The Importance of Lifting Equipment in Factories Today

Abstract

Provision of lifting equipment to handle materials efficiently and with minimum physical effort must be one of the most important considerations in industry today. On the one hand there is the growing pressure on management from workers, their trade unions and safety representatives, to provide lifting equipment to ease their daily tasks; on the other an increasing awareness of the greater efficiency and reduced costs that can be obtained by employing modern mechanical handling equipment of all capacities.
