The Hand Truck Company Solutions: Reducing Workplace Injuries & Enhancing Safety
Workplace injuries related to overexertion remain the leading cause of injury, accounting for 22.7% of all incidents and costing industries $13.3 billion annually—a figure that continues to rise. Additionally, falls, object-related injuries, and bodily reactions contribute another 35.7% of workplace injuries, totaling $20.9 billion in costs.
Our 360 Hand Truck line is specifically designed to mitigate these risks by addressing awkward load shifts and reducing physical strain. Each hand truck features an integrated retractable ratchet strap, allowing for secure horizontal or vertical load stabilization without requiring manual placement or excess effort. The multi-directional wheel system, controlled by ergonomic fingertip triggers, enables effortless steering adjustments at 45, 90, and 180 degrees. This eliminates the need for heavy lifting when changing direction, reducing unnecessary force and minimizing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.
By incorporating these innovative safety features, The Hand Truck Company enhances workplace efficiency, reduces injury-related costs, and prioritizes employee well-being.
