The answer isn’t manual handling (or a forklift)
The movement of heavy-wheeled loads such as stillages and hoppers often relies on a combination of manual handling and lifting equipment.
For loads moved manually, multiple production operatives are often required to move heavy loads, presenting the risk of injuries and accidents, and reducing productivity.
Likewise, relying on lifting equipment such as side loaders and forklifts in internal processes increases risk and results in downtime in waiting for a licensed driver to become available.
