Lifters and oven loaders: a strategic investment to protect your teams and boost your bakery's performance!

In a profession where the pace is intense and movements repetitive, ergonomics is not a luxury: it is an essential lever for preserving the health of your employees and ensuring consistent production.

Loading, unloading, handling trays or mats... these actions weigh heavily on a baker's day.
For a business owner concerned about the well-being of their teams, the lift-and-loader has become an indispensable piece of equipment.

Today, there are three main types: column lifts, scissor lifts, and lifts integrated into the oven. While all of them help to reduce physical strain, their benefits are not equivalent — and integrated solutions clearly stand out as the most ergonomic choice on the market.

Scissor lift: the robust but bulky choice

The scissor lift is valued for its sturdiness and ability to sustain high production rates.

Its strengths:

• Very robust
• Stable precision for large-scale production
• Suitable for heavy loads

However, it requires a significant amount of space and necessitates strict organisation of the work area.

Column lift: good ergonomics and space saving

The column lift is often chosen for its compactness. It fits easily into kitchens where every centimetre counts.

Why it remains attractive:

• Small footprint
• Smooth, linear movement
• Ideal solution for optimising space

However, it still requires significant manual coordination between the operator and the oven, and does not always guarantee optimal ergonomics in hot areas.

Integrated lift: the high-end solution for unrivalled comfort

The integrated lift represents the pinnacle of ergonomics in baking. Directly integrated into the oven, it eliminates almost all of the physical effort involved in loading the oven.

Why it is the best option:

• Perfect alignment with every batch

The system is directly connected to the oven: no adjustments, no misalignment, no risk of error or uncomfortable movements.

• Maximum reduction in physical strain

The operator no longer has to lift, push or carry: they simply guide.
Shoulders, back and wrists are spared, even during peak production.

• Enhanced safety in hot areas

Approach to the oven is controlled, distances are reduced, movements are safe.
The risk of burns or falls is significantly reduced.

• Unrivalled fluidity and speed of work

The time saved per batch adds up over the course of the day, improving consistency and overall productivity in the bakery.

• Enhanced employer image

Teams immediately feel the difference: less fatigue, less pain, more comfort.
This is a valuable asset for retaining and attracting qualified staff in a sector under pressure.

Why are managers increasingly turning to integrated lifts?

Because they offer:

• the best working comfort,
• the best safety,
• the best precision,
• the best productivity.

And because they truly transform the daily lives of bakers by eliminating the most arduous part of their job.

Each lift has its role, but if you want to offer your team the best possible ergonomics, the integrated lift is the most advanced solution.
It combines comfort, safety and efficiency in a way that column or scissor systems cannot match.
