Having used the ImageLifter™ trolley for just a few days, funeral staff will wonder how they ever managed without it. "it just makes the job so much easier and safer, often reducing the number of staff required for coffin and casket movement." (See Testimonials)
The quest for the ultimate "lifting tool of the trade" became a full time obsession for former Funeral Director, Von Karpinski with the forming of GMS Innovation Pty Ltd., to provide the industry with the ultimate answer that would "Give Me Strength."
The result is the ImageLifter™, the ultimate scissor lift trolley for the Funeral, Mortuary,
Crematorium and Allied Health industries.
Every consideration of funeral industry safety, mortuary and crematorium working environments has been considered in this push button lifting trolley; from hygiene, OHS&W, (Occupational Health Safety and Welfare) requirements, ease of manoeuverability, sturdiness, maintenance, aesthetics and emerging funeral industry trends, to really provide the “muscle” required to make the whole process of transferring & lifting coffins and caskets less strenuous overall. The superior performance of the ImageLifter™ scissor lift trolley will meet your lifting requirements in the mortuary, chapel, crematoria and for viewing purposes. These sturdy funeral trolleys simply cannot be compared with regular church trucks.
With the Designer Panels attached the ImageLifter™ funeral trolley is transformed
into an elegant platform for viewing of the deceased.
With the addition of the Designer Panels the ImageLifter™ scissor lift trolley is quickly transformed into a professional & appropriately elegant platform for viewing the deceased. The panels can be quickly fitted by one person to instantly transform the trolley into a chapel bier or cataphalque, with no additional transfers, and no more dressing of trolleys with material. The deceased can be viewed in a dignified manner, providing you with the opportunity to meet the increasing funeral industry trend for a more personalised funeral service, and memorialisation possibilities. Viewing of the deceased in alternative locations and with minimum transfers becomes an instant possibility, allowing you to meet family personalisation requirements easily.
The ImageLifter™ linear actuated trolley offers 250kg of lifting force at the push of a button. It eliminates the need for manual pumping and provides users with a safe, clean, powered lift that is accurate, smooth and quiet and suited for areas where hydraulics should not be used. ImageLifter™ scissor lift trolleys use a linear actuator and a patented battery system that can power up to 150 lifts per day depending on use. The large diameter, low friction lockable castors make the ImageLifter™ scissor lift trolleys easy to move in any direction, ideal for funeral and mortuary use, with lockable top rollers allowing the coffin or casket to be easily moved in any direction by one person, with the security and ease of a push button locking mechanism.
"The quality, suitability and reliability of our funeral industry products is reflected in the superior quality of all aspects of our products & service. We understand the special requirements of the Funeral & Allied Health industry and look forward to extending our service to you."
Von Karpinski MD., GMS Innovation Pty Ltd.
In a general conversation a Funeral Home Manager was asked about funeral directors he knew of with back problems, his response was,
“show me a funeral director and I’ll show you a bad back”.
“moving and lifting coffins and caskets is a process that is carried out many times throughout the day and an effective scissor lift trolley that can lift 250kg is an essential asset for any funeral or mortuary worker”
It makes good business and financial sense to protect your staff from heavy lifting and prevent workplace injuries.
“Every year in NSW alone, approximately 17,000 people are seriously injured or suffer from illness related to manual handling. This represents about 37% of all injuries in NSW with an average cost of $22,000 per injury” (NSW Government, WorkCover NSW) For more information go to www.workcover.nsw.gov.au
