Easy to use. Needed for moving my mattress & dresser
I received a trailer ball instead of this item. I was very unhappy.

Does the 66% load reduction account for two people or is this reduction per person? For example, if a 100-lb object was lifted utilizing these straps, it would effectively reduce the weight to 44-lbs. Is this further divided by 2 as this load is split between the individuals, or is each individual now lifting 44-lbs.
Hi Zach. These are made or the weight to be evenly distributed per person. I hope that helps.
Can they be used by 1 person to move a full size mattress down 3 flights of stairs
Hi Glenn. You could try, let us know how it goes. The straps are mainly used by 2 people. Have a great day!
Can I use these to move a gas BBQ up/down stairs?
Hi Jeff, Yes it should work as long as you use it properly. I would suggest watching the How to Video first. Thank you for your question.
Can these lift a washer and dryer from the ground to the bed of a truck without a ramp?
Hello! Yes, when used carefully and properly, you could use the Forearm Forklift straps to lift a washer/dryer into a truck. Thanks for asking!
Would it work to carry a 125 lb TV that is only 29" wide x 20 " deep x 24.5" high up a staircase with a curve in it ?
Hello, Janice! Yes, Forearm Forklift moving straps will work for moving a TV of that size. Thanks for asking!
Are forearm lifting straps and appliance dolls for rent or just sale?
Hey, Daniel! The Forearm Forklift Moving Straps are for purchase only. However, we have multiple dollies that are available for rent or purchase, including the furniture dolly, the Utility Dolly and the Appliance Truck. You can purchase a dolly online or visit your local U-Haul Center to rent one. I hope that is helpful!
Can this help move a large dresser and full sized mattresses up three flights of stairs? I am 5'2 and my husband is 5'11 and I am afraid of the imbalance of weight and height affecting the upward climbing and would like something that equalizes things.
Hey Gaye, the Forearm Forklift Moving Straps should work for moving your dresser and mattresses, but please watch our video on How to properly use the U-Haul Forearm Forklift to insure that you and your husband use the straps as safely as possible. Thanks for your question!
can you move washers and dryers with the forarm forklift?
Yes, you can use the Forearm Forklift to move washers and dryers.
can it be used to move a large refridgerator
It absolutely can!
Does this work for a washer and dryer to take up a flight of stairs
Yes, you can use the Forearm Forklift to get a washer and dryer up stairs.
Thanks for asking!
Does it work for moving a piano?
Yes, you can move a piano with the Forearm Forklift!
Can these be used to move a 500lb hot tub? 80 by 80 by 34"? Could I use more than one set so we could have 4 people helping? Thanks.
Based on the size you note, I do not think there will be enough strap left to use this strap properly. Also, because I do not know the shape of the bottom of the tub, I can only suggest you do not use this product to move it. Sorry. Thanks.
Is it possible to rent these for the day of the move? If so, how much would it be? I think it would be good to have two sets. I won't need them any more after that day. Thanks.
Sorry. This product is not for rent. Thank you.
How do the straps work for carrying items up the loading ramp into the truck?
"They work great! There are three arm loops to choose from so the person on each end can put their arms in whichever loop is most comfortable for the height difference of going up the ramp. "
Do we need an extension to carry a king-size mattress and going upstairs at the end of the move?
"The extension strap is not necessary to move a king-size bed, but it will likely make it easier."
"The extension strap is not necessary to move a king-size bed, but it will likely make it easier."
Will this work on moving an armoire up a flight of stairs?
Depending on the size of the furniture, and if used properly, this should work. Yes.
What about moving very heavy eggshell shaped bbq? Will need to be moving it up and down stairs too.
Our moving supplies program manager writes: "Depending on how heavy the bbq is, take a look at the ShoulderDolly and Qwik Lift products as well as the Forearm Forklift. Hopefully one of these 3 items will be able to accommodate your needs."
Will it work for a 72 x 30 couch?
I calculate there will not be enough strap coming out from each end of the couch to use as designed. I do think however, if you used the strap extensions, you would be good to go. http://www.uhaul.com/MovingSupplies/Protective-stuff/Forearm-Forklift-Extension-Strap?id=11142
How well does it work with carrying a dresser up a flight of stairs?
I checked with the manufacturer of this product. Their response is as follows: "Would work well carrying a dresser up a flight of stairs. The straps contain inserts for different size items that allow you to adjust the straps to carry a dresser up stairs."
does it only work on things that are squared? What about things like treadmills?
Would work fine on a treadmill. The straps cross underneath the item you're lifting to "lock it in". The item you're moving does not have to be squared.
How does it work going down steps?
The weight of the load is on your forearms, allowing your legs to move freely up and down steps. For items like mattresses, it's really quite easy.
