Weight limit criteria for humans

Weight limit criteria for humans

Weight limit criteria for humans

(OP)
Can anyone refer me to the proper Mil-Spec on the following:
What is the critera for how much a human can lift (ie) one person lift versus two person lift and so on. We looked at MIL-HDBK-759 "Human Engineering Design Guidelines" but had no luck.

Thanks

RE: Weight limit criteria for humans

It starts at para. 5.9.11.3.3

Thanks for the rapid response. The reason I wasn't looking at MIL-STD-1472 is because I'm a bonehead.
