Diversity & inclusion in the workplace

Create fair, accessible jobs with ergonomic lifting

In many plants and warehouses, the “heaviest” tasks still end up in the hands of the strongest people. That limits who can do which jobs—and often excludes women and older employees from key roles. By introducing well-designed lifting equipment, you make physically demanding work accessible to a broader range of people, without compromising safety or productivity.

Guidelines in many European countries use different reference weights for men and women, and note that taller or heavier workers can safely handle more than smaller workers. When you rely on manual lifting alone, these differences matter.

With Pronomic lifting solutions, the equipment does the heavy work. That means:

• Tasks can be shared more fairly across the team

• Women are not pushed beyond recommended weights to keep up

• Older employees can continue in roles they know and enjoy

• Recruitment can focus on skills and attitude, not on who can lift the most

Ergonomic lifting is more than a technical upgrade—it’s a step towards more inclusive, equitable jobs where more people can participate on equal terms.
