Ergonomic Benefits Shine at TCI Expo
DICA showcased popular products for arborists and tree care professionals at TCI Expo in November in Indianapolis, Ind. The conference and trade show is hosted by the Tree Care Industry Association, and is the world’s largest tree care industry conference and trade show. The conference featured more than 40 education sessions and over 210 exhibitors. Attendees include arborists, crew leaders, climbers, equipment operators, and ground workers.
According to the Tree Care Industry Association, “More than half of TCIA’s commercial tree care company members report that they regularly use cranes for tree removals.” Best practices for cranes, aerial devices, and digger derricks includes assessing and overcoming poor ground conditions.
“Attendees were impressed by the ergonomic features of DICA’s products that help reduce the risks associated with manual lifting and handling,” said Kerry Koberg, Strategic Accounts Director of DICA. DICA’s featured products included SafetyTech Outrigger Pads, FiberTech Outrigger Pads, FiberMax Crane Pads, and AlturnaMATS Ground Protection Mats.
