Moving a big load of branches

Mag Ruffman from ToolGirl.com recently showed how to move heavy stuff with BigSlider™ utility mover. Here’s what you’ll see in the video:

Move a heavy load of firewood; move a heavy potted plant; use it to stuff a bag full of detritus – then just remove it when you’re done; easy to load..and unload the car with heavy camping gear – especially joyful!…and drag your husband around when he’s King for the Day.

It’s an alternative to the wheel…and the wheelbarrow! Compare the handcart to BigSlider™ utility mover. “Simple and elegant…it’s a friction-reducer.” Slides over concrete, grass and wood – whatever you need to slide over. Turns on a dime!

Thanks Mag for the great demo! Here’s another link to the show…

Dolly, hand truck and wheelbarrow won’t work | Easily move concrete blocks!

Monday, November 15th, 2010

“Hi and thanks!
Sunday I am picking up 60 – 85lb concrete blocks. The loading will be fairly easy but the delivery is far more complicated since I have to move them over 50+ feet of grass (including downhill over irregular terrain.) Using a traditional dolly simply is not doable.”

And, another note from our new home owner in Nova Scotia who is also moving piles of wood chips around his rocky, hilly property…

“This is the reason I thought of the Big Slider. We have so many rocks to move over rough terrain that a wheel barrow would have been a pain.

Even when its loaded to the max. weight, the Slider just flows over the other rocks like a wave.

Regards, AB”

Wow – we love that BigSlider™ heavy duty tray is riding the rocks in Nova Scotia! Thanks for sharing your story and photos, AB! Jeri

wood chips!

“We have recently built a new home on an acre of forest land. We had to clear many of the trees and I now need to move the piles of chips which we turned them into.

As well, the soil is very rocky here so there are piles of large and small rocks as well as new top soil and potting soils, etc. which must be moved around.

AB”

Go Mag Ruffman, ToolGirl! Wheelbarrow Alternative, Green Packing

Monday, August 16th, 2010

“There is a regular DIY column in our paper written by Mag Ruffman. She featured it and said it was a great product. It just happens that I was looking for an alternative to the standard wheelbarrow for my new home.

Regards, AB, Nova Scotia”

We just received an order from Nova Scotia, and FEDEX ground is the only way to get the Heavy Duty Tray to Canada at a semi-reasonable price. Our packing is very “green” since the Heavy Duty Tray, rope and handle are so tough that we just cable-tie and tag them. Your only waste is six HDPE cable ties, which are #2 recyclable.
