Reel handling efficiency at SCA
SCA's production unit in Falkenberg, Sweden, has enhanced worker safety and efficiency by investing in six TAWI Lifting Trolleys. These ergonomic trolleys facilitate the easy handling of large rolls, reducing the risk of injury from manual lifting and improving overall workplace ergonomics.
Enhancing Ergonomics at SCA's Falkenberg Production Unit
At the SCA production unit in Falkenberg, Sweden, workers manage numerous large and bulky rolls daily. These rolls are picked from pallets and transported to machines where they are lifted and mounted. The process requires horizontal and vertical handling, but thanks to a recent investment in six new TAWI Lifting Trolleys, SCA workers can now efficiently perform these tasks.
Key Benefits of the TAWI Lifting Trolleys
The acquisition of these trolleys marks a significant advancement in workplace ergonomics, significantly reducing the risk of long-term injuries associated with repetitive manual lifting. With the new trolleys, workers can:
- Easily pick up rolls from pallets or racks.
- Rotate and transport rolls effortlessly.
- Mount rolls securely onto the machine shaft.
The trolleys' ergonomic design features a comfortable handle, making them easy to manoeuvre. Workers appreciate the ease of rolling and transporting the trolleys, which adds to their overall efficiency.
