Hi All does anyone know of a supplier who specialises in manual handling aids in the North West (please feel free to PM me with any suggestions) Eg Lifting wet carpets something like a fishing gaff we also frequently transport a range of white goods from properties the problem is that the stairwells are very tight and the trollies and the wheelbase doesent turn Cheers Dave

Northern tool catalogue is where I purchased my set of Forearm Forklifts for about £20. Wouldn't dream of moving white goods without them. Excellent for upstairs and narrow width corridors. Find the video on the web and watch how they are used

Where can I find the scientific evidence for the claims of these straps (Forearm Forklifts.) I can just imagine taking a double bed Matress upstairs using these and one person slips dragging the other person down the stairs with the obvious consequences never mind the loading on the forearm.
