3.5 foot long EXTENSION THAT WORKS WITH MOVING STRAPS, which are ASIN B008ASBLJI, Extension helps move XL furniture and XL appliances, rated for up to 800 lb, sets up quickly, orange

I finally caved and bought the extension and it really made moving a mattress easier than with just the regular orange straps.

Muy resistente y fácil de usar.

These are amazing and work really well! I have moved apartments many times and it is always awful moving the big stuff. If you use these extension straps properly it helps a lot. My boyfriend and I used the original Forearm Forklifts plus the extension strap to move a 7-foot couch, king-sized mattress, clunky queen-sized futon. I've moved these same items before without the Forearm Forklifts setup and, while do-able with 2 people, was definitely difficult and very tiring. These straps made a significant difference. It makes moving big items much easier on the arms and lower back because you don't have to fully extend your arms or bend you back a certain way to get a good grip on the edge of the mattress or the rounded arm of a couch. This allows for proper lifting technique where you can use your core and some of your leg strength to do the work. They are not that expensive and save you so much discomfort. I highly, highly recommend the Forearm Forklifts if you're moving and then this extension strap thing as well if you're moving any large bulky items.

Love the product, and these extensions make it more versatile.

So glad I decided to buy the extension strap for the forearm forklift (FFL). Couldn't have made my last move without it. The extension strap makes it so much easier to move taller/longer items and is really unbelievably helpful in "lightening the load" so to speak. I'm a big fan of the FFL, and if you own the FFL be sure to buy this extension strap, especially if you have couches, large/tall dressers etc. to move, as it will certainly help your move. Stairs can be tricky for the person on the lower end, but still an irreplaceable help that will make challenging items a lot more easily moved.As an example, I used the FFL with the extension strap to move my very old, very heavy, 55" Mitsubishi television that I would estimate weighs somewhere in the range of 350-400 lbs. My girlfriend (all 5'7" 110 lbs. of her) and I moved the TV from inside the house, up the sloped driveway (a total distance of easily 300+ ft.) and into the moving van with absolute ease, not once needing to stop for hand placement readjustment or because the TV was too heavy. The two of us alone couldn't have done it with out FFL and the extension straps. If you're on the fence about the product... just buy it. You won't regret it.
