Stanley Handling

03/09/2026

Another busy week at Stanley, visiting surgical teams across the UK.

👇 Here’s a look back at our visit to Gloucester Hospital NHS Trust, where we demonstrated a exoskeleton to the surgical team.

For surgeons, long procedures can mean hours spent standing in static or demanding positions. Over time, this can lead to fatigue, discomfort and unnecessary strain.

An exoskeleton can provide ergonomic support where it’s needed most — helping surgeons stay comfortable and focused throughout lengthy procedures.

Whether it’s a complex operation, a lengthy case or minimally invasive surgery, the goal is simple: Support the person doing the job, so they can keep doing it at their best.

Don't just take our word for it. We’ve worked with surgeons across the UK to explore how exoskeletons can fit into real-world surgical environments.

“What really made the difference was the on-site support.”

Finding the right powered stair climber to safely move goods around a building isn't always straightforward, particularly when staircases present additional challenges.

For Business Launchpad & Tooting Works, Stanley provided multiple powered stairclimber equipment options, on-site demonstrations and practical training, helping their team find a solution they could use with confidence.

As Aiko Dayap, Senior Operations and Compliance Co-ordinator, explains:

“Their instructor came prepared with multiple equipment options, which allowed us to see and test different solutions in real time.”

And the verdict?

“Overall, our experience with Stanley has exceeded expectations.”

Aiko's full review goes into more detail about the equipment options, on-site support, training and expertise that made the process seamless.

👀Out and about with the Stanley team...

Recently the Stanley team had the pleasure of visiting this business in Sussex, who have been using an exoskeleton to help with their deliveries of exotic and rare plants from all over the world 🌵🌱

Don't forget to tag us when using one of our workplace safety solutions. We love to see our solutions being used by businesses all over the UK.

What workplace safety problems are you dealing with?

That’s the question we start with, because every workplace is different. But we see the same problems coming up again and again:

✖️People lifting and handling loads all day – putting their backs and bodies under unnecessary strain.

✖️Forklifts and pedestrians working in the same space – creating a constant risk of collision.

✖️Heavy or awkward loads being moved up and down stairs – relying on people to do a job that can put them under serious physical pressure.

✖️Ergonomic risks going unnoticed – until discomfort becomes an injury, absence and a much bigger problem for the business.

These aren’t problems that can always be solved with another piece of PPE or another safety procedure. Often, technology can help.

We look at the problem first, then find the right solution for the people, the workplace and the job.

Because better workplace safety isn’t about having the latest technology. It’s about using the right technology to solve a real problem.

Long procedures. Physical strain. A problem surgeons know all too well.

Standing for hours during surgery requires intense concentration — but the physical demands can be significant too.

✖️Long periods of standing.
✖️Static postures.
✖️Leaning and reaching.
✖️Neck, shoulder and back strain.

Over time, this physical fatigue can affect comfort, concentration and wellbeing.
So, what if surgeons could reduce some of that physical strain without changing the way they operate?
That's where exoskeleton technology is making a difference in the theatre.

At Stanley, we see first hand how ergonomic exoskeletons can support surgeons during lengthy procedures — helping to reduce muscular fatigue and physical strain while they focus on what matters most: their patients.

We spoke to cardiothoracic surgery resident, Aamir Amin, who has experienced this first-hand, after conducting a year long study at Harefield Hospital.

His research into the use of upper body exoskeletons in cardiothoracic and transplant surgery is helping to build the clinical evidence base for exoskeleton support and how it can be integrated into surgical practice without compromising precision or control.

This work, carried out under the supervision of Mr Espeed Khoshbin, provides important clinical validation for the role of ergonomic support within surgery.

Manual handling problem? There’s a safer way.

Moving heavy loads up and down stairs can put employees at risk of back injuries, strains and musculoskeletal disorders — while also slowing down your day to day operation.

The Sprinter 190 powered stair climber takes the strain out of moving items on the stairs, helping you:

✔️ Reduce manual handling risk
✔️ Move heavy loads up to 190kg safely and efficiently
✔️ Protect your people from unnecessary strain
✔️ Improve productivity and reduce handling time

If stairs are part of your everyday manual handling challenge, Stanley has a solution.

We've worked with thousands of businesses from a range of industries.

IOSH urges national focus on workplace safety.

AS THE new administration sets its priorities, IOSH says greater focus is needed on worker safety, health and wellbeing to help create a more sustainable and productive economy.

In a letter to the new Prime Minister, the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) argues that doing so would improve people’s lives, boost productivity and help future-proof the UK’s workforce.

IOSH highlights that workplace injuries and work-related ill health cost the UK economy an estimated £22.9 billion in 2023-24. Meanwhile, 1.9 million workers suffered from new or long-standing work-related ill health in 2024-25, with stress, depression and anxiety accounting for around half of all cases.

Vanessa Harwood-Whitcher, chief executive of IOSH, said: “The new Prime Minister has a significant opportunity to improve people’s lives by placing prevention at the core of government policy. Too many people continue to experience work-related illness and injury, with profound consequences for individuals, businesses and the wider economy.”

What if manual handling training isn't your biggest opportunity to reduce injuries?

Training is vital, but it only works if employees can consistently apply it in real working conditions.

The reality is that many businesses still rely on observations, paperwork and occasional assessments to understand ergonomic risk.

❔But what happens between those assessments?
❔Which tasks are creating the highest physical strain?
❔Which teams are most at risk?
❔And how do you measure whether your interventions have actually reduced that risk?

That's why more organisations are using DATA to complement traditional health and safety practices, giving them a clearer picture of where injuries are most likely to occur before they happen.

🎥 Watch the video below to see how wearable technology is helping businesses move from reactive to proactive injury prevention.
