Abstract
A Putrello lift assist work belt used for manual conveyance that includes a contoured weight bearing ledge that when structurally coupled with the back support belt and shoulder straps form a Putrello lift assist work belt system able to transfer substantial weight of the load being carried by manual conveyance to the hips and legs thus relieving stress and strain on the users back and arms. The elements and attributes of the Putrello lift assist work belt combine to form a manual conveyance lifting system that provides excellent rigidity and resistance to leverage force that results from having a heavy object extended and positioned in front of one's body thus preventing injury to the back, shoulders, and arms.
