Moving heavy materials up and down stairs is a challenging and potentially dangerous operation due to the physical effort involved and the risk of accidents and damage to people, goods, and structures.
The main challenges of moving heavy materials on stairs:
Heavy weight: Heavy materials such as machinery, appliances, furniture, or bulky packages require significant physical effort to move manually, increasing the risk of fatigue, trauma, and muscle injury for the moving personnel.
Maneuverability Challenges: The size and weight of heavy materials make them difficult to maneuver in confined spaces such as staircases, hallways, and doorways. There is a high risk of collision with walls, floors, or other objects, causing damage to both the materials being transported and the surrounding environment.
Narrow and curved stairs: Narrow and curved stairs are an additional obstacle to moving heavy materials. Transporting materials on such stairs is risky and requires delicate maneuvers to avoid collisions, tipping, and damage.
Risk of accidents: Manual handling of heavy materials on stairs poses a high risk of accidents to the handling personnel. Slips, falls and overexertion can cause serious physical injury.
Material damage: During transportation, heavy materials may sustain damage to their structure, internal components, or packaging due to impacts, falls, or abrupt maneuvers.
To meet the challenges of moving heavy materials up and down stairs, it is critical to employ appropriate solutions that ensure operator safety, maintain material integrity, and protect the assets involved.
Zonzini electric stair climbers are designed to transport heavy materials of all types and weights.
Zonzini stair climbers are essential tools for the safe and efficient transport of heavy materials on stairs. Equipped with tracks and wheels, these carts make it easy to move heavy loads, reducing physical strain and minimizing the risk of accidents and damage.
Choosing the right Zonzini stair climber: There are currently 5 different models of Zonzini stair climbers, each with specific features to meet different stair transportation needs. There are also different versions of the same model.
The main differences are in load capacity and some technological and structural features. It’s important to choose the right cart for the weight of the material, the dimensions of the stairs, and the conditions of the path. For example, the stair-climbing trolley Ibex It is very light and fast: suitable for transporting heavy goods up to 120 kg (265 lbs). Electric trolley. Buddy And Buddy Lift is ideal for transporting goods weighing up to 200 kg (441 lbs). Stair climbers tracked Domino and Skipper are designed to transport heavy materials up to 400 kg (881 lbs).
