02-161 SW Full Line Catalog6/10/022:40 PMPage 3Increase Worker Productivity &Profits with Improved ErgonomicsWhen we wrote the book on Ergonomics almost30 years ago, we knew it was an important topic.We had no idea it would become so widelydiscussed by people in so many different industries.Our view then was that the practical application ofergonomic principles could do more for businessesthan just reduce worker fatigue and the risk ofworker injury. Instead, we saw the real benefit ofergonomics as increased productivity and animproved bottom line. And that’s a point we’ve beenmaking continuously over the last 110 years. Just look at the covers of some of ourearly company literature.Today, improvements in productivity from the use of ergonomic equipment are moreimportant than ever. The question now is not “how much does it cost?” but “will it payfor itself?” and “how fast?”. In an effort to demonstrate that ergonomic equipment will“pay for itself” we have developed a simple cost justification wheel. It shows how muchtime a piece of ergonomic equipment will have to save a worker in order for it to “pay foritself” in one year. It also shows how percentage gains in productivity can provide fullpayback of equipment costs in less than one year. Your cost justification wheel should beincluded with this brochure. If it’s not just give us a call we’ll be happy to send you one.Southworth is proud to offer more products that improve productivity through practicalergonomics than any other materials handling company. The following pages have specificproducts and descriptions of how they can improve your company’s bottom line.

02-161 SW Full Line Catalog6/10/022:50 PMPage 9Handle Parts inContainers or TotesWithout Bending,Lifting or ReachingAccessing parts in containers is one of the mostsignificant productivity thieves in any manufacturingor assembly operation. Getting at parts in the bottomof containers is difficult and requires workers tobend and lift to get them out. Bringing parts closerto the worker and making them easier to access canbe accomplished by providing workers with aSouthworth Container Tilter.8
02-161 SW Full Line Catalog6/10/022:51 PMPage 10Southworth Container Tilters are designedto improve worker productivity and safety bypositioning wire baskets and other containersso that parts are easily accessible formachine feeding and off loading without theneed for bending, stretching, reaching orunnecessary lifting.Pneumatic Lift and TiltTilt Loads up to 4,000 pounds to a 40 degreeangle with as little as 80 psi. Also availablein a tilt only model.E-Z Reach Universal TilterThe wide pan allows all types of containersto be placed directly on the tilter by forktrucks or hand pallet trucks.E-Z Reach Portable TilterE-Z Reach Portable Tilters have casters thatallow them to pick up staged containers, andmove them to workstations. Capacities are2,000 and 4,000 lbs. with tilt angle up to 85 .Choose AC or DC power. Available in Manualor Powered Drive configuration.E-Z Reach Roll-On TilterFork pockets allow container to be placed onE-Z Reach Tilter by either fork lift or handpallet truck.Z-Lift & Tilt Tables All the best features of a lift table and atilter in a single unit. Independently controllift and tilt. Vertical travel to 32" and tiltangles from 5 to -45 .Container Transporter/RotatorWhen applications require workers to “walkinto” containers to access parts, this unit isthe solution. It is highly portable and offersindependent control of lift and rotate functions.Portable Lift and TiltIndependently control lift and tilt functionsat a fraction of the cost of lift and tilttables. Tilt 2,200 lb. loads up to 90 .E-Z Reach Lift and TiltPrecisely position containers withindependent control of lift and tilt angle.Can be furnished with various capacities,platforms and degrees of tilt.In almost every case we’ve ever seen, production machines work faster thanthe people feeding them. Getting parts to machines faster not only increasesworker productivity, it increases machine productivity, improving R.O.I. andshortening the amount of time it takes for production equipment to “pay for itself”.9
02-161 SW Full Line Catalog6/10/022:52 PMPage 11Load and Unload PalletsQuickly and Safely WithoutLifting, Stretchingor WalkingMore items are shipped on skids or pallets than allother packaging methods combined. Often timesloads are broken down and rebuilt on different pallets,a backbreaking, time consuming job. SouthworthPallet Level Loaders speed and simplify the processincreasing the amount of goods that can be shipped orreceived every day.10
02-161 SW Full Line Catalog6/10/022:52 PMPage 12More than a decade ago, Southworthintroduced the original PalletPal LevelLoader for manual pallet loading and unloading.Since then, the Southworth pallet handlingline has grown to include both spring and airactuated units, roll-on units for use withhand pallet trucks, turntables, stretch wrappersand pallet rotators.Roll-On Level LoaderLowers to floor height so pallets can berolled on with a hand pallet truck. Adjusts tomost convenient working height.Narrow side panels virtually eliminatereach-over and a front edge photo eyeprovides operator protection.Available with One Touch Auto-Load Leveling Control.PalletPal Stretch WrappersSimply wheel a loaded pallet onto the discand move the stretch wrapping wand up anddown the mast as the powered turntablespins the load. Dramatically improvesproductivity and safety over hand wrapping.PalletPal Level LoaderSpring Actuated This simple, automatic unit incorporates aturntable to allow nearside loading and amechanical spring system which lowers orraises the unit to maintain a constant workingheight. No power or air supply is required.Accommodates loads up to 4,500 Ibs.Roll-On Level LoaderTurntable OptionFor even greater convenience, our popularline of Roll-On Level Loaders is now available with a built in turntable.Pallet Rotators/Skid TurnersFor transferring skid loads from one skid toanother or from skid to slip sheet. They arealso ideal for removing torn bags and otherdamaged goods that are typically found onthe bottom of loads. The unit clamps andthen rotates a full 180 .PalletPal Level LoaderPneumatic OptionDesigned for use where pallet loads varywidely and are changed frequently. Theairbag/spring combination provides virtuallylinear response while maintaining a constantworking height. Load range 500 to 4,500 lbs.PalletPal Disc TurntablesLow-profile design, less than 1" high,allows PalletPal Disc Turntables to accepta hand pallet jack. By rotating the load, theoperator always works from the near-sidewithout walking around the pallet.By maintaining a constant working height as objects are added or removed,workers can build and break down pallet loads quickly and easily whileexpending the minimum effort possible. Turntables allow loading and unloadingfrom the near side eliminating walking around pallets which wastes timeand increases fatigue and the risk of injury.11
02-161 SW Full Line Catalog6/10/022:53 PMPage 13Move Anything EffortlesslyWithout Lifting in theLaboratory, Plant,Warehouse, or OfficeIn virtually every plant, shop, warehouse, or office thereis a need to transport materials, equipment and suppliesfrom place to place and with an absolute minimum oflifting. Employers often risk injury by carrying lighterloads from one location to another, or from lifting themfrom the floor to a workbench or shelf. Economicallifter/transporters combine two important functions inone machine to do the job faster and safer.12
02-161 SW Full Line Catalog6/10/022:54 PMPage 14Southworth’s complete line of manual andpowered transport equipment is designedto meet the widest range of applicationneeds and to bring safe handling well withinthe budget requirements of any company or job.Dandy Leveler The Elph Spring actuated platform can deliver theload and then automatically adjust for levelfeeding and offloading.

Fully charges in four hours from astandard 110 V AC outlet.Dandy Lifter/TransporterEssential wherever lifting, positioning,assembling, stacking, unstacking,transportingor the need for an adjustable height worksurface is part of the job. The Dandy Liftis available in capacities up to 1,760 lbs.Backsaver Lite PortableIf you lift loads of 1,100 Ibs or less, you canhave a highly reliable, industrial grade lifttable which easily moves the load and lifts itwith the touch of a button. These units areavailable with manual or powered drive.F500 L and M500 L Dandy Lifts are designedfor transporting loads on skids, multi-leggedcomposite pallets or in containers. They have acapacity of 1,100 lbs and can be raised andlowered to an infinite number of positionswithin their working range by means of afoot pedal activated hydraulic pump.High Lift DandyWith the ability to lift loads as heavy as770 lbs. to heights of over four feet, theA-350 Dandy Lift is ideal for order pickingfrom storage shelves, positioning partsor sub-assemblies in assembly operationsor any other application requiring the abilityto transport and lift to shoulder heights.Pallet/Skid DandyBacksaver Lite PoweredA Backsaver Lite Portable with a power driveunit for effortless relocation within the plant.Sliding boxes off of pallets, workbenches, or shelves onto lifter/transporterseliminates lifting. Once loaded they move easily around the plant, even in tightspaces that a fork lift or pallet truck could not go. Loads can then be verticallypositioned (by manual foot pump or electric power), for easy off loading.Conveyor tops or ball transfers further simplify the process.13
