What is the best way to lift and move large rolls of industrial fabric?

To save the backs and knees of your employees, manual lifting is generally a bad option. Back injuries are one of the most common workplace safety and health concerns. for more information on back safety, see our previous blog: Save Your Back—Go Automatic.

​Among America’s most common workplace safety and health injuries are back strains.  Approximately 80% of the population will have a back injury during their lifetime, so workers need to be prepared and take care of their backs.

Back injuries can be very painful and have the potential to significantly impact daily activities and work. While back injuries are usually caused after years of poor back maintenance, a single event can make all those years catch up fast. Back pain is most often the result of muscle and ligament strains, especially in a factory that requires heavy lifting. You always hear the advice to lift with your legs rather than your back, but it’s hard to follow that advice day in and day out when your knees are starting to hurt.

So, what is the best way to store rolls of industrial fabric?

The answer is a roll rack. Our A-frame heavy duty racks are great for storing heavy industrial fabrics from vinyl to polyester. They can move around the workspace easily and store those large rolls out of the way.

The rack will allow you to easily handle rolled goods and spread them onto your cutting system while maintaining precise alignment of each ply. There is a center support for wider machines, and for narrow heavy materials.
