Moving heavy objects can put a lot of strain on the body. So much so, that lifting, pushing, pulling or bending are some of the most common causes of workplace injuries. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, in FY 21/22 they accounted for 24% of workplace injuries and 66% of these required time off work, while 31% of cases received workers’ compensation. It’s easy to see that taking steps to prevent these incidents can save your business a lot of lost productivity, time and money.
EHI Australia has developed a flexible and low-maintenance solution that can eliminate much of the handling required when sorting, moving, loading or unloading cargo. Their Easyroll steel concertina-style conveyor makes transporting goods easy and comes with some business-savvy benefits
Reduced Labour Costs
It cuts down the number of workers needed for loading and unloading. This also lowers the risk of workplace injuries, saving your business potential compensation claims and medical expenses.
Increased Productivity
It allows for continuous operation with minimal manual intervention, speeding up the movement of goods and boosting your overall productivity.
Flexibility and Versatility
Easily expandable and retractable, it can be used for different applications across industries like warehousing and manufacturing. You can integrate it with other systems for a complete material handling solution.
Increased Efficiency
Its flexibility means you can maximise available space and streamline sorting and distribution, ensuring timely deliveries and smoother operations.
Cost Effective
With lower initial investment and minimal maintenance, it gives you a long-term, cost-effective alternative to automated systems.
“Another benefit of the Easyroll conveyor is if space is tight, it can be easily folded and stored away. And when you need it quickly you can easily roll out one end to the back of a truck, for instant use,” says Johnny Syal, APAC Sales Manager of EHI. “It’s expandable to 3.5 metres and because it’s mobile and not attached to the ground, it can be used anywhere.”
