Professionals and Waterworks

What’s important when a professional comes to a property to tackle a plumbing problem or diagnose water and sewer infrastructure?

Well, their experience is important, as people will often tell you. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people to really look critically at somebody who shows up and isn’t completely qualified to deal with their water or sewer problem.

But another component of this is involved access.

It’s like one of our technicians said recently. When you go to the property, you need systems to be accessible. That means that key appliances and parts of systems should not have other items sitting on top of them. It means that a meter or other access point should not be walled off by a heaping mountain of junk. And it also means that the taps and endpoints of the system need to be able to open and close the right way.

In a way, this goes back to the idea of people saying that certain kinds of utility and contracting work are mainly a question of logistics. There is a step-by-step process that has to be followed, and tools that you need in order to get there.

Another way to think about it is that this work is not just a question of opinion. Mechanical systems respond to very specific interventions in a way that is foreign to some kinds of white-collar industries or types of knowledge work.

So having the right tools is critically important.

Our Catalog

There’s a phenomenon in this industry where metal pieces can fuse together in ways that make it difficult to open and close valves or other access points.

Here we offer high-quality actuator systems along with things like drive plates and adapters. When you look through our catalog, you can see how the durable metal cap plate and pin designs create the torque necessary to move pieces.

We also offer a range of transportation-related equipment like dollies and hand trucks. All of it comes with a standard, and a guarantee of quality. So take a look around – we think you’ll like what you see – and contact Eze-Turn for what you need for industrial and professional work. Be confident when you roll out to a property that you’ll have the tools to get into the systems that you need access to – so that the work can be done to everyone’s satisfaction, on schedule and on task!

The Pickle Jar: The Value of Ergonomic Tools

The Pickle Jar: The Value of Ergonomic Tools

Why have we created this top-class set of industrial tools for businesses that do the tough jobs in the communities that they serve?

Follow us a little bit – as we go to an analogy that makes sense for investing in these types of tools and resources.

Say you’re going to open a pickle jar with nothing but your bare hands.

If the seal isn’t tight and the jar isn’t under pressure, there’s no problem. But a pressurized seal creates all sorts of problems for the human body.

It’s not just one single isolated problem of excessive torque on your wrist. There’s also the motion of the arms relative to the body. Wrenching or straining is a common problem with these types of physical tasks.

In other words, there are many ways to create repetitive stress injuries when trying to work with excessive torque problems. Good business leaders understand that, and they try to eliminate these “pain points” of whatever team members are likely to be out doing in the field, again and again.

Valve Tools and More

Our portable valve actuator is an excellent example of how this works.

By providing the leverage that someone needs to turn a valve head or other piece of infrastructure, we are helping the company to greatly decrease the stress on the human body, and by extension, decrease liability.

Many of these industrial and utility systems are presenting higher-stakes outcomes than someone trying to open a pickle jar. The pressures that are involved can be significant! That’s part of what leads to a broader focus on how to protect workers with PPE and more.

Other Amenities

It’s also instructive to take a look at our entire catalog, and think about other tools like drive plates, and transport assistors like dollies or wheeled vehicles.

Whether it’s tightening something like a bolt or fastener, or moving heavy materials from one place to another, the potential stress and strain on the human body is still there.

People with frontline experience will often talk about how smart companies make the investment in the practical tools that increase productivity, and decrease the chance of work-related injury.

Businesses that like to pinch pennies have done this at their own peril, and seen the results.

So take a look at our catalog and everything that we offer for driving better business today and keeping your crews in action. We are proud to be on the right side of this equation – the problem-solving side!
