Makinex Products Helping Essential Businesses Fight COVID-19
Makinex has taken many of its products and developed new ways of using them as the country adapts to shelter-in-place restrictions as a result of COVID-19.
“During these unprecedented times, Makinex has looked at solutions we can provide to our customers, to assist with their day to day activities safely and effectively,” said Bill Marshall, vice president of sales and marketing. “With our existing range of innovative equipment, we have seen a new type of usage for our products and are proud to be part of flattening the curve.”
Here are how companies around the world are repurposing the Makinex product line during COVID-19:
• Hose 2 Go units are being used as portable hand-washing stations to provide ready-to-go water for use at testing sites, warehouses, rental companies, and personal use. The portable water unit has no pump, no electrics, and no batteries, so it can be used anywhere, at any time. WATCH HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_Xk4z7sr4Q
• With the new CDC guidelines, the Powered Hand Truck allows companies that are working with skeleton crews and practicing social distancing at six feet to have a one-person solution for getting equipment in and out of customers’ trucks safely and effectively. The Powered Hand Truck is an award-winning safety product that allows one person to load and unload materials up to 309lbs. WATCH HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_jb8y8Xlu4
