FUNCTIONAL

EFFORT - SAVING Push Rather Than Pull

Clockwork Power

If you pull a load while facing the direction of travel, your arm is stretched behind your body, placing your shoulder and back in an awkward position that increases the likelihood of injury.

Clockwork power is in the sense of energy storage by a coiled spring. It is attempted use as a propulsive power. The propulsive power can help waste pickers easily move a cart.

Adjust Handle Height

Big Wheels

To push, the handle should be between your elbow and hip.

Large diameter wheels end up making a cart ride smoother because they rise over bumps and holes more even.

45 Degrees Angle Construction

Light Weight

The force should be at an angle of 45 degrees above the horizontal when pushing the cart under poor conditions.

To choose a light-weight material and use hollow construction are important to achieve effort-saving.
