Testimonial & Case Study
Milgard Manufacturing Inc. Tacoma USA
A Statement from Milgard Health & Safety Director:
"As one of the largest window and door manufacturers and installers in the US with eleven manufacturing sites across the Western States, including Canada, we pride ourselves in delivering best customer care and employee working practices.
Over the past year we have reviewed our Environmental Health & Safety site install practices and have now, following extensive field trials, adopted the Eazi Lifter window hoist from Harnser Solutions Inc to provide a safe and easy method of lifting windows.
We have invested heavily in this product, providing the Eazi Lifter hoist kit for each install and service team. Our approach has been to stipulate the use of the Eazi Lifter on all installs where the window to be lifted exceeds 25lbs, typically a 3ft x 3ft unit.
As an employer of installation personnel we experience as others in the industry numerous incidents of injury resulting from carrying heavy windows up through buildings or up ladders.
We are confident such incidents will be significantly reduced in number by using this equipment. There will be no need to lift and carry heavy products, as the Eazi Lifter will raise them up to the fitting position with the minimum of effort.
In addition, the use of the Eazi Lifter will bring about many other savings and benefits with our install teams being less fatigued at the end of a working week and able to enjoy a better quality of life with their families.
We would like to thank the team at Harnser Solutions Inc for bringing this truly innovative product to market. It will without doubt save many lives and countless number of injuries which would otherwise produce untold family hardship resulting from the wage earner's inability to carry on working.
As a company we will benefit from reduced injury compensation claims, significantly improved productivity, enhanced staff retention and motivation and reduced labor costs incurred in the process of recruitment, selection and training.
As a final comment we also recognise the value of this product to our customers.
The Eazi Lifter will significantly reduce incidents of damage to both the product and the customer's property both on installs and service calls which might otherwise result in compensation claims.
This approach reflects Milgard's E.S&H and Customer Care policies, staying at the forefront by adopting the best available working practice for the benefit of all concerned."
