Manual Handling

Many companies use gas cylinders on a daily basis. We frequently presume that their use is safe, because anyone can use a gas cylinder without having to demonstrate their safety knowledge.

Industrial 205-litre drums and barrels can weigh up to 350kg (772lb) when full, these weights are well in excess of the UK guidance on manual handling

Industrial trucks, warehouse trolleys, carts, whatever you may call them, are all a form of manual handling in the workplace. They quite simply allow movement of goods in a safe and efficient manner.

Sack Trucks are traditionally a two-wheeled trolley with a toe plate at the bottom for various items to be placed on and lifted to allow easy transport.
