Ergonomic Material Handling Equipment

Put the work at the right height before a back pays for it.

Lift tables and tilters raise, lower and tilt goods — and sometimes people — so work sits at a suitable height for the operator instead of at the floor. Conveyability supplies ergonomic equipment in a vast array of configurations, from floor-mounted to ceiling-mounted systems, built to suit highly specialized industrial processes.

Re-position work at a suitable height for operators.

Pallet handling, vehicle loading and work positioning.

Floor-mounted through ceiling-mounted configurations.

Three Jobs Ergonomic Equipment Does Every Day

The common uses, straight from the floor.

Pallet handling

Lifts and tilters bring pallet loads to working height, so building and breaking down pallets stops being a bend-and-lift marathon.

Vehicle loading

Lifts bridge the height difference between floor, dock and truck so loads move level instead of being muscled.

Work positioning

Raising and tilting the workpiece to the operator turns awkward assembly and finishing tasks into arm’s-reach work.

Medical expenses and lost wages are the real line item.

Injury Costs Don’t Show Up on the Equipment Quote.

Ergonomic devices help eliminate costs related to medical expenses and lost wages due to worker injury. Set against what one recordable back injury costs, a lift table is one of the quietest paybacks in material handling.

From the Floor to the Ceiling.

Not every load can be met by a platform. Overhead rail systems, jib cranes, balancers, hoists and vacuum lifts carry weight through the air above the workstation — floor-mounted or ceiling-mounted, matched to the process.

“Your men are very good and did a lot of tweaking we didn’t know we needed. When things slow down here later this spring let’s try to connect. We may re-align workflow and it would be good to see what you think. I appreciate you guys jumping for us with our erratic planning and communicating.”

Conveyability: Your First Call When the Job Is Wearing Out the People.

The right height, the right reach, the right assist.

One team of top-tier problem solvers.

Start with what failed and what production is experiencing — not just the replacement part.

Speed, responsiveness and lead-time flexibility.

Service has to fit the urgency, shutdown window and reality of the operating plant.

Value engineering inside the real budget.

Repair what is worth repairing, modify what is causing the problem and upgrade only where the system has truly outgrown the old answer.

Custom plans built around the plant you have.

Legacy equipment, multiple manufacturers and incomplete drawings are normal inputs.

No passing the buck when the interfaces get messy.

Mechanical, controls, fabrication, installation and future support stay connected through one team.

Need to Get In Touch Now? Give Us a Call.

No hard sell, just experts that know their stuff.

Tell us what is failing, what the plant has already tried and how the issue affects production. We’ll help you figure out the most useful next step.

Ergonomic Equipment FAQs

What it prevents, what exists and how to justify it.

What does ergonomic equipment actually prevent?

Injuries that come from working at the wrong height — the lifting, bending and reaching that add up. Correctly re-positioning work at a suitable height for operators is the core function.

What types are available?

Lift tables, scissor lifts, hydraulic lifts, vacuum lifts and hoists, overhead rail systems, jib cranes, balancers and intelligent assisted devices — floor-mounted through ceiling-mounted.

Can equipment be built for an unusual process?

Yes. Configurations can be built to suit highly specialized industrial processes; the task defines the device.

Where does this equipment typically go to work?

Pallet handling, vehicle loading and work positioning are the most common uses.

How do we justify the spend?

Against the costs the equipment eliminates — medical expenses and lost wages from worker injury, plus the throughput a workable station height quietly adds.

Can lifts integrate with our conveyor lines?

Yes. Positioning equipment gets designed into the surrounding flow, which is exactly what an integrator is for.
