Removals and Relocations

The removals industry often sets the standard for health and safety in the workplace, due to the simple fact that by virtue, moving goods from one place to another is a human task with risk involved in each movement.

As properties are often multi-level, with varying types and sizes of staircases permitting navigation from one floor to the next, lifting heavy furniture up and down stairs forms a core part of the role. This tends to amplify the risk of injury and thus, extra care and attention is required.

Stanley stair climbers are designed to easily take care of all types of stairs, lifting the various household or office products at the touch of a button.

The first product we would offer that is ideal for the removals industry is the Sprinter, which is a compact, ergonomic and ultra-lightweight powered stairclimber, capable of climbing up to an impressive 48 steps per minute. With a weight capacity of up to 225kg, this model is of lightweight aluminium construction. It’s light enough to be carried, and small enough to fold down easily into the boot of a van, truck or lorry, depending on your fleet. An ideal solution for moving heavy boxes, chests of drawers, wardrobes and more.

SoterCoach

Wearable technology to monitor hazardous movements while working on relocations and removals is Stanley’s latest initiative solution to reduce musculoskeletal injuries for workers. 

Wearable technology for improving physical wellbeing in the workplace by identifying critical spine and shoulder movements. 

Available from Stanley is SoterCoach, the wearable device and AI-driven training programme that coaches workers to self-correct their movements in real-time, reducing back and shoulder ergonomic injuries by up to 40%. 

SoterCoach delivers personalised coaching to workers using a wearable device and provides recommendations via a mobile app, which can be linked to a company computer. The solution improves worker safety by reducing the number of hazardous back and shoulder movements between 30-70%.

SoterCoach directly challenges the traditional classroom style of manual handling training, by identifying, addressing, and monitoring unsafe movement and posture whilst an employee is at work. 

Business costs are reduced and productivity levels improved as the program delivers a culture of wellbeing and a respected collaboration within the company structure.
