What are the ergonomic considerations when moving heavy rattan outdoor tree boxes?

Moving heavy rattan outdoor tree boxes requires careful attention to ergonomic principles to avoid strain or injury. First, assess the weight and size of the box—if it’s too heavy, seek assistance or use lifting aids like a dolly. Bend at the knees, not the waist, and keep your back straight while lifting to distribute weight evenly. Hold the box close to your body to reduce stress on your arms and spine. Avoid twisting your torso while carrying; instead, pivot with your feet. For larger rattan boxes, consider sliding them on a soft surface or disassembling them if possible. Wearing supportive gloves can improve grip and prevent hand fatigue. Regularly repositioning your grip and taking breaks can also minimize muscle strain. Prioritizing these ergonomic practices ensures safe and efficient movement of heavy outdoor rattan furniture.
