U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up during the Great Depression. Tires and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when U-Haul began serving U.S. customers. Today, that background is central to the U-Haul Sustainability Program: "Serving the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."  Our commitment to reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel-efficient moving vans, neighborhood proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded material and packing peanuts that are 100% biodegradable.  Learn more about these facts and others at uhaul.com/sustainability .

Lighten Your Load With Furniture Moving Equipment | Lifting Straps

There are many challenges to moving, as it can be a physically and mentally exhausting experience for most people. However, it’s the physical aspect of it that usually takes most people by surprise. Shifting around heavy boxes, loading awkward items and trying to figure out how to move appliances from place to place rank among the most difficult tasks that must be completed. This is where furniture moving equipment can be helpful. Furniture dollies, lifting straps and hand trucks are all tools that should be included in your arsenal when the big day comes.

Of course, it’s not necessary for you to own one of each of the above-mentioned tools. In most cases, one will suffice, but it’s up to you to choose which one to purchase. Lifting straps are among the most innovative of products when it comes to moving heavy appliances and furniture. They help reduce back strain and make it easier to take awkward items to the truck. The downside is that a lifting strap requires two people, so if you need to have more flexibility in terms of the number of hands needed, you might consider another type of furniture moving equipment.

Hand trucks and furniture dollies, while at their best when used by two people, can be used by a single individual. While a hand truck really shows its stuff when moving a refrigerator, it’s equally at home making quick work out of a stack of boxes. Instead of making multiple trips outside, simply stack the boxes on top of each other on the platform of the hand truck and let it do most of the work for you. Likewise, furniture dollies make quick and easy work out of a task that is otherwise difficult.

Strap-A-Handle is the easy way to carry more! Simply strap, snap, and go! Over 8 feet in length, the Strap-A-Handle is made of a sturdy nylon strap with a high density EVA foam handle for a comfortable grip. Strap-A-Handle can easily carry up to 50 lbs!
