Ergonomics
Ergonomics plays a crucial role in promoting the health, safety, and productivity of employees, especially in environments where workers perform repetitive or physically demanding tasks. At Leanflow, we understand the importance of ergonomics in work processes and offer customized solutions that optimize working conditions.
The Importance of Ergonomics in the Workplace!
- Goal: To enable employees to adjust their workspace according to their ergonomic needs, which helps improve posture and reduce physical discomfort.
- Features:
Electric Adjustability: Often equipped with electric motors for easy and quick height adjustment.
Manual Adjustability: Some models have manual levers or cranks for height adjustment.
- Benefits:
Ergonomics: Adjustable height to meet ergonomic guidelines, contributing to better posture and reduced physical strain.
Flexibility: Suitable for various tasks and work styles, allowing employees to work both sitting and standing.
Durability: Made from materials that withstand daily use and wear.
- Goal: Developed to help employees smoothly switch between sitting and standing positions, thereby reducing prolonged sitting.
- Features:
Adjustability: Easily height-adjustable to support both sitting and standing use.
Ondersteuning: Kan worden voorzien van ondersteuning voor de rug, armen, en benen om de druk gelijkmatig te verdelen en vermoeidheid te verminderen.
Mobility: Often equipped with wheels for easy movement within the workspace.
- Benefits:
Health: Reduces risks associated with prolonged sitting, such as back pain and circulation problems.
Productivity: Improves focus and productivity by regularly changing posture.
Comfort: Adjustable to the needs of different users, leading to greater comfort during work.
- Doel: Ontworpen om werknemers te helpen zware lasten te verplaatsen met minimale fysieke inspanning, waardoor de kans op blessures afneemt en de efficiëntie wordt verhoogd.
- Functies en Ontwerp:
Adjustable Height: Some models have a height-adjustable platform, allowing the cart to be adapted to the user’s working height.
Ergonomic Handles: Equipped with handles designed to minimize wrist and hand strain while pushing or pulling the cart.
Robust Wheels: Equipped with sturdy, smooth wheels that allow easy maneuvering, even on uneven surfaces.
Brake Systems: Many carts have built-in brake systems to keep the cart securely in place when needed.
Storage Options: Additional drawers, racks, or bins for organized transport of tools and materials.
Tilt/Rotation: Some models can be tilted or rotated to relieve the user.
- Benefits:
Health and Safety: Reduces physical strain and the risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
Productivity: Facilitates the transport of materials, saving time and increasing efficiency.
Durability: Made from high-quality materials that withstand intensive use in industrial and commercial environments.
- Areas of Application:
Warehouses & Logistics Environment: For moving heavy boxes and pallets.
Production Environments: For transporting parts and tools between different production stations.
Retail & Webshops (Order Picking): For restocking inventory in stores.
Healthcare Facilities: For moving medical equipment and supplies.
Back disorders are the most common causes of work disability—especially in professions where physically demanding activities such as pulling and pushing are part of daily life. The electric drive systems from the brand ErgoMove® significantly reduce these health risks. Because much less force is required compared to manual pushing, the physical strain on operating personnel during material transport within the company is reduced.
Devices, transport equipment, and work tools for every application can be quickly and easily retrofitted with electric drive, steering, and brake assistance via plug & play. The modular sets include two caster wheels with electric drive, cockpit solutions with integrated controls and battery unit, as well as all relevant safety features.

Leanflow’s ergonomic solutions
Leanflow offers various solutions that help companies integrate ergonomics into the workplace:
- Ergonomic Workstations and Workbenches
Leanflow designs workstations tailored to the specific tasks of employees. This includes, for example, adjustable workbenches that adapt to the employee’s height, or workstations that facilitate the use of tools and materials without requiring employees to assume uncomfortable postures. These workspaces not only improve productivity but also help prevent musculoskeletal disorders. - Modular Setups
Leanflow’s modular systems can be easily adapted to changing work requirements. This offers flexibility to efficiently arrange workplaces with ergonomically designed furniture, such as tables, chairs, and storage solutions, which reduce the strain on employees. - Lighting and Material Management
Good lighting and an optimized layout of materials are essential for an ergonomic workplace. Leanflow helps companies improve lighting and create an organized workspace so that materials and tools are always within reach. This prevents employees from overexerting themselves or making unsafe movements. - Transport and Movement Systems
At Leanflow, we implement systems such as AGVs (Autonomous Guided Vehicles) and AMRs (Autonomous Mobile Robots) that reduce the physical workload of staff.
