The Uplifter is a self-contained handcart that
automatically lifts and lowers packages
Product Description
Reduce bending during loading and deliveries with the Uplifter handcart. Just load packages on the automatic lift platform and the platform lowers as more weight is added. When it's time to unload, just remove packages and the Uplifter will lift your load up to waist level for easier unloading. It virtually eliminates the need for bending.
The Uplifter is an ergonomic product that addresses the root cause of back injury in the workplace and follows National Institute for Safety and Health (NIOSH) suggested practices for reducing back injury by reducing the need to bend from the waist.*
Weight settings for automatic lift and lowering are based on package weight and type. The Uplifter's weight settings can be tailored to your industry and typical applications. Weight settings are set at the factory during order fulfillment. The Uplifter's default weight settings are for the beverage distribution industry.

* NIOSH guidelines for safe lifting instruct against bending at the waist because the tremendous pressure it puts on the lumbar vertebrae. Guidelines also instruct a worker to keep his or her spine in balance by balancing shoulders and chest over the lower spine to lessen forces placed on it. The Uplifter's lifting and lowering mechanism reduces horizontal bending and allows workers to keep their spine in balance. For more on OSHA Guidelines click here.
