PowerHandlers improve the both the safety and efficiency of an operation by putting the capability to move heavy loads directly into the hands and control of the operator. He doesn't have to wait for the assitance of other workers to manually move loads, he doesn't have to wait for a forklift or other dedicated materials handling machine and its operator to arrive and he isn't nearly as tempted to try and move the load himself, risking injury. By providing him the correct model of PowerHandler, he has at his immediate disposal an extremely compact and easy to maneuver device that does the work for him - quickly and safely.

Many workplace injuries occur despite the existence of tools and procedures to prevent them. The problem, as every plant safety officer can attest, is that often times the workers do not consistently use them.
