RackStacker

The Challenge: Potential Work Comp Claims and Labor Health

One of the most labor-intensive and potentially harmful jobs in a bottled water plant is manually lifting filled 5-gallon bottles into bottle racks. Racks are often used in the large bottled water industry to load into delivery vehicles. Bottles weigh 40 lbs, and bottles must be lifted into the upper rack, which may exceed 68″. These vast stresses on the operator lead to potential worker’s compensation claims and long-term operator injury and health issues.
