In transporting LP gas tanks, the load of workers is high due to handling heavy LP gas tanks. In previous studies, the physical load of workers when handling LP gas tanks was not evaluated quantitatively. This study aimed to evaluate the physical load in handling the LP gas by motion capture system and muscle potential. In this paper, a posture with carrying on the shoulder the LP gas tank was evaluated from the viewpoint of load torque of joints, muscle potential, and compression force of intervertebral discs.
