Solution: deliver for all stakeholders - the user, management and OHS. By improving the user experience - making it easier By improving productivity (management) - making it quicker By de-risking the task (OHS) - making it safe all key stakeholders have a vested interest in adopting the solution.

- 26. ROTATRUCK EASE BACK HANDTRUCK PULL BACK Easier pull-back effort and no need to stop at waypoints. Need to park and pull back loads at waypoints increasing strain on musculoskeletal. ✔ ✘
- 27. ROTATRUCK LOAD SUPPORT HANDTRUCK SUPPORT LOAD Reduced effort as the Rotatruck carries the load, not the operator. Requires constant operator input to maintain load-balance, exerting strain and effort. ✔ ✘
- 28. ROTATRUCK LEVER HANDTRUCK LIFT Lever rather than lift up curbs or over obstructions without reversing. Operator exerts maximum effort to reverse and pull load up and over curb. ✔ ✘
- 29. ROTATRUCK BALANCE HANDTRUCK CARRY Balance rather than carry the load over soft or uneven terrain. Operator carries increased share of load to safely move across terrain.✔ ✘
- 30. ROTATRUCK THE SAVINGS HANDTRUCK THE COSTS Heavy user: Couriers, warehouse personnel, food and beverage distribution...

Productivity gain: 50+ hours/yr Savings: $1,250 Light user: Office, small retail, facilities services... Productivity gain: 25+ hours/yr Savings: $625 Costs per injury? The most common body part affected by MMH is the back, which often suffers strains, sprains, herniated discs, joint inflammation, and dislocation.The average cost of each low back injury is US$24,000, as reported by the National Council on Compensation Insurance.The direct costs can be many times that if the injury is severe or permanent Loss of productivity? Losing a team member to injury, whether temporary or permanent, replacement labour and the loss of experience increase costs and reduce productivity in real terms. Insurance rates? Are your insurance costs influenced by claims? Regulatory risks? Are you taking all available steps to limit safety risk?
