Research Topic 148 / 200
Professional equipment is awkward to carry
Handles are poorly coordinated with the equipment's center of gravity and dimensions, forcing users to improvise support points.
Three-step solution method
- Document support needs and teamwork during moving, lifting, placement and transport.
- Compare handle positions and assisted-carry methods using weighted models.
- Field staff test pickup, placement and deployment under controlled conditions.
Key Deliverables
- Handling Task Map
- Support Model
- Deployment Plan
Verification Approach
Observe how people locate supports, adjust posture and coordinate with one another.
