Eliminate Lifting Injuries

In Construction or Industry, someone has to take out the trash. How that’s done can determine if you’ll have injuries or not. We prefer the “not” end of that scale, and we are here to help.

Lifting a bag out of a garbage can has the weight of the bag and the trash to be lifted. Then we have to add in the vacuum associated. It can become a significant problem. In 2020, let’s not forget that many of us were sitting at home, injuries from stress movements to back, sprains and tears affected 394,750 workers and employers. The data doesn’t tell me how many of those were trash related, but the overall problem is real. Now that we are out of covid shutdowns, it’s probably fair to assume that 500,000 stress injuries is the real number. With the average loss work time being 12 days, that’s 6 million lost days of work. So how do Seattle Tower Crane help eliminate some of those lost days?

We have a series of forklift tipping attachments. If you work has a forklift, then you can mechanize the removal of trash. If it’s a common trash bin you want to toss in the dumpster, we have a mechanical only option. If you wanted to get a covered plastic trash bin rated at 600 liters with castors on it, you can buy those for a few hundred dollars. Our forklift hydraulic dumping device would then allow you to transfer it into a larger dumpster outside without the risk of physical injury. When you consider the cost of one of those 12 day losses at any time in your career, you’ll save yourself thousands of dollars with the implementation of one of our trash dumping devices being set up on your forklift.

This way everyone can sleep just a bit better both physically, and emotionally in caring for one another.
