MezzLight the Model Solution to Speed Up Efficiency and Reduce Strain on Workforce for Railway Models
A global market leader of model railway accessories manufactured chose Penny Engineering for their Goods Lift. They reached out to Penny Engineering as they had identified an opportunity to speed up efficiency and to reduce the physical strain on its employees.
The MezzLight’s compact and self-contained design has minimal impact on the footprint of the building, and its safety features such as interlocked doors and hold-to-run operation encourage the prevention of injury.
The project has been an excellent example of how a goods lift can be an effective solution to manually handling boxes of goods between floors and thus reducing the risk of injury to a workforce.
“Statistics show that 35% of all work-related illnesses are musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). An MSD can affect muscles, joints and tendons in all parts of the body, they are often connected to incorrect manual handling. That equates to over 469,000 workers suffering from work-related MSDs in 2017/18 and over 6.6 million working days lost. Penny Engineering design, manufacture, install and maintain specialist lifting equipment to remove any requirement of manual handling."
Richard Short, Sales Director of Penny Engineering tells us.
Speeding up operations
Essentially they had a member of staff making countless trips up and down stairs with arms full of boxes. It was clear early on that a MezzLight with a bespoke platform size to accommodate their trolley would speed up their operation and take away the physical strain on their team.
