Save your BACK! Lift and Move
Boxes with Lift Mates Products!
Lift Mates make moving boxes quick and easy! Back support is accomplished, by reducing the sheer and compression forces on the spine. Inexpensive, yet effective, lifting equipment and tools were virtually impossible to find until now. Lift Mates lifting tools are inexpensive and proven effective. No more twisting or stretching to get under the box. Lift boxes with only one hand! Let your legs do the lifting, not your back. Have handles on every box you lift.
The Solo Lift allows a box to be lifted and carried with only one hand! No prior preparation of the box is needed. Simply grab the box using the Solo Lift and lift the box. The box is carried at your side allowing you to see what is front of you such as a curb, puddle or step. You also have one hand free to open doors, press elevator buttons or hold handrails.
The Dual Lift allows the user to keep their shoulders level and back straight while lifting boxes. No more tilting and twisting to lift a box. The ability to lift boxes properly is greatly enhanced allowing the legs to do the lifting. The box is lifted more quickly, and held closer to the body saving time and effort.
LIFT MATESTM NEW PRODUCTS SHOULD TRANSFORM HOW BOXES ARE LIFTED, STACKED AND DELIVERED!
First Ergonomic Solution Delivering Actual Reductions In Back Injuries Launched By Lift Mates.
CARMEL, CA—September 19, 2002—Lift Mates, Inc. announced today initial shipment of Dual Lifttm and Solo Lifttm, patented new products that revolutionize how boxes can be lifted, stacked and delivered. The new products are expected to bring significant relief to the troubled $90 billion workers’ compensation industry where back injury costs continue to skyrocket. Lifting activities for disabled Americans also will be made easier and safer.
According to Mark Almond, Lift Mates President and CEO: “Research has been unable to document the benefits of commonly used personal protective equipment, such as back belts, even though businesses where lifting boxes is part of the job have widely embraced them. More effective injury prevention products have not been available or affordable until now. A growing body of science supports the concepts and function behind Lift Mates products.”
“We are pleased to provide the first successful and affordable solution. Dual Lift and Solo Lift are tools actually changing the basic biomechanics and physical stress of lifting boxes. These tools deliver increased efficiency, better productivity and competitive advantage for businesses adopting Lift Mates as part of their ergonomic programs.”
William S. Marras, Ph.D., CPE, Professor and Director of the Biodynamics Laboratory at The Ohio State University states “Materials handling continues to represent one of the major risk factors associated with low back disorders. Recent biomechanical studies 1 have shown that hand placement during container lifting can have a significant impact on the magnitude and nature of spine loading. Proper use of the Lift Mates product is consistent with research indicating that one can significantly lower the magnitudes of loads imposed upon the spine through proper placement of handles 1 . The literature 2, 3 also suggests that the cumulative benefit of proper hand placement throughout the workday would be substantial in reducing risk."
Dual Lift gives every box a pair of handles. Research4 has shown handles reduce the effective weight of a box by approximately 4.5 KGS. The Dual Lift also allows a box to be lifted correctly and eliminates the need to twist the back and tilt the shoulders to lift a box. This patented device does away with the need to ‘get under the box’ or stretch for the distant corners of a box. Simply “clap” this lifting tool into the top portion of a box, and straighten your legs to lift.
Solo Lift creates a single handle and allows a user to lift and carry a box with one hand, freeing up the other hand. A free hand allows the user to hold a handrail, open or close doors, fend off dogs etc. The Solo Lift also allows the box to be carried at ones side, which enables the user to see directly in front of them. Foot traffic obstacles such as curbs, steps, puddles or ice can now easily be seen and avoided.
Physicians and medical practitioners have been quick to embrace Lift Mates new products. For example, Dr. Don Lewis, a Las Vegas Chiropractor, says: “Preventive maintenance for patients with back conditions who do lifting activity in their jobs or at home always required shutting that activity down. Lift Mates offers patients a tool that enables them to do sensible lifting, while reducing the risk of further injury. This benefits my practice and my patients.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control, work-related musculoskeletal disorders cost the economy at least $13 billion every year, a substantial proportion of which are back injuries. Research clearly demonstrates specific interventions can reduce the reported rate of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly for workers who perform high-risk tasks. Most industries consider interventions expensive and adoption of preventive strategies has been sporadic. Lift Mates new products are poised to make intervention profitable by strengthening companies’ ability to lower back injury rates, with remarkably little investment.
