Product Description
Above All Co. The Forearm Forklift moving straps were designed in 1997 by a professional mover who is still very 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. A claim that only the Forearm Forklift can make since the dolly and hand truck require the rolling of wheels on your sensitive floors. Coincidentally, he also designed them ergonomically to encourage proper lifting techniques and body mechanics. They are actually the first and only OSHA accepted moving tool ever to reduce potential injuries due to heavy and repetitive lifting.
Benefits:
- Reduces weight of item being carried by 66%
- Creates handles on any hard-to-handle pieces
- Great for going up and down most stairs or truck ramps
- Tight turning radius (excellent for 90 degree turns in hallways and switchbacks in staircases)
- Will never scratch wood floors, break tile, stain carpets or rip vinyl (linoleum)
The Forearm Forklift was awarded "Best New Product of the Year 1999" by the Industrial Equipment News whose constituents are solely top professionals in the business.
Specification:
- Adjustability: up to 48 inches
- Weight Capacity: 600 pounds per pair (tested at 2,720 pounds)
- Material: super strength webbing, bonded thread at each joint and padding in each insert
- Padding: felt for comfort in any adjusted length
- Color: improved/changed to safety orange
- Dimensions: 9 feet 4 inches long
- Weight: 1 pound per pair
- Package Dimensions: 8 inches wide by 9 inches tall by 2.5 inches deep
- Package Contents: 2 straps

Moving straps September 1, 2010

Overall these work well. Only bad thing is my husband and brother-in-law were moving our armoir. They tried the "criss cross" method - you place the straps across each other underneath the piece of furniture so it forms an 'x' My husband's strap slipped, armoir fell on his feet and broke 1 of his big toes! : ( Sooo as long as you use the straps the "normal" way, I would reccommend. They do relieve a lot of strain on your back and leverage the weight well.
 Wonderful Product August 28, 2010

This item was fantastic during our move. It was easy to use and really worked as it was intended too. Moving our mattresses, fridge, stove, washer and dryer was a breeze. We highly recommend this item.

We bought these to replace a pair that we have had for a few years. We have found that they work well even when there is a significant difference in height between the 2 individuals who are lifting the object. At this point they have been used to move my parents, my household twice and my sister's household once so they did not sit unused. We ended up using the straps for some purposes that were not recommended though (pulling/rolling 400-500 lb rocks) and we ended up abrading and damaging the straps and ultimately they broke. However I cannot fault the straps since we were not using them for their recommended uses. Considering how much we used the old pair, it was a given that we would replace them.
The Pros use these August 6, 2010

We had a new refridgerator and washer delivered and the delivery guys used these. They made it look almost easy. They swore by them, so I got some. And, true enough, they work, particularly for the large and/or bulky. They don't do much for small, heavy stuff. I'm still looking for that cheap levitation device. Or perhaps meditative moving, as in Maybe if we all concentrate we can levitate the Pentagon. In the meantime, if you feel compelled to move large objects, try these. My spouse and I have been in the process of moving for a while now, out of the old dump, into a temporary storage apartmenet while we await the beginning of our new house lease. In the process we've had to move a lot of heavy stuff several times. We hired a couple of college kids to help and we were using these things.
 Doesn't work well on stairs July 5, 2010

These will come in handy when moving things over flat surfaces. They can be very dangerous when using them on a flight of stairs. The person at the top better have some strong forearms.
