Safer, smarter and faster lifting

摘要

HEALTH and safety in the workplace is a vital issue for the manufacturing industry but the latest developments in crane design means manufactures are not only looking at cranes as a safety device but also as a way of increasing productivity. Recent trends in crane design indicate a move towards more ergonomic and lightweight crane systems, which allow workers to move loads safely, easily and quickly. Manufacturers are choosing to install several workstation cranes throughout the workshop instead of a single larger crane, enabling operators to work on smaller, repetitive lifting jobs as well as the heavier jobs usually undertaken by bigger cranes.
