Shoulder Dolly Moving Straps - Lifting Strap for 2 Movers - Move, Lift, Carry, And Secure Furniture, Appliances, Heavy, Bulky Objects Safely, Efficiently, More Easily Like The Pros - LD1000

OK, keep in mind grandma and grandpa aren't going to be packing a new refrigerator into the kitchen after hitting a sale at their local Home Depot! Yes they allow two people to move some pretty heavy items, but ponder for a moment how stove up you might get after hoisting 4-500 pounds worth of "Whatever" to "Wherever" in your home! If you're ambitious, of sound mind and in good physical shape, then by all means strap these babies on and go for the gold! We purchased these to move a refrigerator from our kitchen, down two steps and out to our van. This was a father/son move, and dad ain't no spring chicken so there was some moaning, groaning and a few stops before reaching the van. We got the job done, but it felt pretty much like I was backpacking half a refrigerator. There's a slight learning curve when actually lifting and walking, but you figure it out pretty quickly knowing you still have to maneuver around a few things and then get out the front door and down the steps. We had to stop and adjust the straps to get down the steps because the lift is somewhat higher and you're paying more attention to keeping your balance while navigating each step. Following a brief rest and final readjustment of the straps we made the short hike to the van and loaded it in. When I woke up and saw my wife and son leaning over me in my hospital bed sobbing uncontrollably, I knew something went horribly wrong...KIDDING!!! The straps work as advertised. You can lift some pretty heavy items and maneuverability is far more flexible than an appliance dolly. Navigating steps can get a little hairy, and I'm not sure I would trust myself to try and carry a refrigerator up and especially not down a full flight of stairs. The person on the lower portion of the lift could get seriously injured if the weight shifted uncontrollably or the upper lifter couldn't hold their portion of the load. Some basic common sense needs to be implemented when attempting to move any heavy object, whether its on a dolly or utilizing this strap system. The components are all made very well and they are quite wide so stabilizing the load with some help of your hands is intuitive. Manuverability is also very good, so getting in and out of tight places or around other objects is fairly easy. Overall the process is straight forward and you are literally up and moving in a matter of minutes. The only caution I would make is to not make a lift if you have any back, neck or leg issues because all three become the human frame that both lifts and supports whatever weight you're trying to move. This is a pretty slick way to move heavy objects and about the cost of your time and money to rent an appliance dolly for a day with the bonus of owning the kit for any future moving for yourself, friends or family members. I would recommend this item as a great alternative to using dollies for moving heavy items into, out of or around the home.

I came across this product while searching for an appliance dolly, as we were needing to move a washer, dryer, etc., to get ready for some remodeling and installation of new appliances. I figured I would give this product a try and I'm glad I did. These shoulder dolly moving straps were easy to use and made moving the washer and dryer a breeze. This product works great and as an added plus, significantly more affordable than an actual dolly. If you need a great setup for moving appliances, this is a great product. The only con I can think of is that you need two people, whereas a wheeled appliance dolly allows for easy handling by a single individual.

Without a doubt, I offer them my highest possible rating of five stars for their excellent work and the significant role they played in making my move easy.

We purchased this trap specifically for one piece of furniture during our move. A heavier than snot dining room Butler made in 1975 from the most dense solid wood ever grown. I'm pretty sure the tree this came from is now extinct. My strongest son and I carried this into the house when we acquired it. There are no lift points on the back, and drawers that don't come out on the front. This leaves a rock climber's grip point on the ends or a dead lift from the ground. We found ourselves about to move as we purchased a new home. I immediately remembered the pain from moving the butler and searched for tools to make the move easier. This strap (or the concept at least) was recommended on Ask This Old House, so I picked one up. We strapped in, did a test lift, sat it down, and adjusted the straps. Any twist in the shoulder strap does cause pain as expected with anything not worn properly. Unfortunately we could not find a comfortable position with this behemoth. However, we WERE able to carry it. It was still heavy, bulky, and painful, but we were able to move it. The straps allowed us to trade the lack of lift points to a balancing act. A trade well worth it. It was easier to balance and walk the entire distance than it was to go 5 feet and stop with finger cramps. We were tired afterwards, and we fully acknowledge that we did not know what we were doing. We don't know if we had the shoulder straps on correctly, if we lifted correctly, walked correctly, but we do know we sweat correctly. At the end of the day, this was WELL worth the purchase, but then again, we have a great chiropractor.

If you route the strap through the tensioning mechanism then the action of lifting the item and putting it's weight on the center strap will pull the pin down and apply tension/friction on the assembly and keep each person's end in place while you're moving an object. They works great for basic moves - or at least it did for us. Moves like picking something up and walking it out of a house in a pretty much straight line and up or down a few steps or around a corner work great. It's great for those heavy cumbersome objects that you just can't get grips on or are tough to just pick up and carry easily. What you need to watch out for is if the weight of the item shifts at all. One instance that jumps out is when we went to move a stove out a side door and down some steps that required a 90 degree turn on the way down. The stove kinda shifted a little bit as we were making the turn just because of the nature of the movement, and the tensioner on the upper person's strap lost it's grip and allowed the strap to slide through and let the stove shift and kinda slide down towards the person on the lower steps. Not a huge deal because they were able to brace themselves against a wall while the other person maneuvered to reapply the tension but if it were in a different spot I can see it ending differently. I'm giving it 5 stars because we're not professional movers and maybe there was something that we could have been doing differently to avoid the strap slipping. It happened enough times that I feel like this thing could benefit from something that locks the strap in place once you get it to the position you need it in - unless there's a safety related reason not to do this. The straps made the move a lot easier than it otherwise would've been and probably saved my back in the process so I'm definitely happy with them. The price seemed a little bit high when we I was ordering them and has since come down but it's still pretty reasonable for what you get. We weren't using them on a ton of stuff - no pun intended - but if I were doing anything more than a small to medium sized move and had to buy moving straps again, I might go with something that offered some padding to the portion of the straps that go over the shoulder. I wouldn't say these "hurt" necessarily but you could definitely feel where the straps were for a little while after moving some heavier items. Overall we're happy with the item and have recommended them to others since we bought ours.

Got the straps for me to move my gym equipment around. Now my husband wants them for work. I hid them from him. He can buy his own. Lol I gave them to him. We moved a step mill weighing 500lbs Me-108lbs 5’2” 52 years old Husband 225lbs 5’11” 51 years old 2 straps , 1 thick and long strap in a package. So glad I came across the REDDIT guy who left the link to the straps. We moved step mill from garage to the basement door with one step leading up to the basement. We got it into the basement. I noticed a lot of legs and arms were being used. It’s been 9 hours since we moved the machine. I don’t feel anything in my lower back. No pain in my knees. Some of you will understand :) i thought something was going to hurt. Same for husband he’s fine. When moving machine side rails were off and top of the program was off. Machine is awkward and very heavy.

This thing is incredible. I didn’t see many people mention it but we used it to carry our large window air conditioners; it worked perfectly! A very simple but super helpful product!

Got these to move my dryer and washer and they are ok. Once lifted, the appliance was a bit unstable and we had to walk very carefully to keep it balanced. Good for short distances but would not recommend for moving something further than a few feet, dolly would be a better option.
