Product Description
Above All Co. 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.
Benefits:
Reduces weight of item being carried by 66%
Creates handles on any hard-to-handle pieces
Great for going up and down most stairs or truck ramps
Tight turning radius (excellent for 90 degree turns in hallways and switchbacks in staircases)
Will never scratch wood floors, break tile, stain carpets or rip vinyl (linoleum)
The Forearm Forklift was awarded "Best New Product of the Year 1999" by the Industrial Equipment News whose constituents are solely top professionals in the business.
Specification:
Adjustability: up to 48 inches
Weight Capacity: 600 pounds per pair (tested at 2,720 pounds)

 it's okay January 4, 2009

 Don't waste your money... December 29, 2008
After 3 different attempts and 4 Men trying to move my armoire, I bought this "Forearm Forklift"...I should have sent it back immediately. When I first moved the Armoire, I did it myself...I slid it across the wood floors...but after I had my floors refinished, I could not utilize the same technique anymore...I needed to move it "without" scratching the floors this time. We tried furniture felt, and sliders and then sliders with covers on them...nothing worked...and this didn't either....you have to be superman to lift this armoire even an inch off the floor....we just laughed the whole time at the "Forearm Forklift"...what a joke...and they try showing people moving stuff up stairs??? we couldn't move this Armoire 15 feet!...( we finally did by using the sliders and re-attaching the covers every 5-10 inches because they kept sliding off the sliders)...anyways this was a waste of money!

Haven't had to use them yet, but anything's better than trying to lift heavy objects and breaking your back.
 How did I manage without ? December 20, 2008
What a brilliant idea - simple and easy to use. Two people can carry heavy appliances, cartons and awkwardly shaped objects. The straps fit just below the elbow, so the load is carried in the same plane as the spine. No more back strain.
This Really Works!! December 15, 2008
I purchased these over a year ago and today I needed to move our washer and dryer. I could have wrestled them around by myself but then I remembered having purchased the Forearm Forklift straps and I decided that this would be a perfect time to try them out. My wife is only 5'3" tall but she was able to help me lift and carry the dryer and the washer with absolutely no strain at all. After we moved the first item she grinned and said "Wow, that was sweet!". I highly recommend these things. You will be amazed how well they work.
