Reduce MSK risk. Reduce claim cost.
In warehousing, a big share of serious injuries are musculoskeletal (MSK)—back, shoulder, and knee strains that drive workers’ comp costs, lost time, and productivity drag.
By shifting employees from repeated long-distance walking and on-foot handling to a ride-assisted workflow, teams can reduce cumulative fatigue and overexertion exposure—two common precursors to MSK claims.
Why this matters financially
MSK-type injuries are a huge cost center. More than half (56%) of workplace injuries impact the back, shoulder, knee, or multiple body parts, costing U.S. businesses ~$32.6B.
Claims volume is massive. In 2024, U.S. private industry recorded 888,100 cases involving days away from work, with 568,150 involving sprains, strains, and tears (a major MSK bucket).
Lost time adds up fast. Median time away from work for these cases is 8 days—and that’s before you count overtime, temporary labor, retraining, or throughput loss.
The MSD cost range is enormous. NIOSH cites estimates of work-related MSD costs ranging $13B–$54B annually.
MSK injuries are a measurable cost driver
- 56% of workplace injuries affect the back, shoulder, knee, or multiple body parts~$32.6B in cost.
- 568,150 U.S. cases with days away from work involved sprains/strains/tears in 2024.
- Median time away from work: 8 days.
- Work-related MSD costs estimated at $13B–$54B/year.
Safety outcomes depend on task design, training, and site conditions. This product supports ergonomic workflows but does not guarantee injury prevention.
