Improving safety, labor efficiency, and productivity by optimizing the way you move goods around your facility can SAVE YOU MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in operating expenses.

INCREASED SAFETY

Safety is one of the biggest concerns in manufacturing facilities. Every year, there are close to 35,000 OSHA-reportable forklift accidents resulting in serious injury or death. Since 2002, there have only been 8 total OSHA-reportable tow tractor accidents. Converting to Taylor-Dunn tug systems can drastically reduce your risk of injuries compared to the conventional forklift in horizontal material flow areas.
