A trash can lifter looks like a convenience purchase until you put numbers on it. Here's what it's actually buying you.
The second worker. If your heavy cans are a two-person job, one of those people is now free to do literally anything else. Every shift, every day.
The claim you don't file. Workers-comp data (NCCI) puts the average lifting-injury claim around $37,000 — before lost time, retraining, and the premium bump. Every model we make costs a fraction of one claim.
The policy you can actually follow. Plenty of facilities cap one-person lifting at 30 to 50 pounds. A full can breaks that cap daily. A lifter is how the policy and the trash schedule stop fighting each other.
It isn't about convenience. It's one person doing the job safely, with the risk taken out. See what fits your operation.
