The depth of our technical knowledge speaks for itself, as Alwayse has 80 years of experience developing ball transfer units. When we say that we’re the right choice when it comes to ball transfer units, you can trust us. With an Alwayse ball deck or table, you can move the most delicate of materials right up to 10 tonnes, smoothly and precisely.
But what does this mean for your company?
Higher Health and Safety Standards
Manual handling, vehicles such as forklift trucks and overhead cranes all provide real risks to your employees. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) accounted for 8.9million lost working days in Great Britain in 2019/20, with manual handling estimated to be the main cause. Accidents involving forklift trucks happen every week on average in the UK and being struck by a moving vehicle was the second highest cause of fatality in industry in 2019/20. Working with cranes poses many hazards, and without precautions in place, injuries or even fatalities can occur.
Using an Alwayse ball deck or table makes forklift trucks and overhead cranes unnecessary. They can be integrated into various types of equipment, including workbenches, assembly lines, or conveyor systems and when compared to overhead conveyor systems, ball transfer units often require less complex infrastructure and therefore less maintenance. A ball deck or table provides a high degree of flexibility and control during material handling operations, therefore reducing the physical strain and fatigue associated with manual material handling.
Reducing Costs
Soaring prices for energy and labour, inflation and Brexit have all contributed to a landscape where businesses need to seriously consider their costs. According to the International Labour Organisation, the average UK labour cost for an employee in 2023 is £25.92. Whether you need to move an electrical cabinet, a HVAC unit or even an incinerator, the costs mount up.
Using an Alwayse ball deck or table offers a tailor-made solution that doesn’t require a power source, eliminates lifting equipment and helps you to achieve your net zero target.
