Description:

Most workplaces have wheeled equipment that workers manually push or pull. Often employers give little consideration to the size, type or number of wheels. The force required to move the equipment could range from ergonomically acceptable to health endangering. When looking for wheels to use in the workplace, you are likely to find an almost infinite variety. Learn what to consider when choosing wheels and how to make the best overall selection for the worker.



Learning Objectives:
1. Select the right wheel for the job; 2. Identify trade-offs when selecting wheels for the workplace; and 3. Recognize the importance of proper tire inflation.
