How Are Manual And Mechanical Aids Used To Lift And Carry Loads?

There are manual and mechanical aids which are used to carry and lift loads at factories or other work places where loads have to be carrier by either worker manually or with the help of machines. Manual aids include training of workers to lift and carry loads to minimize back an shoulder injury and distress. Most factories are now looking at ways to mechanize the load lifting and carrying processes so to avoid manual handling of loads. This is sometimes done by redesigning the task of lifting and carrying. Mechanical aids like hoists and trolleys are being provided as mechanical aids for lifting as much as possible to reduce the risk of injury that manhandling of loads cause.

Other mechanical aids include the pneumatic lift trolley which raises the load to desk height so it is easy to lift and wheeled platforms to move the loads from place to place.
