The workplace lifting process is best accomplished with an appropriate and specialized hoisting device. Basic factors affecting the lifting process are: Payload (weight of the object being lifted), Frequency (number of the lifts per day), Distance, Direction, Speed (feet per minute), and the Power source (electrical, pneumatic, or manual). Safe ergonomic lifting has become a major focus in the workplace; reducing accidents, risk of injury, lost time, litigation, product damages and inefficiencies due to repetitive lifting.

Recognized as necessity tool, impactools minimize exertion for the user when tightening and loosening various industrial and construction fasteners and components. Impactools are designed around the need for reliable operation and efficiency in various high demand operating conditions, especially when installing or removing heavy duty components.
