New Motorized Dump Hopper eliminates strains and pains from transporting heavy trash and debris in factories, schools and warehouses

May 1, 2009
DJ Products, Inc. of Minneapolis has introduced a motorized dump hopper that disposes your trash and debris in your facility. The Motorized Dump Hopper eliminates the manual pushing of heavy trash containers and increases the efficiency of the disposal process for your business. The powered dump hopper is powered for moving heavy trash and debris used for daily duties in industries like factories, schools and warehouses.

Workplace injury and illness costs American businesses $171 billion annually. Workers’ compensation claims add another $60 billion to that annual price tag. More than a quarter of those claims are for back injuries from repetitive lifting, pulling, pushing and straining, according to the National Council on Compensation Insurance. OSHA reports that back injuries cost U.S. businesses $12 million in lost workdays and $1 billion in compensation costs each year. The time-lost cost of a single injury is estimated at $26,000.

Due to their aging work force, changing work environment, or new OSHA related safety regulations, this powered dump hopper helps eliminate the strains and pains of pushing these heavy carts. Employers report a decrease in work-related injuries and employee turnover, while they experience an increase in employee productivity and job satisfaction. The motorized dump hopper can haul loads up to 2000 lbs. The motorized tilt truck has a variable speed twist grips that allows the operator to travel at speeds of 0-3 mph forward or backward. With its heavy duty, 24-volt motor being powered by two 12v batteries, their motorized dump hopper can perform without re-charging for an entire shift. Their powered tilt truck can be customized to any application or any environment.For more information about applications and environments conducive to the Motorized Dump Hopper, or any heavy cart mover application, call DJProducts at 1-800-686-2651, or visit them at http://www.djproducts.com/news/motorized-dump-hopper.html
