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:

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.

These do not work. Don't read the rest of the reviews. Just trust me when I say these do not help you to move a tv, mattress, or fridge --if you are not initially strong enough to move them! These straps will barely help you. Just move it the old fashioned way.

This is truly a back saver. It's easy to use, has no moving parts to break and a bargain for the price. Using this item will insure lifting without pain or injury.The adjustment makes it perfect for individuals of varying heights.

These helped out tremendously when we moved. We moved mattresses, box frames, entertainment center, the refrigerator, and a very heavy treadmill. It helps since you can maneuver around with them while they "float."
A lady friend of ours helped move the treadmill just to try them out. Not sure about going up/down stairs, but i'd imagine it would be easier if you position the item higher by using the 3rd lowest arm hole.

This product definitely makes the lifting seem much less, especially if it hurts your fingers to lift heavy furniture. You get a great hold on objects. It's really hard going up and down stairs or ramps, though, because you can't seem to get the right posture.
