I bought these because I was moving from my 3rd floor apartment to my new house and the biggest thing that my wife and I had to move was our 75” TV. These made the process so much smoother. We were both able to move our heavy and big items with no problems. I was worried the most about the TV going down the stairs but this made it easier and it was a relief when it was in the U-Haul.

My wife and I had seen commercials on television, about these lifting straps. We had several objects around the house we needed to move. I put off trying to move these items knowing I was not going to be able to bend over enough to pick these items up, because of my back problems. I decided to purchase a pair of these forklift lifting straps, to see if they work.

My wife and I were both surprised we were able to move the two heavy items, we thought we would need help moving, with little effort. I was surprised we moved the two items.

Do they work as easy as they seem on the television commercials? Not quite! Depending on the shape of what your lifting you’ll need to consider balance. This was the only problem we had to work out.

At first we didn’t think would be able to move the two heavy items in our backyard. I’m glad we bought these lift straps, “Forklift Straps”. They will be used again when we need to move something else heavy.

We believe this was a good investment.

Like it shows in the instructional videos they really do make it a LOT easier for 2 people to lift and carry some pretty large objects. The qualifications to that is they are less effective if the objects are too long like a 7 foot sofa or a mattress. They do help by giving you a hand hold but it isn't quite as effortless. Also going up or down stairs is a bit problematic because the leverage caused by the straps is uneven and makes it pretty tough to keep the straps in place on the objects or your arms. I got a pretty serious bruise on one of my arms because the strap shifted going down a set of stairs. So when you are moving something like a cabinet or a dresser it is amazing how much easier it is to lift and carry them. When doing something like a couch or mattress they can still be helpful but it is not nearly as easy. When going down stairs be cautious because of the change in leverage, especially with longer items.

Easy to use, makes handling things easier. If they were longer it would be better

They work just like advertised, or maybe even a bit better. Had to carry a washer and a dryer to the 2nd floor with my wife, over the stairs was super easy. Carrying it without the forearm lift is a huge pain as you can't really grip it and also the weight seems so much lighter

Just as described

These work good but the arm hold hurt my arms a lot I think they need more padding or more soft material in the arm holes but they work they way they were supposed to

The product is as advertised, but if you’re a professional moving things on a regular basis, these ones are probably not recommended; for anyone else, their perfect.

1. I removed one star for this reason alone. I expected nylon with the thickness of a typical 3-inch ratchet strap, but these are much thinner. (Probably the thickness of a typical 1-inch ratchet strap). It would also be nice to have something a little thicker with a movable Kevlar guard that could be positioned to protect the scrap on sharp edges. But you get what you pay for. These are pretty reasonably priced.
2. That being said, they are perfect for my needs as a homeowner for the few times a year they will get used.
3. This type of strap is a must-have for lifting anything heavy, especially if it doesn’t have any lift points at knee level. It will save your back and make moving a dream.
4. They aren’t great for moving up or down stairs (the way it works out, only one person can utilize the straps when going downstairs, and even then, it’s not that handy), so for stairs, a dolly is still best. But if the staircase is only 3-4 steps or the staircase is not steep, these are a must-have. I’ll always have a set of these lying around.
5. There is some cushioning where your forearms go, it is pretty thin; honestly, it’s probably unnecessary, but it's there…maybe it helps a little.
