Compact Material Handling
Compact material handling devices are small and portable enough to work in office or tight storeroom environments. These lifting and carrying devices have platforms that are variable heights. Activation of the horizontal lifting surface is typically powered by batteries, hydraulic foot pumps, or hand cranks. Ball transfer tables may be added to the horizontal-lifting surface. This reduces the push and pull force needed to move materials to and from the lifting device. Products from this category help individuals with lifting or carrying restrictions resulting from back, neck, shoulder, heart, and various repetitive strain injuries.

Ergonomic and Pneumatic Tools
Individuals with neck, back, shoulder, and upper extremity limitations may benefit from using ergonomic hand and power tools. Ergonomic hand tool designs allow users to maintain neutral postures while minimizing wrist deviations. Users also have an easier time keeping shoulders relaxed by using lightweight tools. Mechanical stressors such as misaligned finger grooves, sharp edges, and single finger triggers should be avoided. Vibration from the tool should be minimized, and heavier tools can be suspended from tool balancers when possible. Spring loaded returns on tools such as scissors and pliers are also a part of good ergonomic design.

Proper Lifting Techniques
Following proper lifting techniques is important for minimizing strain on the body. Proper lifting techniques involve using the legs and hips to lift rather than the back. People with limitations in lifting need to be especially aware of proper lifting techniques. Use of team lifting is also important in the event of lifting and carrying heavy objects. For more information on proper lifting practices, see OSHA's Materials Handling: Heavy Lifting Guide.
