The Power Lifter™ may qualify under programs such as:
Funding for equipment that reduces workplace injury risk.
Often includes matching funds or reimbursements for safety improvements.
Used by cities and agencies to reduce claims and improve worker safety.
Focused on safer operations and standardized procedures.
Use the following language when describing the Power Lifter™ in a grant application:
The Power Lifter™ is a mechanical lifting device designed to eliminate manual handling of heavy manhole covers and access lids.
Manual lifting of covers weighing 90–200+ pounds contributes to back injuries, shoulder strain, and crush hazards. This equipment reduces overexertion risk and supports safer, ergonomic work practices.
Improves efficiency in access operations, reduces worker fatigue, and standardizes safer procedures.
Helps prevent injuries associated with repetitive lifting and manual handling tasks, which are a leading source of workers’ compensation claims.
Programs fund prevention. And manual lifting injuries are expensive.
Back injuries can exceed $80,000+ total impact
Shoulder injuries can exceed $120,000+
Musculoskeletal disorders can exceed $130,000+
