Caljan Rite-Hite Puts Safety First
Caljan Rite-Hite announces a moveable platform extension for its unique SAFEtrack telescopic boom conveyor Fully complying with BS EN 619 2002, a safety standard that calls for all machinery used in the workplace to be guarded to prevent operator injury, SAFEtrack boom conveyors are fully under-guarded. The new ManRider platform further improves operator safety and efficiency.
In use the operator positions the platform at their most comfortable working height in relation to the conveyor and the load face. As the conveyor is moved around the load face the working height is maintained. This means easier manual handling - which in turn reduces worker fatigue and stress and improves productivity. Product damage is also reduced as the operator does not need to climb on the load to reach any part of the consignment. As the platform can be raised and lowered to suit all loading/unloading heights and extended to the full length of the trailer it provides excellent ergonomic working conditions for operators. This has been shown to decrease loading/unloading time by up to 50%!
The SAFEtrack conveyor is of a modular design, making it suitable for most applications. The ManRider platform will increase warehouse efficiency at the same time as improving operator conditions.
»The ManRider is a very popular product. We have seen significant interest from many industries. As deliveries come in all shapes, sizes and weights, this product will help companies be more efficient when loading and unloading due to its unique design and numerous safety features« says Mike Hilton, UK Managing Director, Caljan Rite-Hite
