Work positioners are a key category within ancillary equipment. They allow operators to raise, lower or rotate loads to an ergonomic working height, reducing the risk of strain or injury. These tools are ideal for repetitive assembly, packing or light manufacturing tasks where consistent access to materials is essential.
Positioners are available in both manual and powered formats. Manual models use hydraulic or mechanical lift systems, while powered options provide effortless control for more frequent or heavy-duty use. Compact and easy to manoeuvre, they are well suited for environments where space is limited.
Other ancillary equipment includes rotating platforms, lift-and-turn tables and handling accessories designed to improve precision and safety. These tools help streamline processes and reduce the physical demands placed on staff.
Adding ancillary equipment to your handling setup increases control over how materials are managed at every stage of production or logistics.
