Running a business can mean having a lot of expenses, one of those being equipment. While costly equipment is often necessary, it shouldn’t keep on costing you. Having a machine break down can lead to not only expensive repairs, but the resulting downtime means a loss of productivity as well. It’s a no-win situation.

For years, lift trucks have helped improve efficiency because of their ability to lift heavy loads. While these machines did the back-breaking work for humans, they also helped to increase speed and productivity. They became an invaluable extension of the workers who used them. Now, these same lift trucks are becoming even more valuable to companies, due to their ability to store and report computerized data over long distances, a process referred to as telematics.

For those of us who work in manufacturing, we already know how much the industry has changed from what was ‘traditional’ factory work. But, it’s often hard to convey those changes, and dispel many myths, about today’s manufacturing operations.

Is your workplace safe? More specifically, since we specialize in providing quality engineered below-the-hook lifting devices for all industries at Hunter Lift, we need to ask this question: Are you properly considering and following safety measures before lifting? As we reported in a blog post earlier this year, a lot of workplace injuries are the result of improper lifting, and these injuries can be prevented.

The manufacturing industry has gotten a reputation for being dirty, dark, and noisy. A place full of old-timers working on old machines. An industry past its prime and going nowhere. As we can attest, that is not even close to the truth. Today’s manufacturing industry uses state of the art equipment in advanced facilities. It is a 21st century industry looking for qualified workers.
