Ergonomic aerial basket

摘要: A simple apparatus is disclosed that reduces the risk of low-back injury to workers in elevated, partially enclosed, aerial baskets. The preferred embodiment basically comprises a circular well within floor basket surrounded by raised footrest platform adapted receive on foot worker. Between and base cylindrical wall prohibits forward movement under platform. In operations, when worker has perform manual handling tasks outboard basket, one out extended onto platform, while other remains below behind foot, well. thereby adopted leaning posture instead bending posture. Consequently, retains optimal curvature spine, achieving biomechanical advantage work demand lower back.
