Essentra Components Replaces Workers With The Press Of A Lift Safe Button
Dailycsr.com – 17 August 2015 – Lift Safe is a specialist tool which facilitates the handling of heavy materials whereby making the shifting of chemical containers a much easy task for the Essentra Components which manufactures filters at the “Tyne and Wear factory”. The company of Essentra Components is a well known manufacturing and distributing agency to its customers, which specialises in a “broad range” of filters that are made of plastic or fibres. The customer group of the company is spread out in “a wide variety of markets” all over the world.
 
However, to cut the long story short, Essentra Components faced a problem while attending to its customer in Jarrow wherein the company had to shift a twenty five litre chemical containers. A lifter to ease the work was a much needed solution as every time the exchanging container while replacement whereby the older one had to be removed and in its place the new one had to be installed. Before the Lift Safe came into the picture, the replacement process used to be carried out manually, which indeed was an awkward, unsafe and heavy work. The task invariably put the workers under the risk of handling such multitude of heavy containers.  
 
Likewise, the purchase of Lift Safe has saved the situation for Essentra Components for the compact lifter makes the operation a very “simple manoeuvre”. All the workers need to do is simple position the containers on the lift and “press a button” which elevates the platform carrying twenty five litre container and slides the same from the lifting platform into its position.
 
The compact Lift Safe is manufactured in a manner that allows easy handling of goods as the lifting platform has a roller fitted at its front. Consequently, Essentra Components can effortlessly slide its container on top of it and securely transport thereof. The present shifting process involving compact Lift Safe has proven to be “much more productive and, more importantly, safer”. Moreover, the clever design of the lifter is a strongly built yet a lightweight device which is capable of handling a weight limit of two hundred twenty five kilos along with the maximum object height of three metres. Although, the Lift Safe products are “much more compact” in comparison to “standard stacker trucks” that are available in the market, they have proven themselves to be “ideal” for using in any “restricted spaces.
 
The clients can even opt for customised designs of the Lift Safe as they can be supplied “with many different attachments”. The incorporation of Lift Safe has earned Essentra “peace mind”, for the company has no longer to worry about the risks that the workers had undergo while manually conducting the shifting work. Moreover, the compact lifter has enabled the company to remove the involvement of extra worker, their absence issues along with the cost and time lost in treating an injured worker have all been removed from the equation. In fact, Essentra doesn’t even have to employ its workers to perform “below their optimal level of productivity” as it is complying with the norms of the health and safety of its staffs.
