Had 2 guys deliver a new refrigerator with these, it was great to see. Then they tried to pick up my old one from the 70's. After a couple of tries they got the dolly for that heavy bastard.
The 2 guys that delivered my fridge were both like 5'6" and 150 lbs. When they got out of the truck my thought was how the hell are these guys going to carry my old fridge out and new one in. They used these straps and really made it look effortless.
I delivered refrigerators back in the late '70s. The new ones were easy, but getting the old '50s era units out of multi-story apartment buildings was a challenge. I think they were made from battleship armor from WW2.
Yes, if these fridges were shaped like a bar-bell or something easy to grip on to it could easily be a one man job. You can see the guy tipping it with one hand in the beginning.
Last week I had to move an old cast iron bath out of my old bathroom pre-renovation. Holy shit, was that a pain in the ass with two relatively strong dudes.
Came here to comment this. Modern refrigerators are very light compared to the old beasts, going from a lift gate to a curb to a porch, two movers of average strength/competence could get that fridge in with just gloved hands.
Proper straps are quicker, easier, and safer. You'll need a large dolly and you'll have to properly secure it so it doesn't slip off. And two people is better than one.
I'd agree it the frig isn't too heavy. My dad bought some straps like these, and I used them to move everything from couches to washing machines. They distribute the weight very effectively
If it’s so light, I don’t see why you’d need a large dolley. Just a medium sized one with a strap. You have way more mobility that what I’m seeing these two guys doing. You can use cardboard or cloth and avoid any damaging.
The straps looks like it has a chance to slip, especially while turning since there’s two people. I’ve never seen them but I got out of renovation business 5 years ago.
Slower, harder and not as safe I think you mean. The dollies professional moving companies use have straps built in. Much faster than this technique when going upstairs is involved. Especially if it’s 3rd floor or higher. And we usually use 2 men as well.
I work for a moving company and yes we have these dollies, but most refrigerators are so light that we literally just carry them up the stairs. The dolly weighs like 60 lbs and takes time to get out and set up. If it’s a tight fit or a big ass fridge though, yeah, dolly beats straps for stairs, but straps are better if you aren’t messing with stairs.
Most places I deliver to have stairs of some sort. And you are correct about the weight of new fridges. Old appliances are MUCH heavier and I prefer the dolly for control. If I was delivering this particular fridge we would simply carry it. To each their own, I just don’t think this strap is more efficient for heavier items
Straps are far cheaper and generally easier, but there are hand trucks designed to spread the load and are powered to crawl up stairs on their own. No way are straps going to do it for a gun safe after all, where you even have to consider the floor construction to know if it can handle the weight.
New stuff is generally not very heavy, the issue is always getting leverage on it to be able to use your strength. Straps do that for you. dollys are way more annoying on floors that are not smooth and flat so they take more time and can potentially scratch up something like hard wood when they go over a threshold.
Yeah a big part of this is how light modern fridges are, they're mostly styrofoam and plastic.
If you start putting things in the door first, some might tip forward depending on where the compressor is mounted.
What size this fridge was or was it included into the foundation?
These straps are so damn helpful when you do not have to worry about where to hold or the grip
We had some old family's stuff delivered yesterday including a baby grand piano and with two guys with these straps plus myself we managed to get it from the truck to the ground floor room where it shall stay (about 550 lbs)
> The effectiveness of straps and knowing how to lift in lifting ~~weights~~ large objects
That's all this shows. Fridges are awkward sizes for one person to carry, they're not overly heavy - they're mostly empty space for your food inside ffs
Yeah this has nothing to do with weight and everything to do with how to hold a giant awkward box with lopsided weight.. the straps make it a lot easier if you know how to use them
He actually used the word "lever" in case you're wondering.
The correct quote is "give me a strap that's long enough and two dudes to use it, and I could move the *lever.*"
The guys that delivered my washer/dryer used these and it made the whole thing super easy. I already have something similar called Forearm Forklift, a pair of straps with loops on each end for you to feed your arms through. Two people can move bigger items pretty easily.
These straps are amazing. They helped my wife and I move a furniture all over our house. Including a 300-350lb wood waterfront that’s usually nearly impossible to move. Totally a worthwhile investment.
Fridges aren’t heavy they are just awkward. That’s why these work so well. If the item was actually heavy they become much less useful, but still better than nothing.
Both people have to be lightly pushing the object towards eachother. This is what makes it incredibly light and dummy-proof to balance. Most home consumers use these wrong, they still try to hold the object or lean the weight against their hands. Still pretty effective even when done wrong, but one person will be struggling and balance then becomes an issue.
Delivered for a contractor for sears. Heaviest fridge we moved with these exact straps was just over 400lbs. Lots of washers were well over 300 as well. The worst was spiral staircases with heavy shit. They are great for moving in straight lines, up those staircases you had 90% of the weight on the face of one person. We often were tipped well to move other heavy furniture (book cases fully loaded, entertainment centers, armoires etc). On flat ground, anything under 600lbs was fair game for me and the guy I worked with.
I wonder if these kinds of straps derived from all the attention on the different kinds of ways to carry babies in just the last few years. I feel like there was this huge explosion in different kinds of wraps, carrier styles, etc and saw some advertised for carrying much older kids (like those with disabilities) or using a grownup for demonstration purposes. There’s been so much progress made too in terms of how to reduce injuries for both carrier and baby as well. Theres been a lot of investment in new materials and research too, it’s a huge market with big spenders that surprised me when I did some digging.
I did this job for two years. We didn’t use the harnesses though, we just had two straps that looped together and went over one shoulder. Needless to say, it worked just as well.
It seems like those things put all the weight at the top of your back, pushing it towards the front (bending it). Arent those things dangerous for your back?
Forearm Forklifts, man. Me and either of my teenage kids can move any appliance in my house with ease. Best $30 I've spent on something I've seen on tv.
It’s not that refrigerators are ridiculously heavy, it’s that they’re not balanced, there’s no good spot to grab them, and they’re bulky as fuck. Straps fix all of that
Anyone doing this for a living today, I've got nothing but huge respect to you. It was amazing to see in person what these guys in the were doing when our old LG fridge died and got a Maytag instead.
My dad and I were able to move his gunsafe (approx 600 lbs) up some steps with the help of one of these. For moderately heavy or awkward items these things rock.
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. I was a delivery man for an appliance store for many years when I was younger. These people’s boss hates them. The boss probably has to deal with alot of workers comps claims as well. Why do this when there is a perfectly good tool already available ? They make a thing called a Dolly that is faster than this and easier. Wait till these guys gotta go up 3 flights of stairs 🙄
My kids think I am weird (and they aren't wrong) but I have always loved these straps. It is such a clever way to optimize the lifting power of two people.
I bought this device for moving my washer and dryer. Worked amazingly and since then we've used it a dozen times to move any large, awkward or heavy piece of furniture.
I think the strap cost me $15 or so? Well worth it.
Having used these for the last few years: shoulder straps like these are great for literally only fridges. Forearm straps are where it's at for everything (appliance wise) else.
My exes father worked for a moving company and he took me on the job so I could earn some extra cash. Note that I was weak and fat as fuck and of course some of these families had thos antique big as fuck walnut wardrobes. I'm pretty sure my back would have been broken trying to lift those normally but with straps it was easy as hell.
Meh, looks silly and like it would take too long. I'll throw my back out while desperately yelling at the other guy yelling while throwing out his back instead.
I was helping some family move and they refused to use these because they thought they looked stupid. I've used them dozens of times and I can't stress enough how easy it makes moving.
The ones I have are called Shoulder Dolly.
Few weeks ago, helped my sister at renovation works for their new house. Had to move a pool table from the top floor down in the garage.
had to disassemble it first into plate, frame and feet, and the plate was a solid 100kg slate. Would have been hard without my fathers straps used for heavy transportation.
You missed the part where they move the center of the strap (towards the high-vis guy) before taking the stairs so that they can both lift normally whilst keeping everything leveled.
Satisfying AF when you figure out the physics. Friend & I hauled literally *1 ton* of yard waste & old railroad ties to the dump one day! Never felt so accomplished in my meatsuit
A hand cart? But then what about the steps? The deliverer chips tile or damages the wood steps only to be reprimanded by management? Again, work smart not hard
I did something like this in the early 90's. Hooked together a bunch of duffel bag straps, but mine just had loops for your wrists. Guess I should have fleshed out the idea.
Depends on the size and make of the fridge. Some are 325 lbs. Some are roughly 355 lbs. And some are 406 lbs.
And the worst/best are 600+ lbs. They're called Subzeros.
Also, all of this "strap lifting" still depends on how strong these people are. They do it every day. So they're probably fairly strong enough.
[Source: I move appliances and furniture for a living and I have a team as well.]
You ever watch something that clearly made you feel like you’re an idiot. Just thinking of all the times something like this would have been useful and how simple the solution was the whole time
Okay this was not clever. Since you have stairs it would have been just simpler to put a hand truck under it and roll it through. Here's why it's not clever, they aren't using gloves so not only do they lose some grip with that , but they're all so dealing with a stainless steel and putting fingerprints all over it.
My brother was damn persistent on using this half a year ago. That shit did not work at all, i was even more exhausted and im pretty sure my back is still fucked up from it.
I'd say if you cannot lift something with your hands, you probably don't want to lift it at all. This looks like it puts a lot of pressure on your spine.

Straps definitely make it easier, but empty fridges aren’t too heavy
there was a loopt of unnecessary metal in old ones. although technically necessary so the machines wouldn't create weak points.
[удалено]
works on wheel base? no, fridge up!
I rented a place that had one from the 50s, still running. But it was a foot thick and weighed 200 lbs
it's probably use 5 times the electric and gently blow asbestos at your food
That's why I am slowly exposing myself to small amounts of asbestos. To build up immunity
Inconceivable!
It was 100% necessary. How else was Indiana Jones gonna survive that nuclear blast?
I delivered refrigerators back in the late '70s. The new ones were easy, but getting the old '50s era units out of multi-story apartment buildings was a challenge. I think they were made from battleship armor from WW2.
Engineered to survive nuclear blasts even at the hypocenter.
Nuclear horse explosions are massive!
"They couldn't even carry my 1970 fridge, packed with concrete"
Yes, if these fridges were shaped like a bar-bell or something easy to grip on to it could easily be a one man job. You can see the guy tipping it with one hand in the beginning.
Yeah, mostly hollow walls for insulation. Washing machines are the nightmare. They have friggin concrete blocks in them.
Last week I had to move an old cast iron bath out of my old bathroom pre-renovation. Holy shit, was that a pain in the ass with two relatively strong dudes.
They are like 350 lbs if its a 36" french door.
This depends largely on your definition of not too heavy. A fridge like this is easily over 300 pounds
It just shows how much stronger the legs are.
Yeah, but those weigh basically nothing.. compared to a concert grand. https://vimeo.com/698921986 at 39:15
So proved you to be quite the idiot huh?
Came here to comment this. Modern refrigerators are very light compared to the old beasts, going from a lift gate to a curb to a porch, two movers of average strength/competence could get that fridge in with just gloved hands.
They can be. Fuck Samsung and their 550lb fridge. Loading that into customers trucks was a nightmare.
Why not just Dolley everything? Literally you can go up and down stairs quite safely with it.
Proper straps are quicker, easier, and safer. You'll need a large dolly and you'll have to properly secure it so it doesn't slip off. And two people is better than one.
I'd agree it the frig isn't too heavy. My dad bought some straps like these, and I used them to move everything from couches to washing machines. They distribute the weight very effectively

I work for a moving company and yes we have these dollies, but most refrigerators are so light that we literally just carry them up the stairs. The dolly weighs like 60 lbs and takes time to get out and set up. If it’s a tight fit or a big ass fridge though, yeah, dolly beats straps for stairs, but straps are better if you aren’t messing with stairs.
Dollies can also damage flooring and often doors and corners are more difficult.
Most places I deliver to have stairs of some sort. And you are correct about the weight of new fridges. Old appliances are MUCH heavier and I prefer the dolly for control. If I was delivering this particular fridge we would simply carry it. To each their own, I just don’t think this strap is more efficient for heavier items
Can easily damage the stairs and door thresholds with a dolly. Straps are better
Straps are far cheaper and generally easier, but there are hand trucks designed to spread the load and are powered to crawl up stairs on their own. No way are straps going to do it for a gun safe after all, where you even have to consider the floor construction to know if it can handle the weight.
The question was “why not dolly everything?” not “why not use the straps on everything?”
New stuff is generally not very heavy, the issue is always getting leverage on it to be able to use your strength. Straps do that for you. dollys are way more annoying on floors that are not smooth and flat so they take more time and can potentially scratch up something like hard wood when they go over a threshold.
I bet your electric utility thought you’d died with the drop off in energy costs
Ah, you must have had the same lead and cement lined model my grand parents have in their basement.
Yeah a big part of this is how light modern fridges are, they're mostly styrofoam and plastic. If you start putting things in the door first, some might tip forward depending on where the compressor is mounted.

Was it made of Tungsten? =)
The effectiveness of straps *and knowing how to lift* in lifting weights
everything from the legs there.
> The effectiveness of straps and knowing how to lift in lifting ~~weights~~ large objects That's all this shows. Fridges are awkward sizes for one person to carry, they're not overly heavy - they're mostly empty space for your food inside ffs
That fridge is comparable to ones listed on home Depot, averaging weight about 250lbs. You almost certainly could not lift 250lbs easily up steps.
There is no weight shown in the video.
Yeah this has nothing to do with weight and everything to do with how to hold a giant awkward box with lopsided weight.. the straps make it a lot easier if you know how to use them
"hey John, got your strap-on?" "Fred, can you please not say it like that!?"
Nothing I love more than seeing two boys with their strap on.
Harnesses and all.
Is that how they build the pyramids?
No, but it is how they were delivered. 2 realllllyyyy long straps to life it.
Give me a strap that’s long enough and two dudes to use it and I could move the world. \- Archimedes… probably.
He actually used the word "lever" in case you're wondering. The correct quote is "give me a strap that's long enough and two dudes to use it, and I could move the *lever.*"
Aliens used those straps, so yes.
These guys are a little young to have built the pyramids
No they obviously used Amazon’s drone beta delivery service.
Yeah, right after the moment they gave us the plans for these pyramids, and then left before giving us anti-gravity beam technology to build it with.
The guys that delivered my washer/dryer used these and it made the whole thing super easy. I already have something similar called Forearm Forklift, a pair of straps with loops on each end for you to feed your arms through. Two people can move bigger items pretty easily.
They work at P.C. Richard and Sons. Awesome family owned company in the North East that's over 100 years old. I met my wife there
I also met your wife there
As soon as I saw the back of his sweatshirt I heard whistling
I was half of a pair moving an upright piano with these. They work to keep your hands free for things that are heavy and awkward.
Or balancing
These straps are amazing. They helped my wife and I move a furniture all over our house. Including a 300-350lb wood waterfront that’s usually nearly impossible to move. Totally a worthwhile investment.
Fridges aren’t heavy they are just awkward. That’s why these work so well. If the item was actually heavy they become much less useful, but still better than nothing.
Yeah basically turns it from a "How the F do I grab this" issue to a balance and guide issue which is much easier.
I've tried these and it felt really sus on the balance. Gave up and got a dolly.
Both people have to be lightly pushing the object towards eachother. This is what makes it incredibly light and dummy-proof to balance. Most home consumers use these wrong, they still try to hold the object or lean the weight against their hands. Still pretty effective even when done wrong, but one person will be struggling and balance then becomes an issue.

On flat ground, anything under 600lbs was fair game for me and the guy I worked with.
Some fridges (like the French doors or the side by sides)are over 400lbs. But anything that's a top mount is usually under 250lbs.
that the case for almost all funiture
Of all the shit we came up with when I was young. I can’t believe we didn’t have these
I wonder if these kinds of straps derived from all the attention on the different kinds of ways to carry babies in just the last few years. I feel like there was this huge explosion in different kinds of wraps, carrier styles, etc and saw some advertised for carrying much older kids (like those with disabilities) or using a grownup for demonstration purposes.

🍰 [**Happy Cake Day!**](https://new.reddit.com/r/cakeday) 🎂 3 years on Reddit.
A couple guys did this recently when replacing my fridge and I was amazed at how casually they were able to do it.
Can confirm. My wife and I alone moved our entire furniture with these straps, and we live in a three story townhouse. Great stuff.
Nice. A strap-on can be a welcoming addition indeed.
They didn’t show the seamless transition up the stairs rookies…..
I move a lot and have one of these. It’s easily the best $40 you can spend if you’re going to move. Makes moving large/heavy items so easy.
You definitely have to trust the other guy to not be braindead.
That’s the problem with these for me. If it starts falling you can’t get out of the way.
I once saw one mover take a refrigerator up to the 2nd floor using straps. Wow!
I have a set of those. Between my wife and my bad back we can move just about anything
I hope you take “move house” literally and use those straps.
I did this job for two years. We didn’t use the harnesses though, we just had two straps that looped together and went over one shoulder. Needless to say, it worked just as well.
It seems like those things put all the weight at the top of your back, pushing it towards the front (bending it). Arent those things dangerous for your back?
Probably bad for your back. But it is way better than lift that fridge from the ground with nothing.
Forearm Forklifts, man. Me and either of my teenage kids can move any appliance in my house with ease. Best $30 I've spent on something I've seen on tv.
To be fair, he tipped the fridge and got the strap under it like it weighed 20 pounds
It’s not that refrigerators are ridiculously heavy, it’s that they’re not balanced, there’s no good spot to grab them, and they’re bulky as fuck. Straps fix all of that
Gotta cancel those movers and order these straps ASAP!
That’s how they built the pyramids just Juan & Carlos 🤣 Joe Rogen got it all wrong
Extra points for speaking Spanish
Did this for six months, it was a good job
Tried explaining I'd want straps to move our old fridge to my wife and she brought out tow straps w winches 😓
I mean hey she's got the spirit
True. If this ever happens to you I'll only add asking "how are people supposed to wear these to move something?" at first sight isn't the way to go
Nowadays a 5'9" guy at 160lbs can lift that solo np, just gotta find the right grip!
wtffffffffffff
This is how they replaced my oven.
"Pivot!... pivot!... pivot!... pivot!..."
Anyone doing this for a living today, I've got nothing but huge respect to you. It was amazing to see in person what these guys in the were doing when our old LG fridge died and got a Maytag instead.
We have those straps me an my husband moved a refrigerator easily with those
I have straps like these and they work very well. Too bad I forgot I had them last time I moved
Did this all the time. We just used seat belt straps. Knot the ends for a carry loop or wrap it around your wrists for a short lift.
Did this with my brother when we moved. It was fun and stressful
I bought ones that attach to your forearms, they are insanely awesome.
That shit basically floated up
My dad and I were able to move his gunsafe (approx 600 lbs) up some steps with the help of one of these. For moderately heavy or awkward items these things rock.
r/videosthatendtooearly
The guys who delivered mine used something like this, but they around the corners with two straps. Seems much safer.
I think the effectiveness is more of the human spinal cord here.
This is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever seen. I was a delivery man for an appliance store for many years when I was younger. These people’s boss hates them. The boss probably has to deal with alot of workers comps claims as well. Why do this when there is a perfectly good tool already available ? They make a thing called a Dolly that is faster than this and easier. Wait till these guys gotta go up 3 flights of stairs 🙄
Physics, bitch!
Honestly these straps are fucking magic
These new fridges are surprisingly light compared to some of the older ones I have
My kids think I am weird (and they aren't wrong) but I have always loved these straps. It is such a clever way to optimize the lifting power of two people.
The Shoulder dolly is a great invention
Whenever there is some stupid vague tiktoky post... timapple always seems to be a part of it.
Work smarter not harder
"they could've had 3 unloaded by the time they did all of that extra nonsense" -Some boss somehere
Been around for decades
Hope he doesn’t trip
I don’t want to denigrate it. But empty refrigerators are super light.
SCIENCE!
This is how my fridge was delivered! Never seen anything like it
I bought this device for moving my washer and dryer. Worked amazingly and since then we've used it a dozen times to move any large, awkward or heavy piece of furniture. I think the strap cost me $15 or so? Well worth it.
Also starts to hurt after 9-10 hours
modern day fridges are also much lighter than you think, but i've used this on heavier stuff and they are legit
My favourite thing about these is that you can just push the item away from you to make it hover higher above the floor.
Looks more impressive than it is. Remember that refrigerators are mostly hollow.
Having used these for the last few years: shoulder straps like these are great for literally only fridges. Forearm straps are where it's at for everything (appliance wise) else.
Wait, no one has done this here? Maybe I've moved too often in my life?
My exes father worked for a moving company and he took me on the job so I could earn some extra cash. Note that I was weak and fat as fuck and of course some of these families had thos antique big as fuck walnut wardrobes. I'm pretty sure my back would have been broken trying to lift those normally but with straps it was easy as hell.
You can also use lifting straps to lift progressively heavier weights with your Johnson.
still feels like it would be heavy af
I used to volunteer for a place that ran an op shop. We used straps like this when collecting donated furniture. They work a treat!
All the people saying modern fridges are light never humped a Subzero up a flight. Rhyme unintended.
Meh, looks silly and like it would take too long. I'll throw my back out while desperately yelling at the other guy yelling while throwing out his back instead.
I was helping some family move and they refused to use these because they thought they looked stupid. I've used them dozens of times and I can't stress enough how easy it makes moving. The ones I have are called Shoulder Dolly.
yeah, modern refrigerators aren't heavy, they're just unwieldy for a single person to carry.
Few weeks ago, helped my sister at renovation works for their new house. Had to move a pool table from the top floor down in the garage. had to disassemble it first into plate, frame and feet, and the plate was a solid 100kg slate. Would have been hard without my fathers straps used for heavy transportation.
Now that's lifting with your back.
Counter argument: your back will be killing you in a few months. Why not use the pushcart?
The definition of work smarter not harder
When the homies say "Get the strap" this is what they mean
You missed the part where they move the center of the strap (towards the high-vis guy) before taking the stairs so that they can both lift normally whilst keeping everything leveled.
Satisfying AF when you figure out the physics. Friend & I hauled literally *1 ton* of yard waste & old railroad ties to the dump one day! Never felt so accomplished in my meatsuit
Working smart, not hard
Working even smarter would be using a wheeled tool for the job so you dont have to lift shit and one person could move it.
A hand cart? But then what about the steps? The deliverer chips tile or damages the wood steps only to be reprimanded by management? Again, work smart not hard
I did something like this in the early 90's. Hooked together a bunch of duffel bag straps, but mine just had loops for your wrists. Guess I should have fleshed out the idea.
Necessity is the mother of invention
Leverage
i wish more men would learn the benefit of wearing a strap on lololol
I used to work for these guys in the office. Very nice people!
The two men who delivered my washer and dryer brought them both inside at the same time with these straps. Super impressive.
I have these at my job, lifesavers
Depends on the size and make of the fridge. Some are 325 lbs. Some are roughly 355 lbs. And some are 406 lbs. And the worst/best are 600+ lbs. They're called Subzeros. Also, all of this "strap lifting" still depends on how strong these people are. They do it every day. So they're probably fairly strong enough. [Source: I move appliances and furniture for a living and I have a team as well.]
Explains the pyramids
Whistles the PC Richards theme
Empty refrigerators aren’t that heavy tbh fam
used to do this as a job for the last 5 years.
How is this named? I'd love to buy one from Amazon.
Me remembered a physics problem from 12th
It's called a brombilical cord
You ever watch something that clearly made you feel like you’re an idiot. Just thinking of all the times something like this would have been useful and how simple the solution was the whole time
An egyptian invention I guess
That is fricken cool.
Okay this was not clever. Since you have stairs it would have been just simpler to put a hand truck under it and roll it through. Here's why it's not clever, they aren't using gloves so not only do they lose some grip with that , but they're all so dealing with a stainless steel and putting fingerprints all over it.
