Seegrid Automated Tugger Addresses Safety Concerns

 

Pittsburgh, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/25/2014 -- In the whitepaper "Forklift-Free: Driving Safety and Profitability” Chad Kellis, Major Account Manager for Torrance, Inc. noted “American Packaging was experiencing safety concerns in a present application, which was pulling/pushing, by two associates, heavy cylinder carts to the printing presses. An automated tugger was the ideal solution for addressing the safety challenges the company was facing. The percentage of decreased safety incidents since the automated tow tractor was implemented is dramatic. Powered industrial truck incidents decreased by 94%.”

The whitepaper includes an intensive thought-provoking analysis and objective data about employee injuries and deaths, cost burdens associated with forklift accidents and citations. There is also information about high labor wages, expensive training programs, and scarce labor availability and manufacturers' unsaleable rates. The information included examines lean alternative for manned forklift transport as part of continuous process improvement strategies.
