Workforce Wellbeing
How NIKO products are designed to protect workers, reduce injury and meet Manual Handling Regulations.
The Problem
Manual handling in workplaces is one of the main causes in the development of musculoskeletal disorders — a leading driver of long-term workplace sickness and absence across the UK.
According to the measures set out by Manual Handling Regulations, NIKO products address each requirement directly — eliminating risk at the source rather than simply managing it.
NIKO solutions
Six ways we protect your workforce.
Eliminate pushing and pulling Using powered handling machinery or automated operations removes the most common source of musculoskeletal strain.
Free lifting movement overhead Our overhead crane system enables unrestricted load movement — even over obstructions, steep ramps or uneven floors.
Loads that are lighter, safer and easier to handle The load is more stable in transit, less physically demanding for the worker, easier to grasp and inflicts less stress on the body.
Control workspace risk NIKO cranes help identify and manage hazards before they become incidents — putting safety control in the hands of your team.
Avoid dangerous lift heights Designed to prevent lifting from floor level or above shoulder height — the two positions most likely to cause injury.
Minimise cumulative daily load Reducing the total weight handled across a shift protects workers over the long term — not just in any single lift.
