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.

Believe or not these actually work!!! July 11, 2008
I used them to move furniture around, helped friends move furniture, washers dryers and we I love it. My girlfriend had no problem helping me move a heavy wash machine!!! Don't try to use them up/down the stairs as it's not practical. My friends are now asking to borrow them when moving heavy stuff around. This is a great find and I'm extremely happy with them!

Great Product July 2, 2008
My husband and I used them to move a king size mattress, and then my sons used them to move a dryer, and washer. They worked well for all of us.

LIFTING STRAPS July 2, 2008
I probability would not have bought this product if I would have known its limitations. It works well for large items that are taller than their width. The strap length can be adjusted for three discrete lengths, i.e., the adjustments are limited. I used it for a few items, but in my view the straps are not worth buying.

it really works July 1, 2008
i was skeptical but this makes moving awkward items easy for two people. moved a rear projection TV and a Treadmill with ease and just with my father. Without these it may have been a three person job or a lot of scuffed walls.

These things work great! June 19, 2008

I used these straps during a big move, and boy am I glad I bought them! I have a history of back problems, so I was a little nervous lifting the heavy items, but these straps make it a breeze. They really help emphasize proper lifting techniques, as you must squat with your legs and keep your back straight to get your arms in the straps properly and your hands against the item you're lifting. Really heavy items will STILL feel heavy, but the leverage you get with these straps is amazing.

They are not too useful for really short items though, as the lowest arm strap might not be low enough to get a good grip on the item. I found that they worked best for matresses, tall dressers, appliances, and my big sceen TV. It helps if the item has feet underneath...that will help prevent the straps from sliding out. If not, cross the straps as shown in the instructions, and you will have no problems. Stairs can be a bit tricky...you might need to have the person going up the stairs first to get a lower grip on the item so you remain level as you go up.

These things really work! I highly recommend them....
