Standish, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/15/2012 -- Manufacturing journalist Thomas R. Cutler recently contributed a feature article regarding solutions benefiting Magline clients with safety solutions. The article titled, “Safety Solutions Drive Automation and Increased Sales” appears in the current issue of AutomationMedia.com.

Recently a client of Magline, DS Waters, tested the Trayless Bottled Water Truck for several months on sales routes, then performed some quantitative and endurance testing. Measurements included the amount of energy it took to make small deliveries on a residential route, and found that this hand truck used nine percent less energy than making the same deliveries by hand. Next the company began introducing the new hand truck on select routes in Southern California.

Ultimately the value in these ergonomic material handling automation solutions is to reduce the risk of pain and injury, eliminating hazardous movement, increase efficiency, increase sales, and implement the most appropriate automation and safety solutions.
