Dear BIOMCH-L subscribers
Snook's classic psychophysical studies of manual lifting at Liberty
Mutual (Ref Snook S.H. and Ciriello V.M. (1991), "The design of manual
handling tasks: revised tables of maximum acceptable weights and
forces", Ergonomics, 34, 9, 1197-1214) used "a special device with a
rapidly moving shelf" to raise or lower back to its starting position a
box which had just been lifted or lowered onto it.
Does anyone know if or where such a device is available commercially?
I am also posting this message to the IEAWORLD list (IEAWORLD@ULKYVM.LOU
ISVILLE.EDU / LISTSERV@ULKYVM.LOUISVILLE.EDU) and will post a summary of
responses from both lists.
