White Paper

Carts and mobile equipment are used in nearly every industry. And yet wheeled equipment is often taken for granted and selecting the right designs, including wheels and casters, is often overlooked.

This is particularly surprising given that successfully addressing the issues involved in pushing or pulling tasks results in measurable bottom-line improvements. Darcor’s White Paper, The Ergonomics of Manual Material Handling provides an overview of these issues, including ergonomics; cart, wheel, and caster design; and a variety of operating environment factors.

Health and safety issues are perhaps the most talked about costs and consequences related to ergonomics, yet ergonomics historically grew from a concern for efficiency and quality improvements. Today, business and social forces have driven the science to encompass a larger set of concerns, including productivity, quality, and health and safety. Each of these work factors has an associated cost, and, alone or together, they may carry a large and frequently hidden price tag for your company.

All of these issues are addressed in The Ergonomics of Manual Material Handling pdf.
