Stock Movement

Adjustable support and compression for mixed roles involving equipment operation, pallet movement, stock checking and general warehouse duties.

Important use information.

Operators should reduce the compression or remove the brace if the brace feels restrictive while seated.

A back-support brace is not a substitute for forklift training, safe operating procedures, workplace risk controls, suitable seating or professional medical care.
