Reduce Risk, Maximise Safety
Make manual handling a thing of the past with manual handling solutions designed to maximise safety.
The manual handling solution every safety professional needs…
565,000 workers sustained a non-fatal injury according to the Labour Force Survey in 2021/22. Out of this number, 477,000 workers suffered from work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Musculoskeletal disorders and injuries are often caused by manually pushing, pulling or lifting heavy loads, leading many HSE Managers to look for safer manual handling solutions...
The cost of injuries from manual handling in the workplace is estimated to be in the £billions. (hse.gov.uk).
Safety Managers need effective and simple manual handling solutions to create a safe working environment so employees feel safe and empowered.
The challenges of workplace safety
The manual movement of goods, equipment and products is used relied on across a range of industries from retail to pharmaceutical. But the pushing, pulling and lifting of loads can result in the risk of injury. Staff are at the greatest risk of injury when:
- Tasks are repetitive
- Operations exceed an employee’s abilities (i.e., weight being moved)
- The layout of tasks is awkward
- Employees have existing injuries

The safety benefits of electric tugs
Eliminate manual handling
Electric tugs eliminate the need for staff to manually handle awkward, heavy loads, and provide all the power needed to safely push and pull loads.
Providing staff the right tools
Moving large, heavy and awkward loads takes its toll on staff. With the right manual handling solution, boost safety and maximise productivity.
Increase productivity
Moving heavy loads by hand can often require the combined effort of multiple people, slowing operations down. An electric tug provides all the power for a single operator to safely move the heaviest loads.
