Transfer loads easily with less bending and lifting
LiftNBuddy
The LNB-2 (photo) combines the convenience and maneuverability of a two-wheel hand truck with the utility of powered lifting. With the touch of a button, the LNB-2’s powered, adjustable-height platform positions loads at a comfortable height, to help reduce bending and stretching when loading, unloading or moving items from one level to another. Built on a lightweight, durable aluminum frame, the LNB-2 is easily maneuvered and can lift 200-lb loads o a height of 37 in. off the ground. The lift mechanism uses a timing-belt drive that is very quiet, according to the company, and it lifts loads at a speed of 4 in./s. Two rechargeable 12-V batteries provide the power. This product raises productivity, as many tasks that formerly required two workers can now be accomplished by just one person, says the company. — LiftNBuddy, Fargo, N.D.
