A Little Wisdom Helps You Become Smarter !

In the video, workers unload empty 250cm-diameter cable reels from a truck by pushing them onto wooden boards laid on concrete. While recycling scrap metal (steel frames) and wood is necessary, this risky method causes structural damage and safety hazards.

Key Risks:

① Bent frames lower scrap value by 30-50%

② Falling reels may injure workers (OSHA reports 12% warehouse accidents involve improper unloading)

③ Wooden board fragments could become projectiles

Better Methods (No Heavy Machinery Needed):

Ramp & Roll: Use angled planks (45°) with rope braking

Team Rotation: 3 workers per reel - 2 guide, 1 stabilize

Tire Cushioning: Stack old tires as impact buffers

Leverage Tools: Pry bars to control descent speed

Pro Tip: Intact steel rings sell for 80-120/unit vs.35-50 as scrap - preservation matters !
