Moving carts, materials, and machinery can be done simply and smoothly using the PartsCaddy battery powered cart. The powered cart can solve a variety of your material handling applications in a variety of work places, including hotels, marinas, warehouses, and hospitals.
If your carts need constant pushing or pulling from one location to another and often cause fatigue to employees that move the heavy loads, then the PartsCaddy cart can be a perfect application for your business.
Benefits for Powered Carts
Using PartsCaddy battery powered carts is extremely beneficial because it prevents strains and pains often associated with pushing and pulling heavy equipment. These injuries result from overexerting the body when manually moving carts from one location to another, such as pushing parts carts from workstation to workstation, or pulling mail carts throughout an office. When the powered PartsCaddy is used for these routine tasks, strain is minimized, which reduces workers' compensation and insurance claims. Work-related musculoskeletal disorders, such as lower back pain and tendinitis, account for $20 billion in workers' compensation costs each year and over one-third of all lost workday injuries, according to OSHA.
Women and elderly employees generally make up a large portion of the workforce in places where applications for the PartsCaddy battery powered cart exist. The powered PartsCaddy enables these employees to easily move boxes and supplies without risking their health, allowing your workforce to be more productive and human resources to be more open-minded when hiring employees for positions that require some physical labor.
