The newly introduced Easy Grip Type has succeeded in reducing the burden on hands and body when gripped.

■ Background of Development
Maximizing the added value of an 'easy-to-carry storage box' while maintaining usability.
As user feedback, we received opinions from those using the Trunk Cargo that 'hands hurt when lifting the container filled with heavy loads.' Since Trunk Cargo is widely used to store and carry tools in various situations, primarily outdoors, we considered 'improving ease of carrying' to be an urgent issue.
Conducted transport tests under the supervision of Nagoya City University Graduate School of Data Science
In commercializing the 'Trunk Cargo Easy Grip Type,' we created a grip shape that reduces the burden on hands and arms. Under the supervision of the Nagoya City University Graduate School of Data Science, we conducted objective evaluations by measuring the muscle activity required during transport, as well as subjective surveys based on the 'degree' felt by test subjects.
