If you know much about aviation or infrastructure support for the military you can see vast applications for this nearly unlimited strength augmentation. I would think there would be quite a bit of use within storage warehouses and large equipment repair facilities of all types really.
The ordnance loading suggestion will doubtless make ordnancemen happy, and I can see putting up sheet rock for building contractors becoming a faster job.
