Increase Worker Productivity and Profitswith Improved Ergonomics
When we began writing about Ergonomicsmore than 30 years ago, we were simplyattempting to bring a more scientific perspectiveto a common sense issue. If you consider thecapabilities and limitations of the worker inthe design of the workplace, the worker willbe more productive and that productivitycontributes to profit.
At the time we had no idea that the topic ofergonomics would become so widely discussed,by so many people, in so many professions,withso many agendas. Despite all of the politics and
hoopla, our view today is the same as it was 30 years ago. The practicalapplication of ergonomic principles is a core business proposition.Yes, it is about reducing worker fatigue and the risk of worker injury,which are very worthwhile objectives. However, the real desired benefitdriving factory or warehouse investment is increased productivity and animproved bottom line. That’s what an investment in practical ergonomicsproduces and that is the point we have been making for decades.
Improvement in productivity from the use of ergonomic equipment iseasier to achieve and more important than ever. Lean manufacturingrequires minimizing material handling and any approach to the productsdescribed in this brochure can do just that. In an effort to demonstratethat ergonomic equipment will “pay for itself” we have developed asimple cost justification wheel. It shows how percentage gains inproductivity can usually provide full payback of equipment costs in justa few months. If you would like a wheel, just give us a call and we’ll behappy to send you one.
Southworth is proud to offer more products that improve productivitythan any other materials handling company. The following pages havespecific products and descriptions of how they can improve yourcompany’s bottom line. For more information please call us at800-743-1000 or visit www.SouthworthProducts.com.

Literally millions of configurations available.
Industrial grade lift without the industrial grade price.
There are literally hundreds of uses for lift tablesin manufacturing, warehousing and distributionfacilities. The addition of these inexpensivedevices makes the job faster, safer, and easier.
Some typical applications include: machine feeding and offloading; product assembly; inspection quality control repair; feeding andoffloading conveyors; and bridging different conveyor levels. With more models and optionsthan any other manufacturer, Southworth is yourbest choice for lift tables that stand out from all others in performance, ease of use and service life.

Heavy-Duty Lifts
Some lift table requirements fall outside theparameters of our Backsaver Line such as heavy loads, extreme load dimensions, highvertical travel and pallet jack accessibility.
In such cases, one of our Special Use Lifts can dothe job nicely. In addition to the Backsaver line,Southworth manufactures a number of lift tables for specialized applications.
They include tables with: • Extra long and extra wide platforms• Increased capacity• Extended vertical travel • Hand pallet truck accessibilityFor more details request our Specialty Lifts catalog.
Incorporating these special use lift tables intomany applications not only makes a singleworker more productive, it often allows oneworker to perform tasks that normally requiretwo. In either case, the work environment isalways safer and more efficient.

Transfer loads from one skid to another or from skids to slip sheets.
More items are shipped on skids or pallets thanall other packaging methods combined. Loadingand off-loading these pallets is always a backbreaking, time consuming job. SouthworthPalletPal Products speed up and simplify theprocess, safely increasing the amount of goodsthat can be shipped or received every day.
Two decades ago, Southworth introduced theoriginal PalletPal® Level Loader for manual palletloading and unloading. Since then, the Southworthpallet handling line has grown to include:
• Spring and air actuated units• Roll - On units for use with hand pallet trucks• Turntables• Mobile Levelers and Pallet RotatorsFor more details request our PalletPal catalog.

Handy foot pump lifts loads to just the right height.
In virtually every plant, shop, stockroom,warehouse, or office there is a need to transportmaterials, equipment and supplies from place toplace and with an absolute minimum of lifting.Employees often risk injury by carrying objectsand loads from one location to another, or fromlifting them from the floor to a workbench or shelf.Lifter/transporters combine two important functionsin one machine to do the job faster and safer.
Southworth’s variety of transport equipment isdesigned to meet the widest range of application needs:• Foot pump units are practical and economical• Double scissor units lift loads over 5'• Mechanical units are ideal for clean environments• Power drive units for long distance travelFor more details request our Dandy Lifts catalog.
Sliding boxes off of pallets, workbenches, orshelves onto lifter/transporters eliminates lifting.Once loaded they move easily around the plant,
even in tight spaces where a forkliftor pallet truck could not go. Loadscan then be vertically positioned(by manual foot pump or electric
power), for easy offloading.Workers are more productive,fatigue is reduced and the riskof injury is minimized.
