Companies report about 95,000 injuries related to forklift accidents each year, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Getting on and off the forklift is a risky proposition for people who operate semi-automatic stretch wrappers. One-third of these forklift-related accidents occur when operators mount and dismount their forklifts, resulting in torn shoulders, concussions, sprained ankles and even broken bones.<\/p>\n

\n

There\u2019s also another risk involving ergonomics of manually operating a machine \u2013 reaching, stretching, pulling, etc. All of this adds up to what\u2019s commonly known as the \u201crun-around.\u201d<\/p>\n

The best way to manage these risks is to avoid them altogether.<\/p>\n

The most efficient stretch wrappers in the semi-automatic class have added Simple Automation \u2013 the ability for the stretch wrapper to catch the film at the end of the wrap cycle and start the wrap cycle with a lanyard switch or remote control device that the operator can activate without dismounting the forklift.<\/p>\n

Not only does Simple Automation keep the operator on the forklift and eliminate the need to physically operate the stretch wrapper, it improves safety. Plus, you\u2019ll see a productivity bonus of two minutes of labor saved per load. An average customer can save up to $50,000 in labor cost during the first five years of ownership.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a no-brainer to have machines \u2013 especially inexpensive ones \u2013 do the same work that people can.<\/p>\n
