Easily load cargo — loading on SAAB 340A

Cargo was getting caught on seat rails

Cargo Loading is Easier with BigSlider™ Professional

One customer had a problem with cargo hanging up on the rails for seats in his SAAB 340A. (You can see the rails going fore and aft in the photo.)

He purchased a Professional model to smooth over the rough spots along the rails so the ground crew could more easily load the aircraft cargo hold.

“The tests have gone well. The unit works great.”

Thanks for that feedback, KC. Be safe!

 

How to easily move fully loaded file cabinets – Safely…and twice!

March 26th, 2012
Easily move heavy file cabinets

Nobody was hurt!

I checked back in with our customer who was “looking forward” to rearranging the fully loaded file cabinets in the office. Here’s what he had about safely moving the heavy cabinets: “Nobody was hurt.” We LOVE to hear that!

“It went really well. That thing really slides on carpet, and doesn’t do badly over hard floor either!

There are a few divots in the slider due to the weight of the filing cabinets (leaving a circular ‘footprint’ from the levelers) but the slider was not breached and it continues to serve. Most importantly, nobody was hurt.

My crew (of office workers) gamely rearranged the filing cabinets in my absence – but the plan had not been finally approved, so we had to completely redo/rearrange everything. I was a part of that process, and I was very pleasantly surprised at the ease with which we moved (fully loaded) cabinets.

My best to you and thanks!”

One fellow found us through the YouTube video from the auto mechanic’s shop.  His auto restoration project is a 1980′s Toyota Corolla, and he needs to move a heavy car engine. EJ of South Carolina picked the Wider model for his tool of choice. The Professional model is shown in this photo.

Moving heavy filing cabinets for office space redesign — looking forward to it?

March 9th, 2012

This customer needs to move heavy lateral filing cabinets to redesign the office space!

“I look forward to moving filing cabinets…wait…did I just say that!?

We plan to really improve our office space by reallocating filing cabinets away from useable space, so this [BigSlider™ Professional] tool will be a real boon to our office environment and work process.

Regards,
JR”

Better than a wheelbarrow for hauling firewood – Heavy Duty Tray!

March 9th, 2012

One customer from Ohio expects using the Heavy Duty Tray will be better than a wheelbarrow for hauling firewood. We don’t have a photo of that, so here we’re showing Mag Ruffman using the Professional to turn her logs on a dime. (Video takes a few moments to load – but well worth it!)

“This looks like a terrific product, and my wife and I look forward to using it. Our first step in using the tray is going to be to ditch the blasted wheelbarrow we’ve been using to haul firewood to the house and load up the tray.
No more tipping over, bumping up and over ledges, backstrain…Yippee!

Cheers,
KL”

Easily move heavy martial arts punch bag (and theater props?)

February 13th, 2012

The Bigslider I ordered from Amazon (as per your advice [for overseas delivery]) arrived safely.
It is an ideal tool for moving my Century XXL Wavemaster free standing punch bag. Could have been slightly wider for me but it does the job.
These types of martial art equipment are a real pain to shift around and the Bigslider made it so much easier.
I think you should market this to Martial Art clubs. Nearly every good club has a few free standing bags and heavy gym equipment. I think you have a market there. Definitely worth a video on your site.

Thinking outside of the box. Have you considered marketing to theatres? I am sure the guys that do the stage setting and arranging would benefit from your product. Just a thought.

Cheers, CN (England)

Easily move heavy flat screen TV with swivel

Easily move heavy flat screen TV swivel

Easily move heavy flat screen TV swivel Another great use for BigSlider™ StackSaver™

“Hi Jeri!

I have one of your Big Sliders and also a Stack Saver.

I have found another use for the small Stack Saver and was wondering if one can be cut to even a smaller size?  I had an old 19″ TV on my kitchen counter sitting on a special-made lazysusan so the TV could be turned to also view it from our kitchen table.  We just purchased a new 22″ flat screen TV and the turntable is much too large for it.  I had the great idea of trying my Stack Saver to swivel the new TV and it works!!!  However, the slider doesn’t have to be quite that large so I was wondering if you could make a smaller version.  The measurement of the black stand the TV is attached to, measures 5 3/4″ x 10 1/2″.  The slider should probably be a little larger than that — not sure how much, in order to move it around.

Will appreciate you letting me know if this is possible.
Thanks!” — JH, DE

Hi Jan – I recommend you cut down only to the length you need and use the hand hole to rotate it with. You can cut it carefully with a new blade in a carpet knife/box cutter and use a metal rule as a guide (such as carpenters use).

I also recommend to cut the newly formed corners off at an angle to keep them from poking – they are quite sharp should anyone run into them.

Happy to hear from you! Jeri

“It was dark by the time we had found our deer. We’ve also been using “Big Slider” for a lot of useful things out around the yard.” – GG, WI

Gary shows us how to easily move heavy doe with one person. Great for the alone or solo hunter. And, it’s helping out with yard work, too. That’s why we call them “utility” movers! — Jeri

See our videos on Moving a Buck and Attachment details for moving a buck

Video Transcript:

My name’s Gary. I’m going to demonstrate the BigSlider. I live in an area for deer hunting. We have to shoot a doe – it’s called herd control or “earn a buck.”  We have to shoot a doe before we can shoot a buck. In this situation, here’s my doe. I shot my doe, filled my doe tag. Now I can hunt my big buck.

Here’s BigSlider put to use. Put the doe on the slider, got it out of the woods. But this is how easy she sled. I wanted to demonstrate it coming out of the woods, but the camera wasn’t with us. Didn’t anticipate this happening tonight…but same situation.  Right there.

That’s how easy she slides. All to BigSlider – makes things a lot easier. Here’s one-handed!

Didn’t have BigSlider when I dragged it out of the swamp – it was son-of-a-gun getting it out of the swamp – but, there you go. Thanks BigSlider!
