Workplace injuries remain a constant concern for the construction industry, and recent UK Health and Safety Executive figures underline the risks, manual handling is responsible for around 17% of all workplace injuries in the sector. As sites get busier and materials get heavier, smarter lifting solutions become not just useful, but essential.
Workplace injuries remain a constant concern for the construction industry, and recent UK Health and Safety Executive figures underline the risks, manual handling is responsible for around 17% of all workplace injuries in the sector. As sites get busier and materials get heavier, smarter lifting solutions become not just useful, but essential.
The Ergomover electric trolley is one such solution, capable of a wide range of material moving and material handling tasks, as you can see in the video moving plasterboard across a busy site.
Instead of relying on multiple workers to manually lift and carry each board, the Ergomover Wireless system allows a single operator to safely receive and store up to 42 boards in an upright position, ready for installation.
Boards remain securely on the ErgoLoader until needed, which frees up floor space, keeps an organised and tidy site, and avoids unnecessary repeat movements.
With wireless remote steering and elevation, operators can move heavy loads up to 1,500kg while standing safely clear of the action, reducing physical strain and minimising risk.
Manoeuvrability is excellent, even through spaces as narrow as 700mm, thanks to compact design and powered wheels. On sites where space is limited and workflows are rapid, this efficiency helps keep schedules moving and injury risk low.
Effective lifting is about safe and smart lifting, where people and materials are protected every step of the way.
