How long can you walk with this straps? I want to move a 3 seat sofa within 0.2 mile, do I still need a truck?

I couldn't walk at all. Daughter and I attempted a sofa lift (neither of us are weaklings) followed the directions perfectly but it just wasn't making anything easier. We both about broke our backs and I ended up giving the straps to the professional moving company I hired. Might work better for someone else but not me.

I just move the whole thing back and forth. It takes me about 5 minutes using the LATCH system that both our cars have. This includes utilizing the 3rd attachment point from the rear of the seat to the front passenger seat mounts that's included with this seat. If you only used the LATCH attachment points it would take less than 5 minutes.

Depends on the length of your boats. I have 10 footers and I do not I use bunji cords and hook on the carry straps and hook back to the cross bars on my jeep. Boats never move.

I did not personally use the strap. My husband and his friend used it when moving large items like the washer/dryer and dresser up the stairs. They said that it definitely helped to take the load off of things, but it does not make things weightless! one of the main problems, was that the strap is not that wide and you would probably have difficulty keeping a hottub balanced. Would probably work w/ 2 w/ 4 people.

I walk an 85 lb shepherd with no problems. Not sure about 3 though. I love having hands free to clicker train and having full motion means we can walk faster. Love mine v

You're correct, they would not be beneficial. Only other suggestion is using sandbags (long tube type used for weight in the back of pickup trucks). You'll want something to keep it steady. It'll probably 'walk' on the concrete when being used. Good luck!

I cant measure the side to the mount, I am recovering from 2 recent surgeries and the 3rd is scheduled for the first week in January (one failed) I don't walk very good at this time) I can tell you, to detach the crane you just lift it out of its base, however it is heavy and the posts try and move apart. I just use a 1" wide utility strap and ratchet it tight, then lift out. I haven't tried to order an extra base, it would be nice though. I am planning on making this a trailer hitch mount as well, probably will be toward May, June depending on my back surgery success.

I used them on an old suitcase/trunk to make a footstool, so that isn't as much weight as a sleeper sofa would be. I think they are very sturdy and would work if you have the support underneath where you attach.

These straps are about 12 feet long and 3-1/2 to 4" wide. The shoulder harnesses are the same. I was lifting a bunch of tall cabinets and didn't need shoulder pads, although they were probably only about 200# each. I have moved, lifted and carrier a ton of stuff in my life and at $40.00 I wishthese were around as I would have bought these in a minute, even if I could have only used them once. They are well worth the money.

I bought these blind, because the Amazon description is not very detailed. They are rated 3000lbs breaking strength 1000lbs working load. I have not had a chance to use them yet, so I cannot comment on quality, however these are really nice heavy duty straps. Definitely several steps above your average ratcheting strap. I was moving and bought ~5 packs of straps from Amazon. I tried different companies since I was ordering multiple 4packs. These Goodyear straps are twice the size/strength of the other ratcheting straps I purchased. If you are looking for something larger to move heavy items these will be a good strap. If you are moving small stuff these are overkill, because they have heavy duty handles and hooks. -- these are big tie downs (AMAZON -- you need to update the technical information and more people will buy these straps)

1) I have 2-Scan armchairs. Each chair has 4-straps 2' long in one direction and 2-roughly 2 ' across. Adds up to 6-straps per chair and roughly 13' in all. So for the 2-armchairs I approximately used 26'. I have quite few feet left over. 2) The roll is continuous and in one whole piece. Hope this is helpful.

The straps were long enough to fit on a Ford Explorer category of vehicle (horizontally). It comes with 4 (if I remember right) but we only ended up using 2. Good thing, too...as one of plastic buckles broke during the first time we were hooking it to our luggage rack.

I think so. I drove over 2,000 miles cross country here in the U.S.A. at speeds between 65 and 75 mph, and the two straps sufficiently kept everything secure. It is important to check your straps at every stop, but I only had to retighten them slightly at about the 1,800 mile point in the trip.

I NEVER USE STRAPS. My suitcases are fully loaded so nothing moves around. So, I really don't know.

I do not use mine for this purpose. But I am sure they are plenty strong enough. I use these to lift beds off off of trucks they weigh a lot more than a person. These beds weigh from 350lbs to 600lbs. These straps are very strong.

No. You could move the truck but anything faster than walking speed and you would have issues.

Not designed for towing however you could use a strap and tow a short distance.?
