Explain why raising, staging, or sliding a load can be safer than relying on lifting posture alone.
A maintenance stock transfer goes from repeated floor stoops to staged power-zone handling. Before: every transfer starts low and ends with a turn toward the cart. After: the start height is raised and the cart is beside the load.
