The Ready Lifter™ is the best way for a homeowner or renter to move furniture, appliances, mattresses, electronics, and more. With these straps, movers use leverage instead of brute strength. The straps won't make you any stronger than you are without them, but they're ergonomically designed to promote and facilitate proper lifting techniques. By lifting with your legs and carrying the load on your shoulders, the item feels lighter. This is a great tool to use when you are moving from houses or apartments. With a small and compact size, you can keep these in your trunk for those unexpected times you need to move things. The shoulder dolly works for both men and women, regardless of height. The Ready Lifter™ allows your hands and arms to be free to open doors, hold onto handrails, or to stabilize the object, without setting the item down. The straps are ergonomically designed to allow movers to stand upright when going up or down stairs. The Ready Lifter™ helps avoid damage to walls, floors, and doors that are common when using hand trucks. The recommended carrying capacity is up to 600 pounds, however, that is subject to the lifter's ability. If the item is 600 pounds, each person will need to lift approximately 300 pounds each.
