Repetitive stress injuries are one of the most common causes of worker's compensation cases across all trucking industries. And especially, upper extremity musculoskeletal disorder is considered to be one of the most common and costly types of injuries. This disorder might affect the elbow, shoulder, or wrist, any of which can get hurt by manually cranking the trailer's landing gear, even when done in the correct operating position for a daily or near-daily basis years of service.

However, these sorts of injuries fail to receive adequate attention in the majority of trucking companies. OnLift declares the powered landing gear for trailers to be the first-of-a-kind that provides an effective and safe alternative to hand-cranking, without any need of time-consuming and costly installations of hydraulic or other electrical equipment. This air operated solution is expected to remarkably decrease the number of bodily stress injuries and repetitive motion among truck drivers over the next several years.

Benefits of Pneumatic Lift Systems for the Trucking Industry

The landing gear on trailers is chiefly lowered or raised manually by the driver using a mechanical crank that hangs off the rod of the landing gear. As a result, the truckers suffer the greatest number of injuries and illnesses resulting in lost work time. But the invention of pneumatic landing gears has brought the incidence of injury from up to 10% down to zero.
