TurnNBurn Adapter Infographic

This infographic outlines the serious risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) faced by professional truck drivers due to the manual cranking of landing gear on semi-trailers. It explains that RSIs occur from repeated use of specific muscles and joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Truck drivers are especially vulnerable because they often go from long periods of sitting to sudden, strenuous activity when raising or lowering landing gear.

The infographic details how just two trailer loads a day can result in over 36,000 crank rotations annually per driver. For large companies like Walmart, Costco, and Target—who operate multi-state fleets with thousands of drivers—the cumulative number of rotations can reach into the millions, significantly increasing the risk of injury across their workforce.

This takeaway emphasizes the growing need for ergonomic solutions, such as the TurnNBurn adapter, which can drastically reduce manual effort and help prevent RSIs among truck drivers, improving long-term safety and productivity.
