Lifting by hand is the most popular method of carrying paving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"z683\"](\"https:\/\/www.paving.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Z683.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI’m sure you’ve heard it before but here goes. Always bend the knees and not the back when carrying by hand<\/strong>. I’m sure you know this but it is important. When lifting and carrying by hand more than two bricks at a time, stack across the joints to stabilize the load. Wearing gloves can also help stop cuts and grazes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDon’t lift more than you feel you can carry because if you drop them you may damage the paving you are carrying. You may also damage the surface they land upon or worst still, you drop them on your toes! Ouch! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIf you are lifting and carrying paving on a regular day-day basis you may want to consider buying a block paving carrying cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Most good professional paving installers will have a block paving cart. Not only do they minimize the risk of getting a bad back and hands, they also speed up the laying of pavers. Especially if there is quite a distance between the point of delivery and the laying area. With each load being able to carry a a quarter of a pack of paving. This could be up to 200 pavers at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few variations and other designs of paving<\/strong> cart but the one shown in the picture is manufactured by Probst. These carts are self balancing even when loaded so they balance with ease should the operator have to stop whilst pushing or pulling the cart. They also have a locking mechanism that firmly grips the pavers. This stops paving being lost sideways when transporting the pavers.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBlock paving carts are quite expensive to purchase, but you should see a return on your investment within a few months if not weeks.
