Removing the strain for hand truck operators
January 1st 2007

The latest ErgoLine hand trucks from Maingate incorporate the patented EasyTip system which lets the truck user use bodyweight rather than muscles to raise, lower and control the truck.

The system is said to be easy to use and totally intuitive. The user simply places one foot on the EasyTip lever; then, as he/she leans bodyweight onto it, that weight (rather than muscles) provided the counterweight necessary to maintain complete control of the truck, and does so without any muscle strain.

The company says that lab tests have shown that the EasyTip system can reduce by up to 90% the physical effort needed to operate a hand truck.

Consequently, operations are faster and more efficient, operators suffer less fatigue and less injury.
