- Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of an individual lifting capacity and stature on the efficiency of team lifting work. An experiment which simulated a form-lifting task on a construction work site was performed. A two-man work team lifted a box from knuckle height to shoulder height at a rate of 2 lifts per minute. The maximum acceptable weight of load for eight hours was determined during the experiment. Teams were chosen depending upon stature and individual lifting capacity. The results of this study indicate that stature difference and individual lifting capacity affect team lifting efficiency and capacity. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
