The Backsaver is engineered to be ergonomic.  This means the weight of the load is centered on your body and distributed between your arms and shoulders.  Centering and weight-distribution are ergonomic methods that have been applied for thousands of years.  The benefits of the Backsaver’s ergonomic
design include:

• Loading – grab firewood from the pile with one hand while holding your    Backsaver with your other hand.

• Avoid problems with doors – maintain your balance and a free hand    for turning doorknobs.

• Stay clean – conveniently functions as an apron, protecting your clothes    from dirty firewood.

Note: Remember, your body signals when it is straining.  With the Backsaver, you’ll find it easier to carry bigger loads than you’ve carried before, but do not haul any weight or distance that causes pain to your back, shoulders, legs, or arms.  Please use common sense.
