• If you shift the fulcrum to one side, it takes much more force to lift the same object. Your waist acts like the fulcrum in a lever system, on a 10:1 ratio.
Lifting a ten pound object puts 100 pounds of pressure on your lower back.

Job Site ConsiderationsJob Site Considerations
The person authorized and qualified to do rigging must always pay close attention to details. One careless moment or act can result in serious injury or death and tremendous property damage. Proper rigging is an art and should never be left to the inexperienced. If you don’t know how to do it properly, then don’t attempt it.
