Abstract A simple model is presented for predicting maximum acceptable weights of symmetrical and asymmetrical loads (also known as psychophysical lifting capacity or capability) for symmetrical and asymmetrical lifting. Using 18 adult males as subjects, data were collected for a variety of symmetrical and asymmetrical lifting tasks. These data were used in developing and verifying the model. The proposed model includes both the worker variables and the task variables. A procedure is described for using the model to predict maximum weights of lift acceptable to industrial workers for shifts of varied durations.
