The importance of lift truck ergonomics

In the world of material handling, lift truck drivers are responsible for moving heavy goods in warehouses, distribution centres, mines, ports and similar environments. It goes without saying that driver comfort is of utmost importance, as it keeps them more alert and focused in their daily work. As a leading lift truck manufacturer, Konecranes Lift Trucks has an extensive ergonomics program, to promote driver health, safety and productivity.

Ergonomics for good health
At every workplace, people are the most valuable asset. Therefore, it is a strategic decision to offer employees the comfort they need to fulfil their tasks without negative side effects. For a lift truck driver, good ergonomics means that they can work eight plus hours every day without risking their health.
