Safety Measures You Can Follow When Operating Our Platform Trolleys
Even though our platform trolleys are designed to prioritise your safety when operating them, there are some additional measures that you can follow to further maintain safety in your workplace. For example, research demonstrates that pushing rather than pulling trolleys reduces your risk of harm. This is because you can run over your own feet when pulling trolleys, and pulling while walking backwards can cause hazards like tripping and falling. Although these techniques might be unavoidable in some situations, it is important to follow appropriate safety measures where possible in order to protect yourself and your employees.
Furthermore, try to avoid using industrial trolleys on unstable and uneven surfaces like steep slopes and stairs. Since these can lead to injuries such as back injuries, sprains and damage to ligaments, nerve joints and bones, it is vital that you always operate platform trolleys on appropriate surfaces. Moreover, it is a good idea to examine your workplace’s floor conditions on a regular basis, and be aware of ramps and slopes that may require mechanical assistance to help you move heavy equipment.
