Ergonomic handling solutions for all industries
The Covid pandemic has brought new challenges to the logistics industry . Due to the dramatically increasing number of online orders and growth of e-commerce , and the pressures associated with staff health and safety , goods must now be picked more safely and efficiently than ever before .
TAWI ’ s Mobile Order Picker ( MOP ) allows one person to do the job of two , while protecting them from injuries caused by lifting heavy objects . This increases productivity and health and safety levels at the same time . The MOP is compatible with any forklift or pallet jack , making it a highly versatile piece of equipment . With its adjustable tower height , operators can reach into pallet racks and other low headroom spaces giving them the ability to access otherwise hard to reach areas .
Pete Wood , Key Account Manager for Logistics & Airports explains , “ The growing concern to many companies is finding that balance between providing manual handling aids for their operators and keeping up levels of productivity , and TAWI ’ s Mobile Order Picker does just that . The MOP removes 100 % of the weight of the products that the operators must currently lift , and the ergonomic and user-friendly controls allow the operator to move at speed and meet their daily objectives .”
