When Does an Investment in an ErgoStrap System Pay Off?
An ErgoStrap system is a worthwhile investment whenever you are strapping pallets manually and value efficiency, ergonomics, and safety in your operations. ErgoStrap is specifically designed to make a measurable difference in all these areas — starting from the very first pallet.
When ErgoStrap Really Pays Off:
- Ergonomically Straining Tasks: If employees regularly need to bend down or walk around pallets to strap them, ErgoStrap significantly reduces physical strain and fatigue.
- Reducing Downtime: The ergonomic design minimizes the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, helping lower absenteeism and long-term personnel costs.
- Growing Production Volumes: ErgoStrap systems scale effortlessly with your output — no major upgrades required.
- Error Prevention: Standardized, semi-automated processes improve strapping consistency, reliability, and safety.
- High Workload: With ErgoStrap, pallets can be strapped twice as fast compared to manual methods — saving substantial time and improving workflow.
- High Pallet Turnover: The more pallets you process, the greater the impact. Time savings and efficiency increase exponentially with higher volume.
Sample Cost-Benefit Calculation:
(Based on time savings calculation)
This calculation focuses solely on time savings – the direct reduction in strapping time:
A company straps an average of 30 pallets per day.
Manually, one strapping takes approx. 3 minutes; with ErgoStrap, only about 1.5 minutes.
Without ErgoStrap:
-
30 pallets × 3 minutes = 90 minutes per day
-
90 minutes × 220 working days = 330 hours per year
-
330 hours × $33/hour (including labor costs) = $10,890 per year
With ErgoStrap:
-
30 pallets × 1.5 minutes = 45 minutes per day
-
45 minutes × 220 working days = 165 hours per year
-
165 hours × $33/hour = $5,445 per year
→ Savings: approx. $5,445 annually from time savings alone.
Additional Benefits (Not Included in This Calculation):
-
Reduced sick leave due to fewer strain-related injuries
-
Increased employee motivation thanks to ergonomic working conditions
-
Greater process reliability and consistent strapping quality
