DICA TuffGrip Handle System Promotes Jobsite Safety
The DICA TuffGrip Handle System was first introduced to the market in 2011. Their goal was to help improve long term durability and provide an increased level of ergonomic safety for users during operation. The TuffGrip system features a smaller handle length, but that’s intentionally designed to encourage proper lifting that requires bending and lifting with the legs. We have enough aches and pains without adding back pain from improper lifting techniques. The handle length and recessed nature help minimize trip threats on the job site. When carrying DICA SafetyTech Outrigger Pads to and from the point on use, the handle also reduces the flopping around of the pad.
DICA’s C-shaped or U-shaped TuffGrip handles can be used with any size or shape of DICA SafetyTech Outrigger Pads and recently received their third US patent back in February.
“DICA’s SafetyTech products are designed to be strong and unbreakable, delivering the consistent engineered performance that our customers and their crews rely on every day. We are very happy to have received this new patent, which is reflective of the thinking, design and engineering our team puts into every DICA product.”
