Single-operator material handling equipment comes in all shapes and sizes; everything from the low-profile pallet truck to the liquid dispensing caddy. This gear usually doesn't requires spotters for standalone operation unless you have a high-traffic environment, such as a jet engine repair depot where there are blind corners and other maneuvering obstacles.

One very efficient single-operator machine is the trash can dumper, which allows one person to safely dump a stuffed full-size trash can into a receptacle without backstrain or the potential for injury.
