Lean Manufacturing Leader Magline Eliminates Fork Truck Excess

Standish, MI -- (SBWire) -- 07/18/2016 --Technology innovator Magline, best known for two-wheel hand trucks used in the beverage industry, has solved the heavy lifting problem in manufacturing facilities and distribution centers. Magline's LiftPlus provides an all-in-one lift, transporter, and positioner. The LiftPlus is a workforce multiplier that kicks in productivity with no need for special training or licensing. The LiftPlus was designed for ease of use, higher productivity, and to keep workers on the job and free from injuries; lifting 350 pounds easily with an all-metal frame platform and a screw-driven lift that delivers smooth precision that hydraulics or chains just cannot match. The LiftPlus was recently featured in Robotics and Automation News magazine. The feature, authored by manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler, is titled, "Market for Automated Material Handling Equipment to Reach $45 Billion by 2022."

Waiting for forklifts to move product in a manufacturing cell or materials handling warehouse is eliminated. Andrea Horner, Magline's vice president of marketing stated, "This powered product demonstrates a commitment to the manufacturing sector and those customers who requested durable, ergonomic, and quality equipment allowing safe use and transport without wasting time waiting for forklifts. The improved throughput and productivity is a direct result of time efficiencies achieved with the LiftPlus within the manufacturing cell."
