How to Properly Lift a Heavy Object

1. Prepare: The best heavy box lifters are ones that are in shape and maintain good health practices. If this description does not fit you as a person, consider finding a helper for heavy lifting. If not, proceed to step two.
2. Analyze: Before attempting to lift something potentially heavy, first observe the object. Are there good places to grip? Will the weight shift when moved around? Try moving the object with your foot to gauge how heavy it actually is and how much strength will be required to lift it.
3. Stand: Please feet shoulder width apart and squat down at the knees like a frog, don’t bend over with your back.
4. Grip: Place hands flat against object on appropriate handling location and hug the load to our body as if embracing an old friend.
5. LIFT: Finally, the time has come to lift the object, assuming all other steps were executed successfully, of course. Lift straight up with your knees while maintaining a straight back into a fully erect position and move slowly in the desired direction. To put the object down, apply the same steps but in reverse.
