IDM recently released the Mark-10 Ergonomics Testing Kit for use in workplace analyses.
The kit includes an MG digital force gauge that weighs in pounds, kilograms or Newtons; weight capacities range between 200 and 500 pounds, depending on the kit. Additionally, the gauge, attachments and other implements feature ergonomic benefits for the user: non-slip rubber handles, and flat, curved and square padded attachments mounted directly to the force gauge.
