Above All Forearm Forklift Lifting and Moving Straps, Orange

by Above All

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Forearm Forklift lifting straps were designed in 1997 by a professional mover who is still active in the industry. After many years "on the truck" he felt compelled to invent a tool that actually eliminated the risk of floor damage. He designed them ergonomically to encourage proper lifting techniques and body mechanics. The Forearm Forklift was awarded "Best New Product of the Year" in 1999 by the Industrial Equipment News whose constituents are solely top professionals in the business. The lifting straps are also the first OSHA accepted moving tool to reduce potential injuries due to heavy and repetitive lifting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Forearm forklift helped in a jam, June 27, 2003

Not to long ago I moved into a new home. I used the forearm forklift many times. I found it was ideal for moving big items, for example my 65" projection tv, which weighs roughly 350lbs. Without the forearm forklift it took 4 men to move, with the forearm forklift it took 2! The only downside to this product is using it to go up or downstairs with big items. It is not easy almost scary, I found it to be safer to not use the straps then pick them up after the steps.

I try to filter out the hype that sometimes ends up in reviews on this site - but the reviews on this product seemed to have a bit of truth to them so I ordered them. I am very impressed; these really do help out.

One of the biggest challenges I often have when working around the house is moving large items by myself. My wife is always willing to try and help but her will is sometimes larger than her muscles.

Now, these make it much easier for us. Last weekend, we used these to move a washer and dryer from one end of the basement to the other. No problem at all. Before using these, I would have struggled to get this done but these straps made it very easy for her to help me and we got the job done quickly and probably much more safely. It was so easy I was almost laughing.

Enough said... these lived up the hype. I'm very glad to own them.

The forearm forklifts work very well for lifting heavy things (washers, dryers, couches, etc) on flat surfaces. When you try to go up stairs, the person on the bottom has an easy job, and the person going up at the top should probably have arms like Rocky. For going up stairs with LARGE objects, I actually have a product called "Shoulder Dolly".

Forearm Forklifts are quicker for flat surfaces, but for going up stairs, you need something that goes over your shoulders.
