This donation is a direct investment in the future of the industry, equipping the next generation of professionals with the best tools for their education and, most importantly, for their safety.

The Manhole Buddy: Revolutionizing Manhole Work

The Manhole Buddy isn't just any tool; it was specifically designed and developed with worker safety in mind. It directly addresses the "back-breaking labor" municipal workers often endure when manually raising and lowering heavy manhole castings. This innovative tool offers an easy, fast, and significantly safer way to accomplish this demanding task.

Traditional methods often lead to improper body mechanics and a high risk of on-the-job injuries. The Manhole Buddy mitigates these risks, helping to prevent painful and costly injuries by eliminating the need for brute force. In fact, it's the only tool currently manufactured that completely removes the reliance on physical strength for this job. An added benefit? Using the Manhole Buddy often means fewer workers are needed to complete the same task, boosting efficiency and safety on site.

Why This Matters for Central Lakes College Students

By donating the Manhole Buddy to CLC, Safely Elevate is ensuring that students in the heavy equipment program are trained on the latest, safest, and most efficient technologies available. They'll gain hands-on experience with a tool that:

  • Prioritizes worker safety: Learning proper techniques from the start.

  • Boosts efficiency: Understanding how to do more with less labor.

  • Represents industry innovation: Being prepared for the future of heavy equipment work.

This commitment reflects our belief in supporting the development of highly skilled, safety-conscious professionals who will undoubtedly shape the future of the heavy equipment industry. We're excited to see the impact this will have on their learning journey and future careers.
