Suggested dimensions for a sturdy light weight platform is 2 feet by 7 to 8 inches by 2 feet. Platform can be covered with slip resistant material to control for slipping. Provide administrative controls to reduce the frequency of lifting. Institute two man delivery teams. Two man delivery teams will provide periods of lifting and non-lifting, two man lifting, and provide load security thus eliminating repeated bay door closure at each customer site.
Employees can rotate tasks every hour.
Two man delivery team also allows for one employee to be positioned inside the bay and hand a load to the second employee standing on the ground. This reduces the vertical distance a load is lifted by any one employee and controls extended reaches. Substitute current wood pallets with light weight plastic pallets reducing the weight lifted when restacking pallets into the truck.
