Material Lifters TORO
14th May, 2024 | by Matthew BrittainMaterial Lifters are designed to be operated by a single person. The compact design has a mast with telescopic aluminium profiles that are raised and lowered using a pulley and cable system.
The compact models have a 1.68m lowered height making them extremely compact for transport. The lightweight design is for easy handling and clear access through corridors and doorways. The lifter is portable and can be transported by van or truck tray.
When loading, simply fold the lifter and roll onto the vehicle using the transport wheels. The lifter is fitted with a manual hand winch with two handles and an automatic brake. The winch stops and locks the load at the desired height. When the winch handle is released, the automatic brake locks the load in place. The winch handles are removable for transport and storage.
The TORO Material Lifters have a special design that allows the legs to be inserted from the front or the rear of the chassis. This makes using it close to a wall or an obstruction possible. These support legs are fitted with height-adjustable wheels. Optional tray for counterbalance and counterweights are available.
Fast and easy set-up with no tools required for assembly. There are no loose parts, meaning no critical components can be left behind on the job site. The lifter is provided with magnetic locking pins to prevent misplacing them. 100% made in Spain these lifters are suitable for industrial and residential installations, both indoor and outdoor use.
The TORROS are high-quality machines, manufactured by the Spanish company GUIL.

Loading dock safety
31st May, 2022 | by support.gocreative
Safety is always of paramount importance in a work space. When it comes to a loading dock, safety is all the more necessary.There is always a lot of activity on a loading dock. With arrivals coming in and shipments going out, even the most well-managed and organised workplace needs to keep a firm eye on safety at all times to ensure risks are minimised and mitigated.

Loading Dock Factors
Due to the fact there are often so many moving parts to a successfully working loading dock, there are also an equal amount of factors that need to be accounted for and controlled to ensure safety.-

Being able to stay on top of these different factors will enable you to minimise the likelihood of an accident and thus injury and/or asset damage.
Standard operating procedure
The standard operating procedure refers to the laid out policies and protocols to ensure work is done in a safe and responsible manner. This can include inspecting incoming and outgoing loads, proper disposal of material and correct use of locking devices. Every procedure will be unique to the workspace in question and should be constantly reviewed and updated.
Cleaning and other housekeeping
Keeping your loading dock clean and kept is an unsung hero of safe operation. There’s often a lot of traffic and movement on a loading dock so the area should be kept free of debris, hygienic and clean. If you deal with hazardous or other potentially risky material, it’s even more important you have a good cleaning and maintenance structure in place.
Training
Employee training is absolutely vital for ensuring everyone knows how to safely operate the various equipment on a loading dock and conduct themselves in a safe manner. From operating machinery to understanding vehicle capabilities, and from ergonomic lifting and carrying to wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when necessary, and even knowing the risk management and incident protocols and procedures, training isn’t a one-and-done thing. It’s an ongoing commitment to ensure your loading dock remains safe.
Engineering controls
Engineering controls are there to reduce risks and hazards. They can include something as simple as highly visible paint on areas that can prove hazardous, to elaborate electronic systems, automated machinery and the like.
Logistics
The more efficient your logistical plans the better your loading dock will operate. Of course, even the smoothest of facilities will find storage spaces full at some point and your loading dock will need to step up. However, having a robust logistical plan and operating procedure will not only ensure that your safety policies are adhered to but will also safeguard your assets from damage or loss. A strong loading dock safety plan and logistics plan go hand in hand.
Managing loading dock safety
Workplace health and safety is an ongoing work in progress and often managing it successfully requires double checking and ongoing development of your controls and procedures. The important thing to remember is that no matter how much time and energy you invest into the safety of your workers and worksite, it’s always worth it.
To help you in your journey, the team at Materials Handling is always on hand to give you help finding the right equipment, accessories and loading dock safety tools.
