Oh. Thanks, that makes more sense. Yeah, that's nasty.CByrneIV wrote:No, not friction. You're conceiving the problem incorrectly.Greg wrote:Huh. What kind of friction are we talking here, because moving twice that on a pallet jack even up a slight incline, really isn't that hard.

Actually he's talking about moving a 450lb weight 7.5 feet, PLUS his bodyweight. Standard strongman stuff.
Picking up a 200kg or heavier weight in your arms, and moving it from one location to another.
There's definitely a difference between what you can do in bursts and what you can sustain. What would be the hp output of, say, a Ranger humping a 150lb load around? That would seem to be right on the cusp- they can almost sort-of sustain that, if they're willing to accept the risk long-term injury.
