Easton Lean Tools introduces first two-hand safety device with instant height adjustment
However, these devices are commonly rigidly fixed to the machines they control so workers of different heights are using controls locked at one level. The result can be unnecessary strain on backs, arms and other areas of the body. OpGuard helps reduce strains by adding a flexible arm to the two-‐hand controls, enabling operators to quickly reposition their controls to an ergonomic height.
