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.

Forearm forklift helped in a jam June 27, 2003

Not to long ago I moved into a new home. I used the forearm forklift many times. I found it was ideal for moving big items, for example my 65" projection tv, which weighs roughly 350lbs. Without the forearm forklift it took 4 men to move, with the forearm forklift it took 2! The only downside to this product is using it to go up or downstairs with big items. It is not easy almost scary, I found it to be safer to not use the straps then pick them up after the steps.
 Lived up to the hype - cool product. November 1, 2005

I try to filter out the hype that sometimes ends up in reviews on this site - but the reviews on this product seemed to have a bit of truth to them so I ordered them. I am very impressed; these really do help out.
One of the biggest challenges I often have when working around the house is moving large items by myself. My wife is always willing to try and help but her will is sometimes larger than her muscles.
Now, these make it much easier for us. Last weekend, we used these to move a washer and dryer from one end of the basement to the other. No problem at all. Before using these, I would have struggled to get this done but these straps made it very easy for her to help me and we got the job done quickly and probably much more safely. It was so easy I was almost laughing.
Enough said... these lived up the hype. I'm very glad to own them.
Great Tool for Moving April 1, 2005

We used the Forearm Forklift this past week to move to another house. We own a lot of large furniture and the Forearm Forklift really came in handy especially for moving bulky, awkward items. This was especially true for matresses, a china hutch, couches, bookcases, etc. If the item you are moving doesn't have strong legs or give (e.g., a mattress) it really is best to crisscross the straps underneath the item to make sure you keep your grip on it.
It was nice to have the Foream Forklift in addition to a dolly as there are many items that one can't move easily with a dolly (upright or piano). We won't move again without these and will be buying them for any friends who will be moving.

The forearm forklifts work very well for lifting heavy things (washers, dryers, couches, etc) on flat surfaces. When you try to go up stairs, the person on the bottom has an easy job, and the person going up at the top should probably have arms like Rocky. For going up stairs with LARGE objects, I actually have a product called "Shoulder Dolly".
Forearm Forklifts are quicker for flat surfaces, but for going up stairs, you need something that goes over your shoulders.
Makes it easier to handle awkward, bulky items too large for one person to move. March 13, 2006

When a hand truck won't work or isn't available, these lifting straps may do the trick. The straps are well made and reasonably comfortable, since the weight is carried on the loop over the forearm. The straps are especially helpful when moving large items through doorways, and have saved me some pinched fingers.
They are especially useful to have on hand when the people doing the moving aren't of equal strength or size. The bright orange color makes them easy to find, too.
