Distributors and Solutions

Recently I was very pleased to see that Air Technical Industries has launched an enhanced program to promote cooperation with existing distributors and gain additional distributors who can partner with us to promote our extensive line of Material Handling Products. Truth is that just like a distributor or a re-seller, any production worker needs to justify the need for a new purchase to his boss. Scissor lifts, floor cranes, crate positioners, and upenders eliminate the need for excessive bending, lifting and reaching.

We all need to live within our budgets, however certain circumstances may trigger the necessity for a capital expenditure. Changes in a process, increased workload, excessive maintenance for older equipment, bottlenecks, just to name a few cases. It can be difficult to recognize the return on investment that follows from changes to one single link in the chain of production. Indirect benefits can include less worker fatigue, less absenteeism and fewer injuries. Like many investments, the benefits extend far into the future. Once a real comparison between doing the way we have always done it, and investing in equipment improvement the advantage is quickly realized.

Specific examples include a customer who had been using three men & a fork truck to flip a large cabinet. Our Zero Low Upender Inverter allowed for a single man to do the job. Another company was spending hundreds to maintain an existing floor crane. The replacement crane from ATI was cheaper to maintain, more efficient, better suited and came with a brand new warranty. Recently I spoke with another gentleman who described a “near miss”. A large cumbersome product had kicked out across the room as it was handled for packaging. No injury this time, however the cost of an injury goes beyond any monetary expenses.

The real bottom line adds up to a safer, more profitable and efficient workplace for any business. I’m pleased to be able to be able to improve the lives of so many people with our quality equipment.
