Figure 3 shows an employee who is removing boxes from a conveyor to load on a two-wheeled, self-adjusting handcart. Handcarts of this type are used frequently in moving beverages and containers of similar weights. In addition to saving time, adjustable handcarts reduce bending by keeping the load at or near waist level. Most adjustable handcarts operate with a spring or counterbalancing system.
