Material handling is an essential aspect of the food and beverage (F&B) industry, encompassing the movement, storage, protection, and control of products throughout the manufacturing process. Effective material handling ensures that food products are safely and efficiently transported from production to packaging, storage, and distribution.
Contrary to popular belief, safety, productivity, and efficiency are not mutually exclusive in warehouse operations. In fact, they can coexist and mutually enhance each other. But how is this achieved?
Warehouses are bustling environments, teeming with a complex array of equipment, towering stacks of products and a workforce labouring around the clock. This dynamic setting significantly heightens the risk of workplace harms and manual handling injuries.
The vacuum lifter is an excellent lifting aid that makes material handling safe, efficient and easy. But to get maximum functionality out of your vacuum lifter, it must be equipped with the right lifting tool. This not only enables you to lift your goods in the best possible way, but if you also have several different tools, you also make it possible to handle even more types of goods in your business. But how do you know which lifting tool is right for your goods?
Manual handling is a common and necessary task in warehouses and distribution centres.
