Conceptual Innovations, Caster Concepts' Engineering, Consulting, and Custom Manufacturing Firm, using a regular ladder cart already utilized in the client's facility, retrofitted it with a DRIVE CASTER® system to enhance material handling safety and promote ergonomic material handling. This system eliminated the push/pull force previously experienced by the operators, helping to improve productivity and reduce the chance of overexertion injuries.

When designing this motorized ladder, the top concern of the customer was to ensure the safety of its employees in material handling. They did not want their operators riding on the cart as it was moving. To ensure safe operation, Conceptual Innovations added a disable sensor on the ladder. Once someone steps on the ladder, the drive system is disabled.

Likewise, the company wanted to make sure operators were always in control of the cart. To keep the operator’s hands on the cart when in use, an enable button was placed on the opposite side of the ladder handle as the thumb throttle. This addition ensured a safe, two-handed operation, promoting ergonomic material handling practices.

This retrofit also aligns with a comprehensive warehouse safety checklist and adheres to OSHA warehouse safety regulations, further ensuring a safe working environment for all employees.
