          What is a Work Positioner?

          In modern work environments, ergonomics and efficiency are crucial to ensure productivity and well-being. One tool that combines these is a work positioner - a mobile lifting trolley designed to facilitate material handling of various objects up to 285 kilograms, improve work processes and reduce strain on operators. What is a work positioner, and how can it make your work easier? 

          A work positioner can be described as a lifting trolley and is used to lift, position, and move lighter objects in a smooth and ergonomic manner. It is designed to facilitate material handling tasks and position objects at an optimal height and angle. With its flexibility and versatility, it can be adapted to a wide range of tasks. With a wide range of accessories, it can also be tailored to meet specific needs in various work environments. Almost all models, tools and accessories can also be customized to suit most requirements.

          The components of a Work Positioner 

          To understand how a work positioner can improve your workday, it is important to know its basic parts, each designed to deliver the best functionality, flexibility and safety.

          Mast

          The mast determines how high materials can be lifted. Therefore, the work positioner range includes various heights - from XS to L - to meet different needs. A tool is mounted on the mast, which houses a reinforced toothed belt that controls the lifting and lowering of the sledge.

          Motor and battery

          The motor and battery form the core of the work positioner’s lifting function. They determine how heavy the material can be and enable the lifting and lowering of loads at a speed of 120 mm/s.

          Handle

          The handle allows easy manoeuvring of the lift trolley. Different types of handles are available to suit different applications and grip surface requirements. 

          Control Unit

          The control unit is used to operate movements - such as lifting, lowering, tilting, or rotating - depending on the selected accessory or tool.

          Tools

          The tool used with a lifting trolley is determined depending on the load to be handled. For example, it can be a platform, a crane arm, a boom, or other options. A wide selection of tools is available to handle most types of loads. The load can always be adjusted in height, and depending on the choice of tool, it can also be tilted, rotated, or adjusted sideways.

          Legs

          The legs form the base of the lifting trolley, providing stability and accessibility. Depending on the weight and size of the load, different leg options are available, such as straight, angled, or central legs. Some of the legs can also be customized with varying lengths and widths.

          Wheels

          All work positioners are equipped with four wheels, two at the front (fixed or turning) and two at the rear. The wheels allow the trolley to be moved smoothly forwards, backwards, or sideways. 

          Brakes

          The brake is located at the rear and is used to lock the wheels to prevent unwanted movement during loading and unloading. Depending on the model and application, there is a single or central brake system. The central brake also features a directional lock for straight manoeuvring.

          Benefits of a Work Positioner

          Using a work positioner is a smart way to improve workplace ergonomics and efficiency. It becomes an indispensable tool across many industries, thanks to its combination of features. Here are some of the main benefits that make a work positioner a valuable investment

          Ergonomic working position
          Adjustable height and angle reduce strain on muscles and joints. This helps prevent back, shoulder and joint pain as well as other work-related injuries. 

          Increased efficiency 
          A better working posture leads to faster and more efficient workflows. The trolleys are highly maneuverable and with the right tools for your business, tasks can be performed more efficiently without compromising safety.

          Improved safety
          With brakes and the robust design, the risk of accidents during the lifting and positioning of heavy objects is minimized, protecting both the operator and the material. 

          Versatility
          EdmoLift offers a wide range of compact lifting trolley models that can be adapted for specific tasks and requirements.   

          Cost-effectiveness 
          By reducing the need for manual handling and minimizing injuries to both personnel and materials, a work positioner can contribute to lower long-term costs. 

          Sustainability
          Made from high-quality materials, a work positioner has a long lifespan, making it a sustainable investment for businesses. Its battery-powered operation also makes it an environmentally conscious choice. 

           

          When to use a work positioner?
