CRANES AND HOISTS: HOW THEY CAN IMPROVE SAFETY AND LOWER OVERALL COSTS
When it comes to moving heavy loads throughout your industrial space, there are tons of different options to choose from.
From hand trucks to forklifts, many business owners find themselves leaning towards on-floor equipment that can be obstructive in certain areas. Alternatively, there are several benefits of overhead cranes and hoists that are worth considering.
At DACO, we work hard to ensure that our customers have the best equipment for their commercial facilities. If you’re interested in improving employee safety and lowering production costs, it might be time to start thinking about making the switch to an overhead transport system.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OVERHEAD CRANES AND HOISTS?
In many industrial warehouses and facilities, vertical space is grossly underused. That’s why it makes the ideal option for product and material load transportation.
Rather than littering the aisles of your workspace with employees and equipment used to retrieve loads, you can use overhead cranes and hoists to lift and move these items in the air space of your facility.
Not only does this allow you to maintain open aisles within your warehouse, but it also improves productivity and works well with higher storage and shelving options.
There are several different ways of using cranes and hoists, such as:
- Warehousing and logistics needs
- Moving unfinished products through the assembly process
- Transporting manufactured items onto railcars or trailers
- Managing storage needs
HOW CAN CRANES AND HOISTS IMPROVE WAREHOUSE SAFETY?
Since overhead cranes and hoists are used in empty areas of air space, you will be at less risk of the dangerous incidents that are often seen when using forklifts and other ground equipment.
At DACO, we understand that forklifts, especially, can be a problematic piece of machinery for many business owners. They have been known to lead to improper stacking that results in fallen items, and can easily hit pallet racking beams, other machinery, walls, and, most disastrously, personnel.
HOW DO OVERHEAD CRANES AND HOISTS LOWER BUSINESS COSTS?
Have you been searching for a simple way of reducing industrial costs and improving workplace productivity? Cranes and hoists might be an ideal solution!
These pieces of machinery not only provide more efficient movement of heavy loads from one area to the next, but they also allow better employee access to any materials and products being stored at ground level.
Employees will be able to complete jobs quicker, which will improve overall operations and reduce labor costs.
