Truck Mechanics Platform Addressing Back Injury

Problem

Back injury and muscle strain with insecure footing forced off balance positioning and disallowed truck engine repair tasks.

Issue

The injury caused the inability of mechanic to bend forward for work tasks or to lift engine components. Inability to work effectively. Severe pain at forward lean posture.

Solution

Specialized moveable platform for stable footing allows control of body position enabling all repair tasks. Stand-up capability for maneuverability/storage. Jib crane adaptable.

Result

Full-time return-to-work without pain exacerbation. Enables movement of components via jib crane from the engine compartment to workbench and back without lifting.
