The cost of manual handling in food manufacturing

Within food manufacturing and processing, the movement of heavy equipment is often done by hand, with heavier loads requiring multiple production operatives to move. The manual movement of food production equipment results in the risk of injury, musculoskeletal disorders and staff fatigue.

With manufacturers trying to balance operational efficiency with workplace safety, many food manufacturers are looking for safer material handling equipment to help them increase production, improve safety and boost productivity.
