- One in every
five workers is reportedly affected by back injuries.
- For a first
time back injury, the cost can add up to as much as $1,000. But for more severe cases - the kind that result when a person is
hurt over and over again - the cost can climb as high at $30,000.
- The back
is rarely injured by lifting a single load, but rather by
cumulative trauma resulting from excessive bending, twisting,
sitting or poor posture.
- Approximately
2/3 of all workers' compensation illnesses and 1/3 of all lost
time claims are from repetitive motion trauma.

| 1. Estimate Project Cost: |
$60,000 |
| 2. Factory Labor Rate: |
$50.00 hr |
| 3. Number of People Performing Process: |
2 |
| 4. Number of Hours Each Person Spends On Process: |
1 |
| 5. Percent of Estimated Time Saved: |
20% |
(Example: If it currently takes 2 people
to perform a process without a lift, it would take only one person
to perform the same task, thus, reducing labor cost and hours spent
by 50%)
|
| 6. Units Produced Annually: |
200 |
| 7. Annual Hours Saved |
800 |
| 8. $ Saved Annually: |
$40,000 |
| 9. Payback Period (months): |
18 |
| 10. Increased Unit Capacity: |
400 |
To summarize: over a period of one year, your annual hours saved would
be 800.
You would have saved $40,000 annually.
Your payback period would be 18 months.
You would see an annual increased unit capacity of 400.
This calculation is generic example of production savings
when introducing an LPI Lift.
Please Note: Calculations do not take into account equipment depreciation
or time value of money.
