As we get older, we go through different stages in our lives. We live with our parents, then we move into dorms during college, then into an apartment we share with roommates until eventually we are able to buy our own places. Although these different stages in life are exciting and filled with new, fond memories, the thought of actually moving all your belongings can instantly give you a headache – or backache if you’re not careful.

Moving companies often provide you with dolly’s on wheels that help you lift boxes from point A to point B. But what about those awkwardly shaped appliances or furniture? The Shoulder Dolly LD1000 Lifting System Consumer Light Duty enables you to move bulky, heavy items in and out of your home and easily into a truck without the annoying wheeled dolly to get in the way. This Should Dolly is designed with comfort and safety in mind as it reduces back and hand pain and lets you go through otherwise difficult spaces such as stairs, doorways, turns and long paths. Made out of a strong cordura material with military style hardware, the Shoulder Dolly LD1000 can hold up to 800 lbs. of weight. For heavier items, or for just more comfort when moving, the Shoulder Dolly Lifting System ProLift Heavy Duty offers users a more vest-like design, with thick padding in the shoulders and upper back for added comfort. The Shoulder Dolly ProLift includes military-grade hardware, and adjustable moving strap to accommodate larger objects, two vests, and a carry bag.

For a more economical moving strap, the Forearm Forklift Moving and Lifting Strap is just as durable as the Shoulder Dolly and holds up to 700 lbs. Adjustable up to 48″, the Forklift Moving Straps feature steel hardware and heavy duty straps that account for mover height, object size and desired ground clearance. Users can purchase the Forearm Forklift Extension Strap to extend the original straps by almost 4 extra feet to accommodate those awkward wide items. Don’t strain your back or hurt yourself before you even get a chance to relax and enjoy your new surroundings.
