MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY AND
REDUCE ON-THE-JOB INJURIES
It’s no accident that employees tasked with transport-
ing heavy loads via carts are susceptible to serious
on-the-job injuries. The physical strains involved in
pushing, pulling and stopping – as well as the repetitive
motions these tasks entail – often result in employees
who are unable to work and skyrocketing workers’
compensation costs for their employers.
At Lakeside, our designers work with orthopedic
specialists to create products that work with the body
to help keep your staff safe from accidents and
injuries, all while increasing worker productivity.
With our new Ergo-One®Plus Power™ product line,
ergonomic engineering gets a boost – literally – in the
form of a 24-Volt powersystem thatenables your workers
to transport even the heaviest cart loads safely and easily.
Power-assistedTugsand Platform Carts are newessentials
for industries where ergonomic injuries are a concern. A
complete line of Lakeside-designed hitches (factory-
installed or retro-fit) extends the utility of Ergo-One
Plus Power to your entirefleet ofcarts.

YOU CAN’T AFFORD NOT TO INVEST IN ERGONOMIC,
POWER-ASSISTED EQUIPMENT
Since 2002, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA) has sought to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in
the workplace via industry- and task-specific guidelines, outreach, enforcement
and research. Regardless of industry, power-assisted cart transport technology
can be a key component in creating OSHA-compliant work environments.
Compare the cost of Workers’ Compensation claims to the price of investing in
equipment designed to safeguardemployees – while making them more produc-
tive – and you’ll see it’s no contest: Lakeside Ergo-One® Plus Power™ makes dol-
lars and sense!
