Do I really need to explain the use of the tilt table anchor chain? Isn't it obvious?

The Tilt Table Anchor Chain

Do your employees have guidance on weight issues when it comes to single-person lifting? A tilt table allows the worker to access the contents of boxes and crates with more ease and comfort than simply stooping over to retrieve items from a box on the floor. Even with the assistance of a tilt table, there are some objects that simply should not be moved by a single person.

Another factor to consider is the use of anchor chains. A tipping hazard is present for any unanchored object on the tilt table, even if it is within the weight tolerances for the table. Tilt a heavy crate an inch too far and the unanchored box will tumble onto the floor. This tipping hazard can cost you in both worker productivity and damaged goods--make the anchor chain a required-use item.
