Does anyone around Keller have any of these "Forearm Forklift" straps?

[yellowstang]

Moving a few heavy/awkward items up a flight of stairs this weekend and think these little gems could come in handy. Does anyone around the Keller area have any I can borrow or rent from ya?

TIA

Couple more people and some beer would work better.

Oh, no I don't.....sorry!

Check the Uhaul stores.
Those straps work great

[yellowstang]

Yeah, that probably would work too! It's not a lot of stuff, just a bulky ass king mattress, kids beds, dresser and small couch. So far it is me and 2 girls moving...

The damn mattress is going to be a PITA. The stupid thing has nothing to grab onto to try and pick it up with. I don't know how the hell we are going to get that up there unless I get something like these!


Edit: yeah Allan, I see UHaul, ACE and Sears sell them. Not much $, but I'll never use them again, so if someone has some I can borrow, that'd be great!

I've managed to make do with ratchet straps. Just tie a loop in each end, and bingo, fore arm forklifts! Not as Nice or comfortable, but it works.

Home Depot, save package and receipt, use and return

The trick to moving a mattress is to hug it like a fat girl.

Beat me to it, also have used 550 cord - in a ranger roll.

LOL!

Rob, just use some rope.

[Wicked98Snake]

I don't have one but I think that pic is funny!

Went to Home Depot and got a set for $20, so if anyone ever needs to borrow some later on, hollar!

If anybody does wanna help out Saturday, send me a PM and I'll send ya my address. It should be quick, maybe 3 or 4 truck loads total but mostly boxes we can do ourselves. I'll by lunch/drinks if ya can help! Probably start Saturday morning and just organize shit tonight and take the kids beds apart.

The move is about 2 miles from my house, off Beach street, north of Heritage Trace Pkwy.

I can walk to your house. Not on Saturday, but in regards to distance.
