3 Pieces of Equipment to Reduce Fatigue and Increase Productivity

The following types of equipment can be utilized by a variety of applications to reduce worker fatigue, increase productivity, and enhance safety:

1. Pallet Trucks

If your operation frequently handles and transports palletized goods, you likely know how valuable a high-quality pallet truck can be. These units make it easy for an operator to lift, transport, and place a pallet even if it contains heavy products. This saves the hassle of waiting for a forklift operator to transport a pallet and eliminates the need to transport individual items on a cart. While all pallet jacks perform the same function, a high-quality unit will further reduce operator strain and increase handling capabilities, making your operation safer and more productive.

2. Stock Carts

When it comes to order fulfillment and industrial manufacturing, workers need to transport many smaller items and products throughout the day. Whether you need a platform truck for large materials, a stock cart for small consumer products, or a combination of carts to carry every type of item you handle, the right stock cart will allow your workers to get more done in less time while reducing fatigue.

3. Rubber Mats

If your operation requires several employees to stand in one location for a prolonged duration, it is worth investing in quality rubber mats for their workstations. Standing on a hard surface for several hours without support can drastically increase worker fatigue and lead to foot/leg pain, reducing productivity and increasing the risk of accidents. A quality rubber mat will minimize fatigue on a worker’s feet and legs, allowing them to remain comfortable, productive, and alert throughout their shift.
