Carrying aids for furniture transport
Back-friendly and strong: the carrying system for real relief
Anyone who regularly moves heavy loads – working in the trades, in logistics, in relocation services or on construction sites, for example – knows how quickly physical strain can lead to health problems. One false move when carrying heavy objects and your back will start to ache.
This is exactly where innovative carrying systems come in: they provide relief specifically for the spine, promote ergonomic working and have been proven to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. For companies, this means fewer days lost due to illness, higher productivity and, last but not least, fulfilling their duty of care towards their employees.

Clever distribution of force – for a strong back
The special feature of manual carrying systems should be their well thought-out carrying principle, which is based on a simple but effective concept: instead of lifting the weight with a bent back and using the front of your body, the load is, for example, carried centrally between two people using a belt and carrying system – similar to a rucksack. The highlight here is the intermediate belt, which can be adjusted as required using adjustable clamp buckles. This distributes the weight evenly over the shoulders and back – exactly where the body is best built to deal with it.
Easy on the back – but also practical
This physiologically practical transfer of weight not only protects the spine and intervertebral discs, but also prevents typical complaints such as muscle tension and overloading of the lower back. An upright posture is automatically encouraged – and carrying heavy objects suddenly becomes surprisingly easy and safe. The hands remain on the transported goods to guide them safely – at the same time pressure on the back is relieved and an upright posture is supported.
Well thought-out design
Appropriate carrying systems should not only impress in terms of ergonomics, but also with a well thought-out design for everyday use: padded, snug-fitting shoulder and back elements, for example, offer a high level of comfort without digging into the skin. Excess strap material is securely stowed away – no tripping hazards, no loose ends. And if the carrying system is not needed, it can be stored on an integrated hanging loop or similar, ready for the next use.
Hygienic, uncomplicated and suitable for (almost) everyone
Thanks to continuous length adjustment, for example, the corresponding carrying systems are suitable for a wide range of transport tasks – from small boxes to large pieces of furniture. A special net for suspending the load further increases flexibility. Robustness must of course be a given: high-quality materials and tear-resistant seams for a sufficient breaking load and a long service life must of course be ensured – even intensive use must not cause any damage.
Thanks to standard sizes, carrying systems can be used in a variety of ways. For example, in combination with a variable strap design that fits almost any body shape. This not only makes it particularly user-friendly, but also cost-efficient – one set is then sufficient for many areas of application and many different people.
Another advantage: if the carrying system is low-maintenance, light soiling can simply be wiped off and, if necessary, the textile parts can even be cleaned by hand or machine washed – a benefit when it’s used regularly, even in a commercial environment.
Carrying systems make carrying easier – and back pain less frequent
Modern carrying systems offer exactly that: effective relief for the back, optimised posture and an improved sense of comfort when carrying. They consistently focus on maintaining your back health. The ergonomic relief effectively prevents musculoskeletal disorders – a lasting benefit for employees and companies alike.
In combination with back training, ergonomic movement and conscious body awareness, this creates the basis for long-term back health.
Try it out – your back will thank you!
- If you want to lift loads in a way that is ergonomic and gentle on your back, it is important to ensure that the carrying system distributes the load over the back and shoulders, reducing strain on individual areas of the body.
- A balanced load distribution that is not carried with the hands not only reduces the load on the back, but also ensures an ergonomic posture and more freedom of movement, for example via a belt system. This makes transport much more comfortable, and even stairs can be mastered with ease.
- It must be quick and easy to put on and take off, otherwise people will tend not to use it. At the same time, it must be possible to adjust it quickly and easily to suit the object that is being carried. Loops, hooks and eyelets that are not required must be able to be stowed away safely.
- The carrying system must be designed to carry both large and small objects easily without any complex modifications having to be made to the carrying system.
- The materials used must have a high breaking load and be durable. Appropriate certificates provide information and ensure safety.
- The carrying system’s eyelets and buckles must be well covered to protect the transported goods from damage.
