Ready Lifter Shoulder Moving Straps for Furniture, Appliances, Heavy or bulky Items. Transport Sling That's Easy to Adjust for Carrying and Lifting Heavy Objects up to 600 LB and 12' long

We moved recently and had some heavy bits of furniture as well as the usual fridge and washer. These straps were a life saver. Lifting was easy and took the strain off your back. They are not completely perfect as can be a bit fiddly to get on and only has a single strap to lift your item, however it's easier enough to stabilise and is sturdy so I'd rather have that than lift without. Great bit of kit and well worth the money.

Makes lifting so easy

Wonderful idea for moving things

I don't often leave reviews on Amazon, but felt compelled to write about this product, as it has proven to be an absolute game changer for us. My wife and I had struggled and failed to move a 120kg range cooker from its temporary location in the garage into the kitchen. It was so heavy that I struggled to move it more than an inch at a time when pushing against it with all my weight. I'd previously seen these straps advertised but thought they were a bit of gimmick. In my desperation though, I ordered them on the basis that if all else failed, I would need to pay someone to move said cooker for me. The straps arrived next day and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the materials used, the sturdiness of the product, and the clarity of the instructions. Once we had figured out how to put on the harnesses and attach the sling to them and underneath the cooker, we attempted a trial lift of the cooker. I should point out that these straps do not miraculously make a very heavy object suddenly feel as light as a feather, but for the first time ever we were both able to lift the cooker more than an inch off the ground without nearly injuring ourselves. We took a few tentative steps and found that by stopping regularly to check our position and to get our breath back, we were able to cover several yards in a matter of just a couple of minutes. Before we knew it, the cooker was in the kitchen, and we had successfully moved it without dropping it or damaging anything (including ourselves!). I am absolutely delighted with this purchase. It might be the kind of thing that we only use once or twice in a lifetime, but it turned an impossible job into something that was all of a sudden manageable and achievable. Thank you Ready Lifter for a great product!

I really wasn't sure what star rating to give these as whilst they work great, they are only suitable if you have a certain physique. To put this into perspective, I'm a 6 foot tall male with a medium build. I found I was only just able to fit the body harness on. My brother, who I usually rope into helping me move heavy objects whenever I need too is also 6 foot but quite a bit bigger, he had no hope of getting the harness on. It is surprisingly small, on me, the buckle sits a few inches below the bottom of my rib cage. The lady in the demo picture has the buckle well below her crotch so she must be tiny. All that being said, if it fits you it works well and is easy to use. I was able to test it with my 59-year-old mother using a bulky boxed up power chair (approx 50KG) as the test item. We moved it easily from one end of the garden to another and could have done several laps if we wanted to. Without the straps, my mum wasn't able to help me move it 1 foot across the floor. Unfortunately, as the item would not fit my brother I had to return it. I opted for another version (Search Amazon for item B076DY19R5). This is the same kind of idea but a different system. The harnesses of the second version lend themselves to the 'one size fits all' philosophy and my brother has no trouble fitting them. I would say it is a little more complicated than the one I'm reviewing here so maybe stick with the first version here if you and your lifting partner are small builds. Another advantage of the second version system is that there's an option to use it with no harness at all, which is very quick and easy. I decided to drop the item to three stars because whilst the item works well for smaller people, they could have easily made the harnesses adjustable and suitable for all people to use.

These straps are actually really good, Ioved out of a 1st floor flat recently and these straps were used by myself and my brother to move a fridge freezer, washing machine, two chests of drawers and a writing desk down the stairs. It makes moving the furniture along flat ground effortless as your not finding areas to grip the item. All you need to do is keep the item steady whilst all the lifting is done through your legs. It's like carrying a Heavey back pack as the weight is split evenly between people. Going down the stairs can be really tricky at first as the weight will mostly be on the person lowest to the ground floor but overall helps with the securing of the furniture so you don't drop it. I would recommend watching the YouTube videos to see how to uses them as it's quite hard without seeing it work. Top product!

Used this to empty the kitchen white goods while the floor was done. Dish washer, Washing Machine, tall FridgeFreezer and also used on Sofa's. All I can say is practice and patience, but it does make it a lot easier to shift. Once you work out how to keep it balanced its easy.

I saw these being used by the delivery men who brought us our big American-style fridge freezer and thought they might be good when we were moving several months later. My fiance was dubious as to how much they would help, but agreed to give them a go with a friend of ours who was helping us move. By the end of the moving day he was singing their praises and thought they made the move much easier as we have several large, bulky items to move, including that fridge freezer. The harnesses and strap were easy to use, and once the correct strap length was found for balancing the item, lifting was a doddle. Both men were of similar height, so I can't comment on how it would work with people of different heights. You do have to take care when going over uneven surfaces or up/down stairs - the strongest of the pair would need to be lower to bear the weight. Overall this was a great buy and we're going to keep them now rather than sell straight on, which was the original idea, so that we have them to move things in the future!
