I did a lot of moving, now I used these the first time and wished I had bought them earlier. They are very great for moving bulky and heavy objects.
On the flat, it’s a doddle to use. Stairs are trickier, but there’s a knack to it that you soon learn. (e.g. the bottom person should shorten their strap almost as short as it will go, and the top person shorten too, but not as much.) The bottom person absolutely does not bear all the weight, despite what one reviewer has said.
If you’re going to be moving heavy furniture, don’t hesitate to get this. Absolutely worth it.
We needed something to help with our house move. There are a lot of products on Amazon but settled on this based on the buckle being metal, and the options with wheels being impractical for stairs. This tool allows you to move with ease! Moving thinks like tumble dryers, washing machines, fridges, glass units and couches are very easy. My partner even helped me up the stairs with a TV bed, and the base was 140kg and we got it up stairs – not saying it was as easy as the other stuff as it was an awkward shape but still, we couldn’t have done it without this as there was nowhere to grip onto. It’s worth paying the extra from the plastic belt ones knowing it’s not going to snap and hurt you/break the item
This shoulder dolly tool worked way better than I expected.
It made it very easy to shift heavy items and saved me a lot of time and effort when moving house.
My washing machine felt light and it was long enough to move my corner couch.
Build quality is great. It’s very heavy duty.
Honestly can’t recommend it enough.
The old comment – “it’s not heavy just awkward”,, could be applied to a lot of us but in many instances it is applied to moving furniture etc..
Long story short – the wife was genuinely impressed with how easily we could now move some large items / appliances, particullarly considering our height difference..
We – would recommend!
Great product /idea!
We used this product to move a range cooker out of the kitchen and into storage. The cooker weighed well over 100kg and was to bulky to move any other way. The straps made this easy to lift and we even went down some stairs. Ideal. Saved us a fortune vs hiring a professional removal outfit. Would recommend for any heavy items including washing machine and fridges.
We had to move a very heavy desk through a narrow doorway – it would have been impossible without this product. Well made, robust and so simple to use. You may not use it every day, but its one of those invaluable tools to have in the house when it comes to decorating. Highly recommended.
An excellent product which saved us time, effort and most importantly, back pain. Had a 2m long 80kg box to lift and shift, and once it was on the strap, the whole process took about 2 minutes. Very easy to use, just make sure to feed the straps the correct way and always hold onto the load for stability.
Wow!!! what a difference this made when we recently moved. Made light work of an American double door fridge/freezer and large 3 seater sofa. use your hands to steady the item and let the shoulders and back take the weight. Wish I had one of these many moves and years ago. Worth every penny.
It takes a bit of practice getting to adjust it properly for different sized items but it works great. The most difficult part is when transporting items downstairs, if not correctly positioned can hurt your back/neck.
I have moved houses a few times due to career progression. The first time, my hubby and I did it all ourselves – we argued, we broke our backs and I said never again we would do this by ourselves. The next house moves we hired moving companies charging us 1,800 per move. This last move we went to do it ourselves again due to our financial situation, my hubby found this device and it’s the best gadget for lifting furniture in the world!! Very easy to use, sturdy and you can carry incredibly heavy and awkward shape furniture so easily, it feels so light and allows you to have your hands free to open doors, etc. Fully recommend it!!
I bought this to move a huge range cooker. I don’t think I would have been able to have moved it without this. Lifting is made easier as it transfer a lot of the weight into your legs. It also allowed me to get it through a doorway I wouldn’t have been to do just by lifting with my arms and hands as I’d have had to grab the sides of the cooker to lift it.
I’ll be using it again whenever I have something very heavy to lift.
It works, the straps are long enough, the only reason a star is removed is when using them on shorter/smaller items the excess strap gets in the way quite a bit. It could do with something to wrap or or hold it against the strap being used
I lift heavy appliances on a daily basis and this is a life saver, makes lifting effortless and I feel no pressure on my back!! Only reason I give it a 4* is because the price is a little expensive in my opinion. Great product overall
Very easy to use and great for lifting large awkward objects.
Moving house we did not have for loading the van at the old house, but had arrived by the time we were unloading at the new one. With the Shoulder Dolly the process was so much easier, the items of furniture that had been hard to hold/carry could now be moved with ease.
Only caution is to make sure the strap is threaded the right way otherwise can slip under load.
This made moving home a breeze. Amongst other things, we were easily able to carry a fridge freezer full of food and drink through the house and straight onto the removals van. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Made lifting and manoeuvring easy. Used on a 240cm sideboard easy. Small steps are easy but big steps are still very difficult. Good Technique is important as you don’t actually carry the weight with your arms it’s simply suspended from your core
Myself and my husband moved a fridge and a washing machine with these straps. We were able to transfer the washing machine out of the house and round to the garage which I know without these straps I would never have been able to do with him. The only downside is I find them quite uncomfortable on my shoulders compared to my husband (maybe because my shoulders are narrower I don’t know, but saying that I don’t think I am any more uncomfortable than when I try to lug things around by hand!
Would recommend these straps for heavy items.
Bought this for moving some larger bits of furniture in a house move.
The instruction leaflet is quite helpful, with some videos online to watch (which I didn’t as it seemed fairly straightforward).
It does take the strain and difficulty out of moving large items, including up and down stairs. People of different heights can adjust the straps to balance weight better.
Takes a bit of use to figure out how to manoeuvre stairs with the item balanced properly, but it makes a massive difference to backs and arms when you don’t have to hold things.
The tank itself (just the glass part) weighed 130kg.
Between my brother-in-law and I we lifted this weight between the two of us with these straps and made our way through 2 doorways and up and down a few steps until it could be settled on a set of waiting trolleys on level ground.
Both of us are regular fit blokes, no buldging muscles.
Would I do it again? This weight – not in a rush. We were finished afterwards and the weight bore down on our backs. However, we could never have done the same without this straps.
They are brilliant at what they do, and although the box claims you can carry up to 360kg between two people, I would doubt that claim unless you were trained in lifting massive weights.
I would probably limit the weight to around 100kg max.
This is a great piece of kit! I would not have believed how effective it is in moving heavy stuff. Because it is fitted as a harness both hands are completely free to control and steady the load. I used it for the first time shifting an American Style fridge freezer and it basically made the impossible easy!
Much better than the available forearm strops commonly used by delivery crews. Very easy to adjust to length. Yes, there is only a single strap, but that is all you need.
