Lifting Straps

[teachnlearn]

Bought some moving equipment from Amazon years ago. Down loaded email today and got this from them. I'm in my 60s. If I was 20 I don't think I would use these on a frig. Maybe haul my wife out in a fire. Check the rating for lift weight. Anyone lifted that lately? RJF

I've seen variations on that, the best was in Germany.  The movers has a net, load a diskpack up, stand up, go down 4 flights of stairs.  or two guys, one on each end with an entertainment center in the net.

In Korea you would be surprised what they can carry on a simple A-frame with shoulder straps.

The weight rating on these straps is 600 lbs. Who is carrying a piano on their back?

With a knowledge of those countries, I'm guessing your Ex-Marine.

Looked at your profile. Your not far for Austin TX. My sister owns an Engineering firm there.RJF

My wife and I are Ex Navy, I think the countries you mentioned had some pretty good sized Marine bases from memory. Had Marines aboard the ship. Always comments between the two. Navy guys always pushed the Marines paycheck was from the Navy. Yep, was in WAAAAY back when we got paper checks issued. RJF

Rick, When I saw your attachment it reminded me of something I saw many moons ago, but it has taken till now to find it again. Here's one from 1975.
