     Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the worker. When there is a mismatch between the physical requirements of the job and the physical capacity of the worker, repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) can result. Workers who must repeat the same motion throughout their workday, who must do their work in an awkward position, who must use a great deal of force to perform their jobs, who must repeatedly lift heavy objects or who face a combination of these risk factors are most likely to develop RSIs.

     RSIs are one of the fastest growing workplace injuries, costing employers more than $20 billion for 2.73 million workers' compensation claims in 1993. Indirect costs may run as high as $100 billion. Workers who experience RSIs may be unable to perform their jobs or even simple household tasks.

     Often RSIs can be prevented by simple and inexpensive changes in the workplace. Adjusting the height of working surfaces, varying tasks for workers and encouraging short rest breaks can reduce risks. Reducing the size of items workers must lift or providing lifting equipment also may aid workers. Specially designed equipment, such as curved knives for poultry processors, may help.

Reduced injuries
Our Work Station Cranes are a proven way to reduce injuries, especially back injuries.

Increased productivity
Work Station Cranes help your workers work more productively than traditional I-beam cranes. A study conducted by the Human Factors Laboratory at Rochester Institute of Technology we show that work station cranes increase productivity up to 28 percent compared with I-beam cranes.

Ease of movement and positioning
Work Station Bridge Cranes can move a load three times more easily than a traditional I-beam crane. This ease of movement and positioning results from our unique enclosed track design, high strength-to-weight ratio, and rigid runways with anti-binding end trucks.

Improved work force utilization
Work Station Cranes can help you reach the typical ergonomic goal in material handling: Allowing a task to be performed by 90 percent of your workers. For instance, the Rochester Institute of Technology study, commissioned by Gorbel, shows that less than 10 percent of men can safely handle a 4,000-lb. load on a manual I-beam crane, but more than 99 percent can do so on a Gorbel Work Station Crane.

Since physical strength becomes less of an issue with Work Station Cranes, you can better utilize your work force. This saves additional work time and avoids possible injury for all workers..
