PowerLift Train-The-Trainer

WHAT IS POWELIFT TRAINING?

This is a non-traditional material handling train-the-trainer course. This is not the usual “place your feet shoulder distance apart, keep your back straight and lift with your legs” type training.

It is a patented method of training.

• Entry level to long time employees decide immediately to use PowerLiftÒ because they can feel the difference it makes.
  
• Workers try the 'old way' versus the 'new way' to decide for themselves that PowerLiftÒ is easier and better for them than their usual way of material handling.
  
• PowerLift has the highest acceptance level by workers of any material handling technique.
  

PowerLift utilizes wide stance lifting opposed to squat lifting. There are three problems that occur with the squat lift. When you put your feet shoulder width apart, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, you will immediately see the results.

THREE PROBLEMS

1. Come up on the balls of your feet, which is very unstable


2. Knees get in the way, which forces the load out in front away from the body


3. Knees are forced into a deep knee bend squat

OVERCOMING THE THREE PROBLEMS

1. Feet remain flat and stable on the floor
   
2. Feet and knees are out of the way allowing the load to be held close
   
3. Bending knees less, making it easier to lift with your legs.
