Lifting boxes can be back friendly

CARMEL, Calif. — Lift Mates has launched an ergonomically sound product the company says will simplify lifting, stacking and delivering boxes.

The Dual Lift and Solo Lift are expected to bring significant relief to workers’ compensation where the number of back injuries continues to soar.

The Dual Lift gives every box a pair of handles, which reduce the effective weight of a box by approximately 4.5kg. It also eliminates the need to twist the back and tilt the shoulders to life a box by placing a device into the top of the box and straightening the legs to lift.

The Solo Lift creates a single handle, which can be used with one hand, freeing up the other hand to hold a railing or guardrail. With this product the box can be carried at one’s side allowing for a clear view of the walking path.
