WHAT ARE MOVING STRAPS?

Relocation often requires you to load and unload heavy items like kitchen appliances, couches, dryers, and other loaded equipment. Lifting straps also known as shoulder dolly makes this task easy by distributing the weight of the object more evenly, thus preventing any personal injuries. They are durable straps that are firmly placed on shoulders or forearms to lift objects.

‍

FOREARM STRAPS: These straps are utilized by two individuals with loops around the forearm to grip the straps from each end to hook big objects. A handle on both ends of the straps helps to lift and move the object easily causing no back strain.

SHOULDER STRAPS: While transporting objects and maintaining balance and stability, a strap that is easy to move, lift, and carry is required. Shoulder straps or braces are specially designed to connect your back and chest, distributing weight evenly on your shoulders and making carrying more stable.
