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.
Maximum productivity and safety in food production
Electric tuggers enable a single operator to safely move heavy food manufacturing equipment such as vats, ovens, racks and mixers in tight spaces.
Eliminating the need for manual handling and making safe movements a one-person task, electric tuggers help food manufacturers to increase operational efficiency and staff productivity.
Stainless steel electric tuggers are also available for hygienic environments requiring extra protection.
The benefits of electric tuggers for food production
Food manufacturers trust electric tuggers to reduce the risk of injury and improve workplace safety. Boasting an easy-to-use design, they seamlessly integrate into food production environments to drive efficiency and safety from day one.
