| Our thanks to the people at Cal-OSHA for
including the GRIPsystem in their annual catalog of alternative safety products. |
| Test Results Are In! |
| A two year study at the University of
California Davis reports that use of the GRIPSystem reduces back strain by up to 70% |
| NEW Colors |
| The GRIPSystem is now available in four
color combinations to suit your company needs. |
| Refined Design |
| In an effort to improve an already
amazing device, the GRIPSystem's R&D department has streamlined the harness and added
a sizing chart for user convenience. |

The GRIPSystems design
allows two users to lift and move large, heavy objects while keeping the correct
"safe" lifting posture, forcing the weight of the object on the users legs
instead of the lower back. This allows the user to relax and concentrate on the moving
path, leaving the hands free to maneuver and negotiate the course with maximum precision
and control. Reducing the risk of
injuries to the lower back by utilizing proper ergonomic design and body mechanics has
made the GRIPSystem a useful tool in labor intensive industries where risk management is a
concern, and where improper lifting techniques can result in high percentages of back
injuries.
This device was tested extensively "on the job"
over a five year period as well as completing an extensive two year biomechanics study at
the University of California at Davis. Data was recently published in two national
medical journals proving that a reduction of strain and stress to the lower back while
using the GRIPSystem was as high as 70%. This makes the GRIPSystem the first product
of it's kind ever produced to yield such proven positive results.
