What are Portable Ergonomic Conveyor Systems?
Operators can achieve greater throughput with less fatigue and muscle strain because of optimal positioning to the box wall. Workers stand on the operator platform and are able to access controls, drive and steer. With use of hydraulic power, an operator controls the vertical height of the platform (up to 26" from the floor) in order to safely be positioned to the product being unloaded. While standing on the platform, a worker grasps the rotary handle which allows the pivoting conveyor to be easily guided left and right. The pivoting conveyor can be positioned from 6” up to 5’8” from the floor. This maneuverability enables the operator to position the conveyor near the product, significantly reducing the risk of injury from repetitive lifting, twisting, carrying and overhead reaching.
Why Portable Ergonomic Conveyor Systems?
With proven productivity gains that not only reduce unload time, but also reduce or eliminate demurrage charges, standby charges and drop trailer charges, the Destuff-it™ can also reduce the number of doors needed for the unload operation with more trailer turns per door. The robust construction of each Destuff-it™ make it an ideal unloader for multi-shift operations.
In loading mode, the ergonomic benefits of the Restuff-it™ are realized by using the operator platform to lift the worker to the proper position relative to the box wall. In addition to this ergonomic benefit, by increasing the accessibility to the top of the container, many users also realize an increase in cube utilization.
