ABOUT Powerlift®

Powerlift® Training is a patented approach to material handling training.

Powerlift® Training is a distinct departure from the traditional "place your feet shoulder distance apart, keep your back straight, bend your knees and lift with your legs" type of material handling training.

Powerlift® Training implements wide stance lifting and material handling techniques.

Powerlift® Training is recognized by professional athletes everywhere. Through comparing their old way with the new way of material handling, workers agree immediately that Powerlift® is easier and safer for them, and quickly integrates into their specific job tasks. See for yourself (demo).
