3 – LOADING, UNLOADING AND DELIVERING (photographs 10 – 13)
Note the sack trucks and the trolleys in photographs
10–12. Note in particular that once the trays are
stacked up to head height one hand is utilised to
control at head level and the other hand to manoeuvre
the trolley. Note also the extended leg of the sack
truck in photograph 10, and the lumbo-sacral flexion
for manoeuvring the dishes trolley, given the design
(photograph 12).
The dishes are later transferred into the hot or cold
plate (photograph 13), requiring regular squat/kneel
and turning/twisting postures.
The push/pull force for the dinner plates trolley
is approximately 15–18kg.
