Which planter to choose to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)?
The Glaser hand planter is a high-quality Swiss tool designed to meet the needs of professional vegetable growers. Made of stainless steel, it offers exceptional durability and enhanced resistance to demanding working conditions.
Ergonomic design and increased efficiency
This dibber stands out for its right-angle design, which keeps the wrist in a natural position during transplanting. This ergonomic design reduces fatigue and joint strain, making it easier to handle long planting sessions. Its 55 x 120 mm stainless steel blade ensures easy penetration into even compact soil and is resistant to acids found in the soil, guaranteeing a long service life.
Proven durability and reliability
We’ve been using this planting tool on our farm for over 12 years, and it has proven to be remarkably durable. Unlike other similar tools, it is assembled with screws rather than welded, which minimizes the risk of breakage and extends its lifespan.
Tailored to the needs of professionals
The Glaser planting trowel is specially designed to fit standard planting holes, enabling quick and precise transplanting. Weighing 0.31 kg and featuring a 100 mm long powder-coated handle, it offers a comfortable grip and optimal maneuverability.
Prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
Market gardeners are particularly prone to musculoskeletal disorders due to repetitive motions, awkward postures, and working on the ground. The use of ergonomic tools such as the Glaser dibber significantly helps reduce these risks. By keeping the wrist in a neutral position and reducing the effort required to penetrate the soil, this dibber limits strain on joints, muscles, and tendons. It is thus part of an approach to prevent chronic fatigue, tendonitis, and lower back pain, which are common among market gardeners.
An essential tool for vegetable farming
In short, the Glaser stainless steel hand planter is a reliable, ergonomic, and durable tool, ideal for professional vegetable growers and discerning gardeners. Its thoughtful design and high-quality materials make it a wise investment for improving efficiency and comfort while planting.
