Electric Hand Truck Safety

Electric powered hand trucks are a great innovation that can prevent back injuries, besides for increasing worker productivity. These powered hand trucks are great for moving cargo on a flat area but are even more important when going up and down ramps that are common on all tractor trailers.
When going up it is obvious why it will help you-saving you the manpower and elbow grease to lug the cargo up, but believe it or not it is even more important when going down.
Most injuries in these scenarios actually more commonly occur on the descent, in a situation that you have a heavy load-say a thousand pounds. Picture yourself going down a ramp with that kind of weight, then trying to stop it midway to answer your cell phone. Forget about it! Even if you tried it you will be all over the place and can very well sustain a back injury so invest wisely and you will more than recoup the investment you put out, which can run from $3,000 to $5,000.
