Here at Hupfer, we believe in ergonomic solutions for healthy working. In the research, design and manufacture stages of creating our products, we understand how important it is to tailor each individual product to its operator, and ergonomics should be a crucial factor in every product and environment created.
Physical stress and strain such as lifting and carrying, walking long distances, as well as hazards such as cumbersome equipment and hot steam, can quickly lead to stress, pain and overall work dissatisfaction. By creating better products which take into account all these struggles, we can create more efficient workplaces and happy employees.
Making equipment easier to use
The kitchen is the true heart of any restaurant, and implementing ergonomic solutions in a commercial kitchen setting can streamline workflow, increase productivity and help staff in the kitchen by minimising movement and strain. By making equipment easier to use, staff in the kitchen will enjoy what they do more and keep every process running smoothly, which in turn, will ensure all meals being prepared are of the highest quality.
Here at Hupfer, we think about a range of factors when we’re creating our products, from the physical and psychological benefits to the organisational. As a result, we’ve managed to create a whole variety of catering equipment that works in unison with the operator.
Ergonomically optimised kitchens
By creating an ergonomically optimised kitchen, physical strains and stress can be significantly reduced. Hupfer offers a wide range of ergonomic solutions that allow kitchen staff to work in a manner that preserves their health and helps them work with a correct posture, and also helps to create a kitchen environment staff can thrive in.
The ergonomic advantages of our products often lie in the detail, such as longer push handles, additional rollers and extra wide opening angles. Get to know Hupfer's solutions for healthy working below!
Hupfers ergonomic catering equipment
Serving trolleys
Our ergonomic serving trolleys include our general purpose trolleys and heavy-duty general purpose trolleys. Our trolleys are truly smooth-running models even when loaded with up to 180kg in our heavy-duty models. With a fifth, centrally positioned fixed castor and ergonomically shaped push handle, supplies can be particularly easy to manoeuvre, even around tight corners.
Adjustable work tables
Hupfer work tables can be adapted to different body heights at the push of a button. Equipment such as our mobile portioning table boast a hydraulic height adjustment system to cater for the needs of any operator. This system ensures that the tables are cleverly adjustable by up to 30 cm. The currently selected working height can be easily seen on the digital display.
Therma Dry
The Therma Dry by Hupfer revolutionises the serving of hot food, using infrared heat to keep the food hot without any water at all. This means there is no reaching into hot steam. The ergonomically designed loading flap ensures that GN containers can be easily pushed in from the front – even with only one free hand.
