I am looking for a method of measuring safe push and pull forces over 30-50 feet for employees. This would be performed at various sites during a pre-screening evaluation so equipment is limited to what can go in my car with me. I have a digital force gauge with various handle attachments available. The employer would like this information to help with job placement. Can anyone help?
Carrie,
We recommend using the digital force gauge that you have access to. It is light and portable so it can travel with you to the job site. Use the gauge along with the Snook Ciriello Push/Pull Index. (Find in your ERG manual.)
