| The word "ergonomics " comes from the Greek words "ergon" meaning work;
and "nomoi" meaning natural laws (or so our high school Greek teacher told
us!!)
Companies are constantly looking for methods of improving both safety and
productivity in their operations.
One way to do that is to adjust the workplace to the worker--- rather than
asking each different worker to adjust to the workplace.
That's the industrial meaning of the word ergonomics.
Materials Handling Equipment Company can help you improve safety and
productivity through better ergonomics in three key areas:
Lift assist devices --- such as lift tables, stackers, hoists and
manipulators
Ergonomically designed work stations
Industrial seating
The leader in lift assist devices is Southworth Corporation, a leading
supplier of industrial lift tables, scissors lifts, tilters, and rotators. The Big Joe
line of economical electric lift stackers is another source of ergonomic
"back savers".
MHECO represents several lines of ergonomic, adjustable work stations and
accessories; and ergonomic seating.
Email us below to request more information on these and other ergonomic
