Lifting straps

Unread post by Onelife »

Hi, I’ve got to move a tall fridge/freezer and spin-drier and was thinking about purchasing these lifting straps. I do have a sack truck but I’m thinking the straps might be a better option? Have any of you used these before? If so, what was your experience with them?

P.s If any of you are available to give me a hand next week, I’ll throw in a bacon sarnie for your efforts :thumbup:

I used two HD ball bearing runners screwed to a lipped wooden base but HD casters can also be used.

These take up to 600kgs

I hate to see someone struggling moving heavy kitchen appliances and would really be glad to give you a hand Onelife, unfortunately the old back is not as stong enough nowadays.
The sack barrow should do the job well, just instruct Mrs Onelife on how to use it and offer vital information during the shifting..
I hope this helps Onelife, always here if you require further help.
Don't worry, be happy

I really thought you’d have known better than to ask these mickey taking lot on here.!

Unfortunately as much as I’d love to help,like Ray the old back is getting dodgy and the Bacon sarney is no good to me with the angina.

Good luck with it though Keefy.

And I bet it's not even a toasted bacon sarnie and cra**y streaky bacon in it......the cheap skate.

Hi Mob, I had thought about a dolly which would save on the bending (as would be the case with my sack truck) I think your suggestion is the better way to go so I’m thinking of buying this one…

The reviews are a bit hit and miss but its only got to last for this job,,,
with the sack truck as my fall back.

P.s I note you haven’t posted your availability, yet! Here’s hoping you are more forthcoming than the lame excuses I’ve got from my “could have been best mate forum friends” :shock: :)

Under normal circumstances I would have but the thought of my wife working out every possibility on how it could/should be done fills me with the same dread that I had when I met you in that cruise ship corridor :cry: :)

OL .... Dolly should be fine but I suggest it may be best to have a little helper to keep her steady :angel:
