The simple sack truck is a good addition to any workplace that involves the carrying or moving of boxes or items. This will help to reduce the risk of injury to your workforce from manual handling as well as improve productivity.
Manual Handling Injuries
More than a third of injuries reported every year are the result of manual handling, i.e. the supporting or transporting of loads by bodily force or by hand.
Hit By Moving Vehicle - 2%
Falls - 4%
Hit By Falling Objects - 13%
Other - 20%
Trips - 23%
Handling - 38%
Check List
Before using a sack truck or any other type of handling aid please check the following points: Is the equipment the correct type for the job?
Force Required
The amount of bodily force that is required to move an object over a level flat surface using a well maintained sack truck or similar handling aid is approximately 2% of the load weight. Example: If the weight of a load is 400kg then the force required to move it will be 8kg. If the conditions are not perfect such as the device being in poor working order or the wheels not being in the correct position then the required force may be much larger. Remember that an operator must always try and push rather than pull the load providing that they have clear line of sight over it and can also control the stopping and steering of the truck.
Moving Items On Slopes
When trying to negotiate a ramp or slope with a load the employee should always try to enlist the help of another worker whenever necessary as the pulling or pushing force required can be very high. Example: If the same 400kg load used in the previous example was to be moved up a slope of 1 in 12 (5°), then the force required increases to around 30kg even in perfect conditions, i.e. smooth surface and good wheels. This is above the recommended guideline for men and well above the weight guideline for women.
Soft or Uneven Surfaces
When using a hand truck or similar handling aid on soft or uneven surfaces then the force required is much higher. On an uneven surface this force increase could be as high as 10% of the load weight, although using larger wheels may offset this to some extent. The force required for soft ground may be even worse than that of uneven ground.
Stance and Speed of Pace
Operators should always go no faster than walking speed and keep their feet well away from the load carried. This will make it easier to push and stop them becoming tired too quickly.
Force Guidelines for Pushing and Pulling
Force to stop or start a load. Men - 20kg Women - 15kg
Constant force required to keep load in motion. Men - 10kg Women - 7kg
General Precautions
Operators should minimize and be aware of the following hazards
- When moving loads on dock platforms, dock plates/bridges, inclines or uneven surfaces please ensure the running wheels of the truck are away from the edges.
- Be aware of other tucks, obstacles and obstructions to prevent the possibility of collision.
- Try to purchase or fit trucks with knuckle guards on the hand grips to reduce the risk of trapping the operator's hands between the truck and other objects.
- Keep the loads centre of gravity as low as possible.
- When moving multiple objects or boxes. Place the lighter objects above the heavier objects.
- Ensure that the load is balanced so that the weight is taken on the axel and not the handles.
- Restrict the height of the load to allow for a clear view ahead of you.
- Use trucks designed for the purpose at hand, i.e. curved back trucks for carrying drums or cylinders, high back straight back sack trucks for white goods etc.
- Let the truck take the weight of the load as the operator should only push and balance the truck.

Best Practices for Wildlife Control Operators, 1st Edition $99.99 Best Practices for Wildlife Control Operators is the only manual of this scope written with the needs of the Wildlife Control Professional in mind. This practical "how-to" training manual focuses on the best practices for wildlife control, the prevention of wildlife damage problems and realistic assessment of job risks for wildlife control operators. It is currently the only comprehensive manual that offers a step-by-step approach to the practical application of the theory of integrated wildlife damage management. This manual gives professionals the tools they will need to think critically and creatively, so they can choose successful solutions for the many different situations they will encounter in their work. The manual describes a broad array of tools, techniques, and resources backed by an easily understood decision-making model. The basic biology and natural history of the species most likely to cause nuisance problems, with specific management recommendations for each species is included. The safety, ethical, and legal issues related to wildlife control activities is also included. It can be used to train a broad range of people from those with little familiarity of the subject to experienced operators who have used other approaches to their work. |

The Operators $14.99 General Stanley McChrystal, the innovative, forward-thinking commanding general of international and U.S. forces in Afghanistan, was living large. He was better known to some as Big Stan, M4, Stan, and his loyal staff liked to call him a "rock star." During a spring 2010 trip across Europe to garner additional allied help for the war effort, McChrystal was accompanied by journalist Michael Hastings of Rolling Stone . For days, Hastings looked on as McChrystal and his staff let off steam, partying and openly bashing the Obama administration for what they saw as a lack of leadership. When Hastings's piece appeared a few months later, it set off a political firestorm: McChrystal was ordered to Washington, where he was fired unceremoniously. In The Operators , Hastings picks up where his Rolling Stone coup ended. He gives us a shocking behind-the-scenes portrait of our military commanders, their high-stakes maneuvers and often bitter bureaucratic infighting. Hastings takes us on patrol missions in the Afghan hinterlands, to late-night bull sessions of senior military advisors, to hotel bars where spies and expensive hookers participate in nation-building gone awry. And as he weighs the merits and failings of old-school generals and the so-called COINdinistas-the counterintelligence experts-Hastings draws back the curtain on a hellish complexity and, he fears, an unwinnable war. |
