Popis:	This study aimed to compare the effects of two different cargo management systems (one powered system, i.e., the RazerLift®, and one Traditional system) on the biomechanical and perceived exertion experienced by workers when performing routine ladder loading and unloading tasks. Seven experienced workers performed ladder loading and unloading tasks. Compared to when the Traditional system was being used, the cumulative static low-back compression force was reduced by 57.9% (p
