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.

 Doesn't work well on stairsJul 05, 2010
These will come in handy when moving things over flat surfaces. They can be very dangerous when using them on a flight of stairs. The person at the top better have some strong forearms.
Good product but not perfect.Jun 26, 2010
My son and I tried to move a 200+ lbs 35" tv using the 'Forearm Forklift Lifting Straps' from 2nd floor to basement (going down thirteen stairs). That's my sole purpose of this purchase. Unfortunately, the straps slippped back and forth at four corners. We couldn't get the balance properly and ended up finishing the job bare-handed with leather gloves. The instructions suggested the straps should be cris-crossed on the bottom. It would help if the center part of the straps have built-in holes to keep both straps from slipping. Because of the flawed design, it deserves a three star. I think they should work well for moving furnitures with square or retangular shaped bottoms.
 Forearm ForkliftMay 24, 2010
An amazing product!! A friend and I moved my entire house in a day. Its possible to move some very awkward and heavy stuff and works great on stairs, I highly recommend it
mixed resultsMay 14, 2010
these straps definitely work the way they're supposed to, however, i think i should've gotten the shoulder strap system instead...the forearm straps make it much easier to move furniture from one side of a room to another or from room to room, however, it seemed a little hazardous to try to use them to move furniture down a flight of steps...they do work really well for moving mattresses...
 Poorly made.May 11, 2010
I'm not sure how this product received such high ratings but I found it to be poorly constructed. They are VERY short in length...so the picture of the guys lifting the lady sitting on the sofa is deceptive. There must be some optional extension because the straps that I have cannot possible reach that far.
