Better for your back: Ergonomic lifting aids in the food industry

8 April 2024

Back pain is often referred to as a “widespread worker’s disease”. According to the “statista” portal, more than 30 percent of adults suffer from “back”. Employees in the processing industry, e.g. in the food industry, are particularly affected by constant standing, heavy lifting and carrying, and frequent bending. Stress caused by monotonous body movements, lifting too heavy or incorrect posture are one of the most common causes of back pain in industrial workplaces.

In order to sustainably protect backs and joints in production, a redesign of the working environment is necessary. The workplace must be ergonomically designed. Modern lifting aids provide effective relief for the back during heavy work. Health experts are calling for heavy lifting and carrying to be completely banned from everyday work.

Don’t carry it out on the backs of your employees

Practical lifting aids such as tilting devices or swing loaders enable heavy loads to be moved effortlessly. You protect your employees from injuries and take preventative measures. With precise control and a wide range of possible uses, lifting aids are the answer to the physical challenges in food production. Hard work literally no longer falls on the backs of your employees.
