Key features
Operator safety is at the core of the Lift Assist’s design. By drastically reducing the physical force needed to lift and close heavy trough hatch covers, the system minimizes the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and repetitive strain among railcar operators.
The smoother motion and soft-close functionality also help prevent sudden drops or impacts, lowering the risk of hand and finger injuries during operation.The result is a safer, more ergonomic solution that improves working conditions while maintaining the high performance expected from a Stucki product.
