About Presto

Presto manufactures lifts, tilters, and positioners for ergonomic industrial operations. Their equipment reduces ergonomic injury risk under OSHA Section 5(a)(1) (the General Duty Clause) and pays back ROI through reduced workers' comp claims, fewer injury-related absences, and increased throughput from less-fatigued workers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ROI on a Presto lift table for a packaging or assembly station?

Typical ROI is 8–14 months in operations where workers lift 200+ items per shift from low pallet height. Calculation: a single back injury averages $40,000–$70,000 in workers' comp + lost time. A Presto lift table with proper height adjustment eliminates the lift-from-floor motion entirely. For multi-station deployments, the math works strongly in favor of the equipment.

What is the OSHA basis for ergonomic lifting equipment?

OSHA Section 5(a)(1), the General Duty Clause, requires employers to provide a workplace "free from recognized hazards." Repetitive heavy lifting is a recognized hazard documented by OSHA and NIOSH. Lift tables, tilters, and positioners are recognized engineering controls. While there is no specific OSHA standard requiring lift tables, employers using them demonstrate compliance with the General Duty Clause for known ergonomic hazards.
