Making the environment of a factory or a warehouse is a difficult job. What has made it easy to do is the application of ergonomic engineering in the development of material handling equipments. Safer environment and productive workforce are the other two outcomes that have resulted from the use of advanced scissor lifts. It has boosted not only the ergonomic efficiency of workplaces where the task is to deal with heavy objects but also the working flexibility of the workers. Counter balance lift truck is another material handling equipment to help achieve these positive outcomes. Scissor lifts are of several different forms that are put to use for various tasks. Pallet shifters nike air force 1 07 mid scontate , the kinds of a scissor lift are somewhat raised platforms to make access to the higher shelves easy. It is an application of simple technology to boost accessibility. The standard pallet tool is a most widely used material handler. The design of this miniature forklift device is aimed at moving a single pallet from one place to the other and raising it off the floor without the use of a powered forklift. Counter balance lift truck too is of different forms. Pallet server is a more advanced form of the pallet jack. It is an intermediate between a full forklift and the jack. Using it is safe and secure. Such scissor lifts can efficiently carry as much as weight of 4000lb. The application of a scissor lift is manifested in the use of tables and workbenches. A massive and bulky object can easily be handled by utilizing the efficiency of these material handling tools and the flexible working environment that using those tools has resulted in. The height of scissor lifts is adjustable in order to facilitate working at different degree of accessibility to the higher shelves. Reducing the stress and time, it boosts workflow. A scissor lift with an adjustable work bench makes a work platform. Instead of moving an object itself, it lifts the worker to let him access the high up areas. It makes working with large structures like buses and trucks comfortable. The use of scissor lifts is an influence on the ergonomics of a workplace. It ensures the ease of pace at which workers can perform their duties to benefit the organization. The work efficiency of workers now depends on the functional efficiency of these material handlers. Similar is the case of counter balance lift truck, thanks to turnaround times.

Eason Chan visits Beijing to promote his latest album. Photos by Zong Hong China Daily Twenty years after hitting the big time, Eason Chan reigns unchallenged. Chen Nan reports.
In the 1980s and 1990s Hong Kong held huge sway over the music markets of the mainland, Taiwan and other parts of Asia with its Cantopop nike air force 1 07 alte scontate , four of its best-known exponents being Aaron Kwok, Jacky Cheung, Leon Lai and Andy Lau, who came to be known as the Four Heavenly Kings.
But these days the volume has well and truly been turned down on Cantopop as music tastes worldwide continue to diversify, and the four kings have given way to a sole sovereign, Eason Chan nike air force 1 07 scontate , dubbed the King of Cantopop. In fact, Chan is just about the only Cantopop singer these days who might be considered anything like a global phenomenon.
Every year, Chan, who has more than 15 million followers on his Sina Weibo account, releases one Cantonese album, one Mandarin album and begins a world tour.
His latest Cantonese album nike air force 1 nere bianche scontate , Getting Ready, was released a fortnight ago, and Chan, 40, came to Beijing to promote it.
At a news conference, wearing a white T-shirt emblazoned with the declaration "I give up wasting paper" and a pair of loose blue pants nike air force 1 nere mid scontate , he said that putting out a Cantonese album once a year has become a tradition for him, even as the Cantopop market continues to shrink, and many Hong Kong singers do a voice change, singing in Mandarin to add to their appeal in the mainland market.
"To the listener the sound of Cantonese lyrics is unique," Chan says. "You can easily identify a Coldplay song in the same way you can identify an Eason Chan Cantonese song."
It may have been that uniqueness that helped Chan win the top two awards-best Mandarin album and best Mandarin male singer-for his last Mandarin album, Rice & Shine nike air force 1 nere basse scontate , at the annual Taiwan Golden Melody Awards, akin to the Grammy Awards, in June.
In Beijing Chan spoke of the time in which Getting Ready had its genesis, saying the album was the fruit of a year in which he faced considerable professional difficulties.
His manager, who for Chan was a mother figure, retired nike air force 1 nere scontate , leaving the singer with the difficult task of finding a replacement. In addition, Chan says, he had been touring internationally for about seven years and he felt he needed a good break.
If all that were not enough, he was dissatisfied with the lyrics he was presented for the new album.
"Now things are falling into place and I am ready to move on to the next stage of my career and my life," Chan says.
Lyrics for the album's 10 tracks, among which are Unconditional nike air force 1 bianche basse scontate , The Halloween Nightmare and Monologue From One Soul, were written by the Hong Kong lyricist Yuen Leung-poon.
The Hong Kong singer-actor Nicholas Tse, a longtime friend of Chan, wrote one of the songs for the album, Origin Destination.
One of Chan's favorite songs, Life and Marathon nike air force 1 bianche mid scontate , was inspired by his wife, Hilary Tsui, a former actress who is a regular participant in the annual Hong Kong Marathon.
"It's a metaphor, comparing life with a marathon," Chan says. "The result doesn't really matter. It's about the passion you have."
