At WorkSafe Products we try to act as a consultant to large organization’s safety teams to help them find the right product for a particular situation. To do this we partner with some of the best manufacturers of ergonomic products giving us a wide range of solutions to help our clients.
In the case of Safe Patient Handling products, we use only one manufacturer for patient lifts. We believe that EZ Way, a manufacturer headquartered in Iowa, makes some of the best patient transfer devices on the market today. Their products are very well built making them safer and they stay in service longer making them very cost effective.
According to EZ Way: “We pride ourselves on manufacturing commercial grade equipment that will stand up to repeated use over many years. We think you will find that our products, when averaged over their lifetime of use, are very economical. In addition, our products are built to last longer than most on the market. We’ve completed a total cost of ownership study conducted with six active facilities that exclusively use EZ Way equipment. This study tracked the total cost of ownership of specific units, including the initial equipment purchase as well the cost of replacement parts. The total cost (initial purchase and parts combined) was divided by the number of years the equipment was in use, at the time of the study, to determine an annual ‘cost of ownership.’”
What they found: Lowest TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) is $250/year (including parts) for a lift which has been used in the field for 20 years (and they can last that long!). Average TCO for a 15-year life cycle was $370 (including initial purchase and parts).
Depreciation advantage; if the normal accounting practice is to depreciate this equipment at 5 or 7 years, you have additional years of service available with these units at minimal cost to you. No need to purchase an Extended Warranty. Your maintenance department will see minimal need for repair, which they can do themselves with assistance from our technical support team, though a “Service Contract” is always available.
Some additional thoughts we’d like you to consider:
- The equipment is delivered complete and ready to go, no assembly required.
- The EZ Way Smart Stands provide both pivot-transfer and ambulation capabilities, something other competitors might not be able to provide.
- In-servicing/Training is provided at no charge for Smart Lifts for the life of the equipment. Other manufacturers and distributers charge for this service. Our field staff becomes a motivating driver to keep your staff using your EZ Way equipment.
- We manufacture here in the USA and have had a business presence for over 100 years
According to our customers with multiple brands of lifts in their facilities, their EZ Lifts are their “go to” patient lift because they know the EZ Lift will always be working!
