Frequently Asked Questions

Ergonomic lifting equipment includes devices like pallet inverters, lifters and positioners that reduce strain during material handling.

These systems support safer, more efficient movement of heavy goods by keeping loads at optimal working heights and minimizing bending, lifting and twisting. Millwood’s Liberty line offers both powered and spring-assisted options designed for warehouse, manufacturing and distribution environments. They help reduce injuries, improve efficiency and support compliance with workplace safety standards.

It reduces strain and repetitive motion injuries while increasing handling speed and accuracy.

By keeping loads at waist height and eliminating manual lifting, ergonomic equipment limits fatigue and prevents musculoskeletal injuries. Workers move materials faster, maintain better posture and handle more cycles per shift. The result is improved throughput, lower injury rates and a more motivated workforce — a measurable win for safety and productivity.

Ergonomic equipment benefits any facility handling palletized or heavy goods daily.

Manufacturing, distribution, food and beverage and logistics operations all use ergonomic systems to reduce worker fatigue and injury. Whether improving workstation efficiency or simplifying pallet transfers, Millwood’s solutions protect employees and strengthen productivity across every shift.

Yes. Millwood engineers each system to fit your load requirements, workspace and workflow.

We consider capacity, footprint, mobility and safety factors to design the ideal configuration. Customization ensures that each system performs reliably and integrates smoothly into your processes.

A pallet inverter automates load transfer safely and efficiently, removing the strain, time and risk of manual restacking.

Manual restacking often requires workers to lift, shift and realign heavy products by hand — a process that slows operations and increases the risk of injury or product damage. A pallet inverter performs the same task in seconds, rotating entire loads 180° for fast pallet replacement or exchange. This eliminates repetitive motion, protects product integrity and improves workflow efficiency. Millwood’s Liberty Inverter is built for durability and ease of use, giving facilities a dependable, ergonomic solution that saves labor while maintaining safety and productivity standards across every shift.
