Why your packing table should be height-adjustable
Ergonomic working is the most important thing you need to enable your employees to do. This is the only way to maintain physical well-being during the working day. One part of an ergonomic workplace in logistics is a packing table, which should be height-adjustable.
At Rocholz you will find a wide range of height-adjustable packing tables. The internationally recognised SYSTEM FLEX, for example, is available with such a function. In just a few simple steps, the table height can be ideally adjusted to the size of the package or the height of your employee. The quick adjustment is particularly advantageous for shift work, when different specialists often work at the same packing table.
Rocholz shows you why you should not do without an (electrically) height-adjustable packing table. Get to know the benefits that you as an entrepreneur can also enjoy from an ergonomic workstation solution.
More than just ergonomics
The advantages of a healthy working day are obvious. Your employees feel better, their performance is higher and the sickness rate is also lower. However, a packing table that is height-adjustable offers far more benefits than "just" healthy employees. The ergonomics of the workstation will also increase the performance and speed of the employee who can make optimum use of the packing table.
A packing table should be height-adjustable so that it can be used in a variety of ways. The optimum working height can vary for different tasks such as packing large items or working with small products. This flexibility is made possible by an adjustable packing table.
If a packing table is not height-adjustable, this can lead to a higher risk of accidents at work. It also makes it difficult to react to new requirements - for example, when a particularly large parcel has to be packed as an exception.
Example: Height-adjustable packing table used in logistics
A height-adjustable packing table has numerous uses in logistics. Its adaptability and flexibility enable the optimisation of numerous work processes. However, it is not only the packing tables that are height-adjustable, but also the attachments. With the SYSTEM FLEX extension profile, for example, these can be easily attached where they are needed without the need for tools.
In logistics, a height-adjustable packing table including adjustable attachments can be used in numerous areas:
Incoming goods: The packing table can be adjusted to the ideal height to make the process easier. The physical strain on employees when unpacking and checking the delivered goods is minimised by a packing table that is height-adjustable.
Commissioning: Employees who assemble orders from stock can benefit from a customisable packing table. This is especially true if they work with items of different sizes and weights.
Packaging and dispatch: A packing table should be height-adjustable, especially in the areas of packaging and shipping. The height can be adjusted depending on the size and type of products to be packaged or the specific requirements of the packaging material.
Processing of returns: When processing returns, it is possible to adjust the height of the packing table so that the products can be effectively checked, repacked or stored.
Quality control: An adjustable packing table can make work easier and improve visibility when checking products for defects or damage.
Assembly work: In some logistics centres, a height-adjustable work table can increase the efficiency and accuracy of the process if products need to be assembled or modified before they are dispatched.
Special tasks: Height adjustability can be crucial for work that requires special machines or tools that are either stored on the packing table or underneath it.
Trainings and workshops: A customisable packing table can be helpful when training new employees or conducting workshops to meet the requirements of different situations. Assistance systems such as SimpleAssist can play a major role in ensuring that every employee can quickly deal with new challenges.
Multi-purpose areas: Height-adjustable packing tables in logistics centres can help to quickly rearrange the space as required if space is limited or requirements are constantly changing.
Employee satisfaction: Logistics companies can use the flexibility of a height-adjustable packing table to make their processes more efficient and ergonomic. This is an important tool for promoting employee satisfaction and increasing productivity.
For which situation do you need a height-adjustable packing table?
Crank mechanism or convenient electric?
You decide how your packing table is height-adjustable. Rocholz offers systems such as the MODUL 5000 and SYSTEM 2000 with a crank mechanism or, on request, electrically. Products such as SYSTEM FLEX are only available with electric height adjustment. Electric adjustability offers numerous advantages. These include, for example
- A low (ergonomic) load
- Quick adjustment of the table height
- Fixed memory locations for several table heights
Plus points such as these not only ensure greater acceptance, they also provide a strong appreciation of the company's own employees.
