Back pain, who does not know it. Complaints in the musculoskeletal system are stressful, protracted and above all painful. The common disease occurs with poor posture, heavy work and insufficient ergonomic work equipment. Especially in the logistics industry, back disease is a well-known problem.
Due to the manual handling involved in pallet strapping and frequent repetitive motion, employees in logistics can quickly suffer from back pain.
A problem that ErgoStrap Inc., based in Waukesha, Wisconsin, has recognized and solved. With the mobile and ergonomic ErgoStrap strapping system, packaged goods are ergonomically and safely strapped on pallets. Without bending over and without having to walk around the pallet. This is proven to avoid backache.
In the nearly 25-year history of ErgoStrap and their Germany-based parent company ErgoPack, they have delivered over 20,000 machines to more than 60 countries. “ We have by far not yet reached the full potential.
We want an ErgoStrap to be used in every warehouse and shipping hall in the world,” says Managing Director Witali Neumann.
However, ErgoStrap not only focuses on the health factor, but also fully covers the topic of process reliability and efficiency.
ErgoStrap guarantees safe strapping for both the user and the packaged goods. This is because with ErgoStrap, the user remains standing upright and is thus easily recognized by passing forklift traffic. In addition, unlike with manual strapping, the strap cannot twist with ErgoStrap.
A possible loss of tearing force of up to 30% is thus eliminated. “In addition to the ergonomic advantages, the improved efficiency our customers experience is unrivaled in the market. Our systems improve strapping efficiency by a minimum of 50-60% throughout our industry”, knows Jason Rowe, Vice President of Sales.
For inquisitive companies, ErgoStrap offers an exceptionally accommodating opportunity to experience their systems firsthand. All interested parties are cordially invited to a live demonstration of ErgoStrap’s one-of-a-kind strapping solution.
The system will be showcased directly at the potential customer’s warehouse, using their own packaging. This gives attendees a clear and practical insight into how easily the system can be integrated into their existing workflows.
