[QUOTE="paganpink, post: 293156, member: 5419"] I know that in our District we've NEVER had anyone injured by using an unload stand. I'm not saying that it's impossible- I'm saying that it hasn't happened- and I was around before an hourly suggestion resulted in them being created and used across the country. Maybe you would be more comfortable using the small single step ones rather than the the 2 step type which are much larger and harder to wrestle in and out of a feeder. Also, use your variable height extendos to raise them up to your power zone and it should help a lot. You seem to be an unloader that has gotten in the habit of "undercutting" the walls which is much more unsafe, not to mention causing damages, because of allowing the parcels to fall.That's just being lazy and is a bad idea all around. Follow the methods. We would have killed to have variable height extendos and load stands when I was an hourly in the seventies because it makes the job safer and easier when done right. USE the equipment as it was designed and stop fighting it and you will understand better. [/QUOTE]
