Are Moving Straps Better Than Dollies?

Moving straps are a recent innovation that are preventing a lot of back pain

. These straps are constructed of very durable fabric and use to hold lift and move very heavy objects. A two person team using moving straps can easily move most appliances, furniture, and most other large objects weighing several hundred pounds.

The moving straps are placed underneath the appliance, and then coiled around both shoulders, so that two people can lift and balance the heavy appliance as it is walked out to a truck, or placed into a business or home. Different brands of moving straps use different anchor points on the body such as forearms or shoulders. These types of straps make moving much easier, and safer. Another benefit of lifting straps is that the user doesn't grip the object so his or her hands are free.

The shoulder straps are long enough to fit around most pieces of furniture, and they are also adjustable to fit around smaller furniture as well. Different brands of straps are used in slightly different ways, but they are all very long, some over nine feet.

These lifting straps were originally used in warehouses, but now many households and moving businesses rely on them when moving heavy objects.

Moving is now easier on the body and less of a chore. The amount of back injuries can be non existent when wearing these straps.

Some moving equipment can be expensive, but moving straps are very affordable. Anyone who is about to embark on a large moving project can afford shoulder straps. Injuries sustained because a person didn't use straps could end up being costly. The hospital bills could cost hundreds of dollars, compared to a twenty dollar investment that will keep people safe.

A mover is more vulnerable to back injury when carrying heavy objects up stairs. Shoulder lifting straps were created for these types of jobs. Going up and down stairs with large items is a cinch with shoulder straps.

Shoulder straps are also easier than using a dolly when traversing stairs. With a dolly the person has use their foot to push the dolly out so that it can roll down the stairs one at a time. It is a slow process by the time the person gets to the bottom of the stairs. Going up stairs with a dolly is even harder. With a lifting strap, both people can traverse a set of stairs in much less time.

Moving someone out of an apartment can only take half a day, compared to a whole day like most moving jobs are. Shoulder straps can also be worn by women. Moving large furniture does not have to be just a man's job anymore.

Women can move heavy furniture just as easy with shoulder straps. Lifting straps can also save floors and carpet from becoming damaged. When moving furniture without shoulder straps, the bulkiness of the furniture can scuff floors as it is scraped across due to its weight.

Using shoulder straps to move heavy items is a safe and cost effective solution. No moving job should be done without them.
