Lifting heavy objects manually may give you a good workout, but one wrong move and suddenly you’re in pain. The force your hands exert during heavy lifting goes through your arms, shoulders, neck, torso, hips, and legs. In this interconnected system of joints, muscles and bones, the lower back is one of the most vulnerable areas at risk of injury. Carlos made this tire lifter to make changing tires safer and a lot easier.
Great project, Carlos! Thanks for sharing it with us!
