The PartsCaddyLite® electric hand truck is a battery powered platform truck used from moving materials, part, or machinery form one location to another without having to manually carry the load or push a wheeled cart. These heavy push cart or pull cart applications can occur anywhere, from moving linen carts throughout a hotel, to moving material carts off a dock at a marina, to distributing the company coffee machine around the plant.
If these carts need constant pushing or pulling form one location to another and cause fatigue to the employee moving the load, then it is a perfect application for our battery electric cart called the PartsCaddyLite® powered cart.
Benefits
The primary benefit of using PartsCaddyLite® electric platform truck is to prevent the strains and pains associated with pushing and pulling heavy carts and equipment. These strains and pains result form overextending the body when manually moving carts from one location to another, such as a parts cart form workstation to workstation, or a mail cart throughout a building. When a PartsCaddyLite® motorized platform cart is used for these routine tasks, pains and strains are minimized which reduces workman's compensation and insurance claims. According to OSHA's recently released ergonomics standard proposal, work-related muskuloskeletal disorders (WMSD's), such as tendonitis low back pain, account for $20 billion in workers compensation costs each year and 34% of all lost workday injuries.
Applications for a PartsCaddyLite® electric hand truck generally exist in environment where women and elderly employees make up most of the work force. The PartsCaddyLite® battery powered truck enables these employees to easily handle the tasks of moving boxed and supplies that were left for an employee with more physical strength. This allows your workforce to be more productive and human resources to be less selective when hiring personnel for a position that may require some physical labor.
