With more than a million cases of musculoskeletal disorders reported each year by British workers, Power-Lift are making light work of manual handling with their extensive selection of custom built bespoke lift tables and bespoke scissor lifts.
Nigel Roberts, director at Power-Lift, said, “musculoskeletal disorders are certainly on the rise right here in the UK and this is down to poor education and a lack of adequate equipment. It is estimated that such disorders and injuries cost the British economy more than £5.7 billion each year from lost man hours and claims, which is why it is essential that employers adhere to the regulations laid down by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).”
According to the HSE, ‘more than a third of all over-three-day injuries reported each year to HSE and local authorities are caused by manual handling- the transporting or supporting of loads by hand or by bodily force.’
Under The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, as amended in 2002, employers should ‘Consider automation, particularly for new processes and think about mechanisation and using handling aids including a conveyor system, a pallet truck, an electric or hand-powered hoist or a lift truck’
Mr Roberts from the firm who specialise in pallet handling, added, “Here at Power-Lift we specialise in producing a range of bespoke options to ensure that manual handling injuries are taken extremely seriously.”
Power-Lift recently produced a bespoke lift table for the European High Speed Railway, which was designed to sit in a trench while mechanics take care of the essential maintenance of the drive motors underneath the trains.
This unique five tonne lift was designed with flexibility in mind and as a result the unit makes use of movement in the X, Y and Z axis and the lift bed can also be moved from left to right and rotated it if need be thanks to a turntable on the top layer of the lift.
The firm have also produced bespoke lift tables for many other global firms in the past including one for Rolls Royce to aid them in the servicing of plane engines and in the maintenance of jet liners.

Power-Lift Launch Exclusive Pink Pallet Truck For Girls!
Power-Lift the leading providers of bespoke lift tables and bespoke scissor lifts, have launched a brand new pink pallet truck making light work of heavy lifting whilst reinforcing the backbone of British industry.Nigel Roberts, director at Power-Lift, said, “Hand pallet trucks are the backbone of
British industry and allow for the safe and easy movement of good across factory floors, warehouses and supermarkets. Despite this, these valuable pieces of industrial kit are not very easy on the eyes or female friendly so we have created one for the girls!”
Complete with a two ton capacity, these hand pallet trucks were originally ordered in green, but due the language barrier in China they were delivered in hot pink causing many men within the industry to shun the new designs and refuse to use them!
Mr Roberts from the firm who specialise in pallet handling, added, “It seems that our new pink shipment has caused a bit of a buzz within the industry- who would of though that an innocent mistake with the ordering process would have resulted in such a unique product!”
With 90 hot pink trucks currently available, the new shipment is yet to be added to the website, but orders are being taken on their order line!
Boasting a three position trigger, full bushing in key areas, exit and entry rollers and conforming to Conforms to BSEN1757-2:2001 standards, this new hand pallet truck is unlikely to get lost on the warehouse floor due to its bright exterior and its ‘Sheila’s Wheel’ style design means that it is unlikely to get stolen!
Mr Roberts added, “Although this truck is a bit of fun, it also has a rather serious side. Able to prevent muscular skeletal disorders when used in conjunction with a pallet lift table, this combination can prevent both undesirable consequences of heavy lifting and bending- something laid out in the Health and Safety Executives (HSE) Guidelines.
