Despite its importance, the issue of health and safety continues to divide opinion in the contemporary workplace. Even the development of the so-called ‘myth buster’ panel in the UK has done little to bridge this divide, as there remain a number of individuals who continue to question frivolous and seemingly unnecessary rules that are created in the name of safety.
This should not distract business owners from the importance of health and safety, however, or undermine the need for being proactive when implementing changes. Innovation and acceptance are central to the cultivation of safe and compliant workspaces, and no single development embodies this better than the recently launched Tiger EasyRoller.
The Tiger EasyRoller: A Ground-breaking Innovation
Designed by European Handling Equipment, the Tiger EasyRoller is a state of the art pallet truck that has a lifting capacity of 2500 kg. It offers numerous benefits to operators, with one of the most prominent being its ease of use and manoeuvrability. More specifically, users can gain leverage from the handle and subsequently transfer power to the main steer wheels quickly and efficiently. The process of gaining leverage also requires minimal physical effort, so operators can push down on the handle without being forced to over-exert themselves.
Once it is loaded with stock, the Tiger EasyRoller is also exceptionally easy to steer. This is thanks primarily to a unique and innovative foot pedal, which is extremely responsive to human touch. On a similar note, the vehicle also responds to a direct mechanical drive system which reduces the risk of toppling and makes it less likely that operators will lose control while in motion. This system is used instead of a conventional friction drive, and its integration highlights the level of innovation that has gone into the design process.
A Safe and Worthwhile Innovation
The improved functionality and handling aspects of the Tiger EasyRoller distinguish is a pivotal innovation in the marketplace. It also offers huge safety benefits for both business owners and employees alike, as the latter can operate the truck easily and efficiently even when they are transporting heavy loads.
With the potential to reduce accidents, adapt to various working environments and fulfil the requirements of standard pallet trucks, the Tiger EasyRoller is clearly capable of revolutionising warehouse procedures in the UK and across the continent. Most importantly of all, it is a vehicle that has been designed with the safety of employees in mind and a clear emphasis on minimising risk in a commercial warehouse setting.
