During the past few years shoppers have transitioned away from “brick and mortar” to online retailers. With this shift has come a demand for online stores to ramp up their capabilities for obtaining, storing, packing, and shipping the goods to customers, with the expectation that the product is received in 1-2 days!
Part of the solution has been the expansion of the industrial warehousing market including more automation, but there is also a demand for more human involvement including manual picking, packing, and shipping. The people that work in these environments are subjected to long hours on their feet doing manual labor. To minimize the risk for fatigue, musculoskeletal disorders (such as back pain, joint pain, tendonitis, etc.), injuries requiring time off work, loss of job satisfaction and burnout, companies are searching for ways to make ergonomic modifications to the workplace.
LTW Ergonomic Solutions has come to the rescue with our patented products including standard and custom adjustable-height platform configurations, adjustable height picking carts, adjustable-height workstations and tables to name just a few.
- Standard and custom configured Adjustable-height Platforms: When you need to move the operator to the work space; examples include assembly lines, packing stations, order fulfillment stations.
- Picking Carts: Adjustable-height to reduce the need of the picker to use awkward positions and lift heavy objects while collecting an order and/or transporting items. See other cart modifications here.
- Adjustable-height Workstations and Tables: When you need to move the workstation to the worker; examples include single workstations that are used by multiple users that are of different heights.
