What is a Jam Break Tool?
Although it looks like a shepherd's hook, you won't see Bo Peep carrying one tending her flock. A Jam Break Tool is used for dislodging items or parcels that may have become jammed or lodged in sorting systems. Jam Break Tools can be attached to poles of varying lengths to grab packages from just about anywhere and easily free it from the system.
Why Do I Need Jam Break Tools?
If you work in any industry where parcels, packages, letters, boxes are being sorted or conveyed automatically, you need a Jam Break Tool to easily free jams without straining employees’ backs or damaging the package. This tool allows you to free jams without costly downtime.
