At Lumber Buddy™ Safety is job one.

Lumber Buddy™ minimizes the need for forklifts to crisscross the yard by bringing the workstation to the worksite. This means fewer opportunities for forklift-related accidents, including collisions and tipping incidents.

Load builders often face repetitive tasks that can lead to injuries. With the Lumber Buddy™, heavy lifting and awkward positioning are minimized, reducing the likelihood of sprains, strains, and other musculoskeletal injuries. The Lumber Buddy™ has a raised platform meaning that when load builders DO need to handstack - they are in a position to do so in a way that more ergonomic and with less strain.

Traditional stationary banding stations force workers to move back and forth across the yard, increasing the risk of trips, slips, and falls. By keeping tools and supplies at the point of use, Lumber Buddy™ reduces unnecessary movement and associated hazards.

Lumber Buddy™’s design ensures secure banding and wrapping of loads on-site, reducing the risk of unstable or improperly secured loads that could shift or fall during transport.

The wing extensions on the Lumber Buddy™ allow forklift drivers to drive at a lower height without material bending or dragging on the ground. This improves visibility while driving decreasing the risk of accidents with the forklift while protecting material.

Incorporating Lumber Buddy™ into your yard operations also provides an opportunity to train your team on proper tool usage and safety protocols. It’s not just a tool—it’s part of a smarter, safer way to work.
