worktable to eliminate a long/excessive reach and enable working in neutral postures. - Use diverging [conveyors](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/convey-transfer/) off a main line so that tasks are less repetitive. - Install diverters on conveyors to direct materials toward the worker to eliminate excessive leaning or reaching. - Use [work positioning tools](https://ergotronix.com/work-positioners/) to enable neutral postures. ### Administrative or Work Practice Solutions Administrative or work practice controls are oftentimes the least thought of solutions to ergonomic problems, however, these types of solutions can be very effective for highly repetitive tasks in a manufacturing environment. Administrative solutions are anything that an organization does to restructure the process or procedure in a manufacturing environment. Examples of Administrative solutions would include: - Require heavy loads to be lifted by two people to limit force exertion. - Establish systems where workers are rotated away from tasks to minimize the duration of continual exertion, repetitive motions, and awkward postures. - Design a job rotation system in which employees rotate between jobs that use different muscle groups. - Staff “floating workers” to provide periodic breaks for other employees between scheduled breaks. - Properly use and maintain pneumatic and power tools. Engineering controls are the most desirable, where possible, as they have the greatest potential to eliminate injurious incidents. Administrative or work practice controls may be appropriate in some cases where engineering controls cannot be implemented or when different procedures are needed after the implementation of the new engineering controls. Personal protection solutions have only limited effectiveness when dealing with ergonomic hazards and should be implemented in addition to other ergonomic solutions. Understandably so, risk factors cannot be eliminated in their entirety from our world. However, in a workplace, we can eliminate and mitigate as many risk factors as possible. Work tasks should be designed to limit exposure to ergonomic risk factors. Whether these solutions are engineering, administrative, or the implementation of personal protective equipment is not the focal point. The focal point should be ensuring the safety, comfort, and productivity of employees during manufacturing processes.

It does seem unreasonable that individuals should have to put themselves in harm’s way simply to make a living. Fortunately, the majority of glaring workplace hazards are mitigated in order to adhere to a variety of organizational guidelines that have been implemented to ensure a standard of workplace safety. But in the industry of production, there are hazards that do not seem inherently dangerous in the short term, but long-term exposure can lead to costly, lifelong disorders. Liberty Mutual Insurance™ produces an annual study that compiles and calculates the total cost and causes of the ten most common types of workplace incidents. This study is published every June and showcases the amount of money being spent on preventable injuries in the workplace. This information is based on disabling workplace injuries (any injury that causes an employee to miss work for more than five days) and the direct costs to employers based on medical bills and lost-wage expenses. The rankings of the top ten most common and most costly workplace accidents are as follows: - Overexertion involving outside sources - 63 Billion - Falls on the Same Level - 26 Billion - Struck by objects or equipment - 66 Billion - Falls to lower levels - 07 Billion - Awkward postures - 01 Billion - Roadway incidents - 59 Billion - Slip without falls - 52 Billion - Compressed by equipment or object - 19 Billion - Struck against object or equipment - 87 Billion - Non-roadway incidents with motorized land vehicles. - 39 Billion After reviewing these statistics, we can see that there is an exorbitant amount of dollars flowing from companies’ pockets to pay for preventable injuries, almost 50 Billion dollars. Truthfully, the amount of dollars lost by companies is even larger since this figure only factors in dollars spent directly on workers’ compensation, and neglects to mention the dollars lost in productivity or days of absenteeism., etc. This is money that could have been allocated to innumerable places to better progress the individual businesses. Unfortunately, this money is absorbed by incidents that could have been prevented. Simple preventable measures include workstation redesign, and utilizing other available ergonomic tools, methods and devices that have shown to reduce work related stress factors. Because businesses make decisions based on the analysis of costs and benefits, it is important to understand how much proper shop floor design and utilization of proper equipment can benefit in the prevention of unnecessary costs. The list for benefits as a direct result from a focus on safety vastly outweighs the costs of being safety-centric.

With our selection of integrated, customizable equipment, we can streamline the most complicated factory processes. Whether your employees are lifting, bending, crouching, or reaching, we have systems in place that can transport and position your materials without running the risk of strain or injury. ## **How Ergonomic Industrial Workstations Benefit Productivity** Ergonomic industrial workstations can make the workplace more productive in a number of ways. For one, an ergonomic workstation benefits the health of employees by keeping them comfortable and simplifying their operational processes. In addition, [ergonomic workstations reduce the likelihood of injuries](https://osha.oregon.gov/OSHAPubs/ergo/ergoadvantages.pdf) occurring, and thus, they reduce scheduling issues, workers’ compensation claims, and the potential for long-term health conditions to arise. These workstations also help work proceed with fewer delays by making equipment more accessible and because employees don’t have to strain themselves as often, they’ll remain more engaged due to less fatigue and chronic pain. ## **Ergotronix Products Can Improve Comfort and Efficiency** Ergotronix aims to revolutionize manufacturing and industrial processes by providing a selection of products that simplify heavy-duty work. We carry both manual and motorized positioning equipment, lift systems, transporters, and roller systems to make maneuvering heavy equipment safe and easy for manufacturers. [Our product line includes](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/) the following positioner models: Ergo Master® (Manual), Ergo Chief® (Motorized), Ergo Force® (Motorized, Heavy Duty), and Ergo Control (Programmable). We also carry the Ergo Tranz® Compact Lift Transporter, the Ergo I® Telescopic Lift System, and the Ergo Roll® Multi-Directional Roller. ## **Tips for Adjusting and Using Your Workstation Correctly** If you’ve recently implemented new workstation equipment or you plan to introduce new equipment in the near future, there are a few things you can do in order to ensure success. For one, familiarizing yourself with the manual that accompanies the equipment is a good way to gather a general understanding of the features that the piece includes. If any supplementary learning materials are available, such as video tutorials, reviewing them is also beneficial. When it comes to having your team utilize the equipment for the first time, providing the right information is a must. Not only will providing in-depth training prevent injuries but it will also demonstrate how to harness all of the equipment’s capabilities. By illustrating all the ways your team can use the equipment, you’re getting the most out of your investment. If you’re able to schedule a demonstration with a representative from the company you ordered the equipment from, take advantage of it. Live demonstrations are a great way to highlight all of the new elements of your ergonomic equipment. ## **Common Problems with Workstations and How to Solve Them** Several problems commonly occur between industrial workstations and the manufacturers who use them. [Some of these problems include](https://www.osha.gov/ergonomics/identify-problems): - Repetitive movements, such as performing the exact same motions over and over again for extended periods of time - Using excessive force, such as straining to lift heavy objects or applying too much pressure when using equipment - Awkward positioning or maintaining a stressed posture for extended periods of time, such as frequently operating with a twisted or extended wrist, leaning, crouching, or hunching - Excessive vibration exposure, which can lead to numbness and poor grip on pieces of equipment - Applying too much pressure against the body, such as leaning against ledges or pressing into table corners Seeking ergonomic solutions can remedy most if not all of these issues. For example, replacing outdated workstation equipment with adjustable tables, chairs, and pieces of equipment can reduce instances of bending, hunching, and straining. Making use of machinery that simplifies lifting and transporting heavy material can decrease accident risks, relieve back and neck pain, and prevent accidental damage to manufactured materials. Additionally, through effective training that covers how to use ergonomic equipment, employees can decrease the number of awkward positions they typically hold, as ergonomic equipment encourages users to keep natural positioning. ## **Equipment to Move Heavy Objects: The Importance of Maintenance** Maintaining your equipment on a regular basis is a must, both to extend the lifespan of the equipment you’ve invested in and to ensure the safety of your employees. All of your manufacturing equipment should be examined according to the schedule recommended by the manufacturer and when observing each item, a checklist should be completed. This way, you can ensure that each component of the machinery has been evaluated. In addition to reviewing the condition of your equipment, routine maintenance should be conducted by an experienced professional. Doing so enables your team to keep your machinery performing at its highest level. To transform your industrial workspaces into ergonomic workstations, reach out to Ergotronix to schedule a demo. Discover how we can customize our equipment to meet all of your manufacturing needs.

Welding is also a relatively dangerous job. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than [560,000 welders](https://waterwelders.com/welding-accidents-statistics/) are injured per year. These injuries frequently come from the weld itself. While some injuries can be mitigated by safety equipment, like eye injuries, others are more challenging to prevent because they come from the weld itself. ## **Welding Safety Concerns** Many welds are done top-down on a flat surface. For these horizontal welds, you don’t have as many safety concerns. But what about vertical welds, which can sag out of place, leading to uneven wilds, drips, and a weaker finished product? Or overhead welding, where the molten metal can drip down onto the welder? Some specific welding rods simply can’t work in vertical or overhead positions, too, meaning that these jobs can be more frustrating for a welder. And that’s just the risks of the weld itself. Welding is physically strenuous, and welders are constantly getting up and down. They may be required to position themselves awkwardly, and frequently report pain at the end of their shift. The job can be exhausting, too. In one study that asked welders about the [pain they experience on the job](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-18326-3_23), 67% reported pain during work, 78% reported neck discomfort as a result of long periods of positional discomfort during welding operations, and 48% of the workers reported fatigue on the job. The bottom line is that while welders are important workers, the job can carry a great deal of risk for a welder’s long-term physical health. Of course, many welders know this when they choose their career– but there’s a difference between a job that is physically demanding and a job that is unsafe for its workforce. Welding doesn’t have to be so destructive to welders’ bodies, and welding employers should do all they can to prevent [workplace injuries](https://ergotronix.com/2022-workplace-safety-index/). When you design for good welding ergonomics, you can reduce many of the long-term and short-term bodily dangers of welding, and keep your workers safe. One of the best ways to do this is with a parts positioner. A parts positioner is a mechanical device used by welders to hold and manipulate workpieces, ensuring proper positioning and alignment during the welding operation. Parts positioners can significantly contribute to welding efficiency and offer several benefits to workers, including improved safety. Parts positioners can be made at a number of scales and sizes to accurately position and accommodate parts ranging from just a few ounces to several tons. The appropriate parts positioner greatly depends on your welding needs. For many welding jobs, a manually-operated parts positioner like the [Ergo Master Work Positioner](https://ergotronix.com/solutions/position/) is a cost-effective safety measure that can make a welder’s job safer and easier. Here are 5 ways that manual parts positioners for welding can help keep welders safe on the job. ## **Using the Ergo Master Work Positioners for Welding:** ### **1\. Reduces Risk Exposure** One of the key benefits of a parts positioner is that it reduces the amount of time a welder spends in close proximity to the weld. This means less exposure to hazardous fumes, molten metal, intense heat, UV radiation, and sparks. The positioner will let a welder position their workpiece at a safe distance from the welding arc, or tilt it so that the fumes are directed away from their airstream. This reduces the risk of burns, eye injuries, lung problems, and other health hazards. ### **2\. Better Positioning** A parts positioner reduces the chances of accidents caused by instability, which can cause serious risks to the welder. Welding frequently requires precise movements and stability during the process, and slips and sudden movements can compromise the safety of the weld and the welder. Parts positioners create a stable, controlled platform for the workpiece that reduces the likelihood of an accident. Additionally, better positioning leads to better visibility. When the piece is positioned well, a welder can see the weld location and weld pool more accurately. This improved visibility improves their control of the welding process, meaning there are fewer chances for accidents, like accidental contact with the welding arc. ### **3\. Reduced Manual Handling** The more manual handling of heavy workpieces a welder performs, the more likely they are to experience [musculoskeletal injury](https://ergotronix.com/ergo-master-work-positioner-can-help-reduce-injuries/), strain, and fatigue. All of these can cause serious safety issues when they occur on the job, as well as long-term health concerns. A parts positioner can hold, rotate, and tilt the piece for the welder. This creates a safer and more comfortable work environment. ### **4\. Makes Safety Equipment Easier To Use** Welding requires bulky personal protective equipment (PPE) that can be somewhat challenging to use. A parts positioner can enhance the effectiveness and ease of use of PPE by providing better clearance and access to the weld site while wearing bulky PPE. Parts positioners for welding can make it easier to use welding helmets, respiratory protection, safety glasses, and thick, unwieldy gloves. By making it easier to use the PPE, a parts positioner makes it easier for a welder to work safely and comfortably, even on long jobs. ### **5\. Positioners For Welding Make It Easier To Access The Weld** A manual parts positioner can easily rotate and tilt the workpiece, providing better accessibility for welders. And don’t think that manual parts positioners need a ton of strength to use, an easy-to-use foot control lets welders reposition the part by working smarter, not harder. Using a parts positioner means that welders don’t have to constantly fight to position themselves correctly, which can greatly reduce fatigue. By allowing the positioner to handle the weight and positioning tasks, workers can focus on performing precise welds with reduced physical strain, leading to increased comfort and productivity. ![Ergo Master Work Positioner](https://ergotronix.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/ergo-master-with-engine-and-shadow.png) ## **Ergo Master Manual Work Positioner Features** - Ergonomic solution - Multi-axis work positioner/weld positioner - 360º rotation, height, and tilt positioning - Repetitive safe holding lock in any desired work position - Adjustable friction during positioning transitions - Supports workloads up to 300 pounds - Ideal for any workspace, project, or application Employee safety should be the highest priority for any business that employs welders.

Ergo Chief Enables Workers to Remain in Comfortable work positions** By using a motorized work positioner, employees don’t have to manipulate workpieces manually, nor do they need to bend or crouch in uncomfortable positions to complete a component of the job. Work positioners do [all the heavy lifting (and positioning)](https://ergotronix.com/equipment-to-move-heavy-objects/), which frees them from physical strain and grants more time to dedicate to the finer details of the work project. Ensuring that workers are comfortable and alert can keep the momentum going throughout the day while leading to fewer breaks and mistakes. ### **2\. Ergo Chief Increases Comfort & Accessibility for Greater Efficiency** When workers are more comfortable in their work throughout the day, they don’t become burnt out from doing the same repetitive movements for hours on end. The Ergo Chief can adjust workloads in any desired comfortable work position so that workers can complete tasks faster and with greater efficiency. By limiting the need to constantly have to manually maneuver a workpiece around, manufacturers can focus on ensuring that each work step is completed in comfort and with precision, without losing valuable production time. ### **3\. Ergo Chief Saves Time and Enables More Productive Work** Introducing a multi-axis work positioner into the manufacturing floor can help keep workers focused on their work tasks, which results in more productive work and a greater number of units completed throughout the day. While factories may have originally relied on groups of human workers to reposition a product or piece of machinery, ergonomically-conscious workplaces rely on machines. Doing so not only saves time by eliminating the need for 1-3 workers to step away from their work to move or manipulate a heavy object. As such, manufacturers can be more productive at work because they aren’t forced to take on heavy lifting when they’d otherwise be focused on completing the task in front of them. ### **4\. Ergo Chief Reduces Injuries, Strain, and Turnover Rates** Leaving the heavy lifting and manipulation to machines helps protect the manufacturing professionals on the floor. Lifting, straining, and bending into uncomfortable positions can present a significant risk to [workplace safety and employee health](https://ergotronix.com/the-benefits-of-ergonomics-at-work/). Working in an uncomfortable position or being required to lift or manipulate heavy objects can result in back injuries or other painful conditions. Depending on the severity of the condition incurred, a manufacturer might be out of work for a few weeks or indefinitely. Preventing workplace injuries and strain also reduces Workman’s Comp costs and keeps insurance rates low. ### **5\. Ergo Chief Produces a Greater Number of High-Quality Products** When manufacturing professionals can comfortably reach any required position to perform work, they’re likely going to produce higher-quality results. [When a worker is able to comfortably access](https://ergotronix.com/the-ergonomic-difference/) the work, the manufacturing company can count on the production of products made with a greater emphasis on quality. Ergonomic solutions represent the future of manufacturing. By introducing safer, more efficient equipment, manufacturing professionals can take advantage of a variety of work-wide benefits. Enhanced safety, productivity, and worker satisfaction not only means faster and more high-quality production, but also means greater worker retention, health, and dedication to the company in question.
