Lift’n Buddy talks with Material Handling Wholesaler about back injury prevention.

June 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Fargo, ND -- 06/05/2012 – Material Handling Wholesaler contributing writer Mary Glindinning recently spoke with the team at Lift’n Buddy to discuss how their mobile lifting device prevents workforce injury and how different companies utilize the Lift’n Buddy.  
“We have an agricultural company use it to replace sprayer motors in the field,” says James Dravitz, director of operations. “Lifting the 200-pound motors previously took two people and now only requires one. That’s an immediate savings to the bottom line of the company.”
There are other uses for the Lift’n Buddy.  “Think of the range of employees who work in hotel bars and banquet departments, lifting beer kegs, boxes of beef, and beverages to refill the vending machine, and you can get an idea of how valuable the Lift’n Buddy is in this setting alone,” said Aaron Lamb, the company’s president and founder.  According to Lamb, the ongoing improvement in worker safety standards, especially in Canada and the EU, and to a lesser extent in the U.S., are helping drive interest in the product, which can reduce worker injuries and a company’s liability.
