The discussion revolves around the maximum lifting capacity of an average human adult, particularly in the context of manual handling of materials such as sheet metal. Participants explore various factors influencing lifting capacity, including safety standards, personal experiences, and physical conditioning. The conversation includes considerations for both individual and team lifting scenarios, as well as implications for manufacturing and assembly processes.
Participants express varying opinions on what constitutes an average lifting capacity, with no clear consensus on a specific weight limit. Some agree on OSHA guidelines, while others share personal experiences that suggest different limits. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the exact lifting capacities and the factors that influence them.
Limitations include the variability of individual physical conditioning, the influence of lifting techniques, and the context of lifting (e.g., level ground vs. ladders). There is also a lack of consensus on whether gender affects lifting capacities.
nope, wouldn't have wanted to be around any trees right then though.. There's a huge fir by our house and it was LEANING but it stayed put.. we had an arborist trim our willow (60" base) a few years ago, we were glad for that, it overhangs the house pretty goodsysprog said:Wow, @Rx7man, ##-## I hope that no-one was injured . . .
