Hammond Case Study
Our main concern was how to load sheet metal on our new equipment in a tight space without damaging it and more importantly, keep our operators safe while doing it.
CHALLENGES
- Employee safety
- Space issues
- Concern with damaging expensive machinery
- Blind spots loading and unloading
- Equipment downtime
SOLUTION
Hammond worked with Liftsafe Engineering and Service Group to develop a custom transfer cart to solve this specific problem. Loads were able to be lifted by crane onto the transfer cart and moved safely and accurately into the laser cutting machine without the need to worry about operator error, injury or damage to the machine, ensuring maximum uptime.
