Check this out from June 7th…”We borrowed J’s slider today b/c I pulled a muscle in my neck the other day and wasnt able to move as much…I am moving classrooms and M and I were able to put full bookshelves on it and move them. You may have a new market there… schools and the custodians having to move such heavy stuff. I even moved a full bookshelf by myself.”

I lent a Professional model BigSlider™ utility mover to a guy who does flood remediation here in town. His two young helpers tried to move an 18 inch wide single drawer file cabinet from the middle of the row of file cabinets. Since the Professional is 23 1/2 inches wide, they couldn’t extract it. Our recommendation: next time start from either end of the row…then work toward the other end.
It’s easy! One office manager moved a fully loaded file cabinet over linoleum — by herself! — after everyone else had left for the day. Just tilt, load and slide. See more at http://www.bigslider.com
Note that I did not say “easy”. This thing is heavy and tough to move if you are not a professional. With the 
Bigslider™, it does become feasible for one or two people to do it (believe me, two is better!)
We had the piano in our front room that got flooded when an old dishwasher gave out on us one evening. We decided to put tile on the floor instead of replacing the carpet and our contractor moved the piano out of that room and into our den around the corner to park it there while the tile was laid.

The temporary “parking spot” was not far away, but this is a heavy object and awkward to handle. I don’t know how this could have been moved without my trusty Bigslider™
.
When I got my Bigslider™, I thought it was something I would use rarely. I am not a gardener, and I have given up doing most of the household projects that I undertook when I was younger and stronger and could see better.
I used it to move some big pots around in my back yard around the pool, and then to carry out some debris that I created trimming bushes and trees in the yard with the help of my neighbor’s son. After that, I stood it up in my garage next to the dryer. I had a few inches of space between the dryer and a stack of wire baskets next to the hot water heater. Then, I pretty much put it out of my mind.
One day, I ran over a loose piece of curb next to my driveway and it flipped out into the drive where I could not get by it. This was a big chunk of concrete and I did not want to pick it up! I remembered my Bigslider™ and pulled it out. Using a shovel, I could lever the concrete up enough to get the slider under it (without my having to lift anything!, and I pulled it into my backyard where I easily dumped it to be used later as some kind of edge, or something.
After that, it was one thing after another, until, one day, reflecting on what this tool has done for me, I realized that I have used it a lot! At this point, my list includes:
Right now, my Bigslider™ is parked under the piano, but I hope to restore it to its storage place in my garage next week after we get the furniture moved back into my newly floored living room where it will be readily available for it’s next unanticipated use. Who knows what to expect next?
What I do know is that my Bigslider is right there at the ready for whatever unexpected chore comes up, and I know I can do a lot around the house without risking being laid up with back strain by taking on the job myself!
