Ergonomic Lifting Device

Handi-Straps is a simple device consisting of an over-the-shoulder strap that connects to the wrists, transferring and evenly distributing the weight of a load from the hands to the shoulder area and the entire upper back. Handi-Straps enables the upper body to maintain a straight posture while lifting and can make loads feel up to 50 percent lighter. The hand loops feature extended, rubberized straps designed to secure objects to the hand with greatly reduced strain for the fingers, hands and wrists. Handi-Straps provides a safer, ergonomically friendly way to lift heavy objects. RJL Innovations
