Wheeled BRUTE combats backache
WITH TONNES of waste and materials continuously on the move, a busy warehouse is an environment that places tough demands on both workers and their equipment.
Almost half of transport and storage workers report suffering with backache (1), and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are actually one of the most common work-related ailments in Europe, with over 58% of workers reporting they have suffered from at least one(2). But with losses in productivity, delivery delays, sick leave and even compensation a real risk, how can you prevent backache becoming a costly headache for your business?
When it comes to reducing the risk of injuries, investing in the right equipment to do the heavy lifting is essential. Save crucial hours and money in the workflow by enabling your employees to transport heavy loads in one trip.

Made to move and built to last. By investing in durable equipment that will stand the test of time you could save your business precious time and money, as well as support your sustainability goals with a ‘buy better, waste less’ approach.
