At parcel carrier terminals there is always manual handling of parcels at some point. Manual handling is often the only alternative when loading and unloading containers or trailers, sorting parcels between pallets, cages and conveyors.
In this type of operation manual handling is typically high tempo in work postures that often cause injuries, if not performed with some lifting aid.
Keeping in mind the weight of parcels can often be around 40 kg, manual handling affects your body. Repetitive strain injuries and severe injury to, for example, spine and shoulders is common. The result is what you don’t want - high sick absence, low productivity and dissatisfied workers.
Vaculex® has developed and implemented lifting technology to solve the manual handling problems at parcel carrier terminals. The results are ergonomic vacuum lifting solutions that potentially increase productivity while still minimizing the risk for repetitive strain injuries and other injuries to, for example, the spine.
Integrating Vaculex® ergonomic lifting equipment into the existing handling system is easy. In cases where there is limited space such as low head room, narrow passages and confined areas, Vaculex® has a flexible solution.
