So you are almost done your move, but you have saved the best items for last, your refrigerator, washer and dryer. You could risk hurting your back and use your hands to move these items OR you could work smart and take a healthier approach and use forearm straps to move these items.
Did you know that most chiropractors recommend using forearm straps when moving furniture. When you use forearm straps to carry items like a fridge it reduces the weight of this item being carried by 66%. Another benefit to using forearm straps is that the chances of damaging your floors are minimized compared to an appliance dolly because there are no wheels. Also turning an item using these straps has never been easier as your turning radius is tighter.
Of course there are a few negatives to using these straps. For one, if you are moving a piece of furniture that requires you to manipulate or turn mid move, like a couch, these will not work. Another negative is that your forearms are also susceptible to rash using these straps.
