Moving can be hard. Packing up your whole life in a day or two comes with its fair share of bumps, bruises, and “Ow! My back!” Packing up boxes is the easy part, but when you are staring down your 250 pound fridge, you may start rethinking this whole do-it-yourself move thing. But, no need to fear!

QwikLift
Pots usually get left behind when most people move because the pots get so heavy and are so low to the ground that people think, ‘I don’t want to hurt my back bending down, low enough to securely grip the pot, then lift the heavy pot beginning from that super low starting point.’ QwikLift users don’t have to bend all the way down because QwikLift has straps that extend upwardly when grabbed by hand which allows its users to lift from approximately 25 inches higher than if lifting by hand alone. That higher lifting point gives the lifters leverage which makes the pot(s) you move seem much lighter.
