The BENDOVER is an ergonomic back support for paver and retaining wall installation. The unique design relieves the majority of pressure off of the lower back by redirecting it to the legs and buttocks. The human back operates on a 10:1 ratio. The average human upper torso weighs 105 pounds, which puts 1,050 pounds of pressure on the lower back when bending over.
Now add the weight of the pavers and retaining wall blocks and the risk of a back injury is greatly increased.
The BENDOVER is basically made up of fiberglass rods and fabric. The space age material that makes up the chest harness allows “breathing” in hot weather, and is washable.
It is easily adjustable to fit 95% of all users.

STEP 2:
Attach fabric strapsaround the thighs.

STEP 3:
Place chest harness in front and clip both sides to the fiberglass rods.

STEP 4:
Adjust the retention cord according to how far down the user needs to bend. It may also be necessary to tighten or loosen the thigh straps for further adjustment.
