This blog post explores labor efficiency for concrete contractors utilizing laser-guided concrete screeds.
Manual screeding can be physically demanding. By using a machine, the physical strain is significantly reduced, lowering the risk of fatigue and injury for workers. A screeding machine flattens and levels concrete, alleviating the need for laborers to exert themselves excessively. Additionally, a laser-guided concrete screed enhances work conditions by allowing laborers to maintain healthier hours and staggered start times, avoiding overtime. For instance, instead of everyone starting at 3 or 4 a.m. and working through the afternoon, different groups can begin at staggered times—some at 3 or 4 a.m., others at 5 a.m., and another group at 6 a.m. Laser-guided concrete screeds do not replace jobs.
By implementing staggered start times, laborers can work a healthier number of hours without the burnout associated with overtime. This approach helps them stay well-rested and more alert during their shifts. When workers aren’t fatigued, they are more aware of their surroundings, reducing the risk of injuries to themselves and their fellow laborers. With better hydration and alertness, laborers are less likely to strain muscles or accidentally strike others with tools.
Laser-guided screed machines are designed to be user-friendly. All of Ligchine’s models are operated using a remote or joysticks, making them easy to learn. The learning process is straightforward, and all territory managers provide training for buyers before the purchase!
