Forearm Forklift™
Do not try this at home.
Wait a minute — this is for your home.
What was I thinking?
From the website:
- Take it easy on your back—and your floors!
The patented Forearm Forklift allows two people to move heavy furniture and appliances weighing up to 500 lbs. without dangerous back strain or scratched floors.
Just cross the two straps, place the item in the center, insert arms through end loops, lift and carry with arms at a 45º angle for maximum leverage.
Allows you to lift up to 3x more weight.
Adjustable straps are super-strong polypropylene webbing, each 9'4" long, with padded areas for the arms.
Stores easily in a drawer or tool bag.
********************
Well?
As your personal physician I must advise you that, chic as you are even in your private time at home, wearing high–heeled, bare–toed wedges is inconsistent with best moving practices.
I'm just saying.
$24.99 (furniture not included).

Is there such a thing as a dislocated elbow?

I saw this for the first time a few months ago when a new appliance was delivered to my home. It seemed to good to be true at the time but here are the magic straps again. I wouldn't need something like this very often, but they'd come in handy when they were needed.

what are you talking about Joe?! Any time I want to move anything I am sure to wear my sexy 4 inch stiletos, leave my hair long and flowing and cascading down my sweaty back and I MUST do my eyes and lipstick before anyone so much as starts thinking about how to move that huge gorilla cage.
Honestly, don't know how useful these straps would be. Most of the stuff we move are desks, bookshelves and big recliner chairs which don't have those handy little legs.
