Pain-free
November 1st 2004

Back related injuries represent one of the main causes of absence from work and, in some cases, long term disability has come from excessive lifting in the workplace.

SCM Materials Handling offers a range of solutions, from the manipulation of steel in the production of submarines to lifting turbine blades or white goods. The company has invested in a software design package that allows complete simulation/animation of manipulators and systems so that customers can see exactly what they are getting before any metal is cut. SCM says another benefit of this is that the equipment works first time, reducing lead time and costs.
