Move Heavy Store Fixtures without Scratching the Floors

I received a call a few days ago from the manager of a national chain retail store in Michigan. All the wheels had broken off his four way 4 ft high fixtures for hanging clothes.

The employees had previously been dragging the heavy fixtures around the store floor when they needed to move them. That was fine on the old carpet.

Now the store is being renovated and refurbished with new carpet and tile, so the manager wants to protect the new surfaces from scratching, wear and tear. We are custom fabricating a number of 46" x 46" BigSlider™ utility movers for his needs.

Way to go KP, and be sure to share with the carpet layers to save their backs while removing the fixtures. We hope your new flooring and carpets stay looking good for a long time!

Moving Kitchen Cabinets for Remodeling

Between Christmas and New Year's Eve a remodeling professional from Wyoming called with a desperate need for the Wider BigSlider™ utility mover. His partner had seen someone in Arizona moving a heavy appliance, and "it was so easy!" he insisted they get one for their business.

He was about to start on a remodeling project and needed the wider model right away. We shipped him the demo we'd used in the National Hardware Show, where we won Popular Mechanics Editor's Choice Award for Top 13 New Tools and DIY Network's Chris Grundy of Cool Tools shot us for their "On the Move" episode. That ran show ran on DIY from October through last November - thanks Cool Tools!

And, thank you GR from Jackson WY for saving your back on your remodeling project! Plus, we hope it saves you time and money.

Construction Debris Defeated by Bigslider!

Bigslider came to my assistance when I needed to remove all these materials left over from construction projects and swimming pool maintenance. This junk had collected in my garage and my back yard and was becoming an overwhelming problem. There are two heavy doors with glass insets, two broken sinks from a bathroom countertop, and old pump from the swimming pool, and a trash can full of heavy debris.

The trash can had sat outside for so long that the plastic deteriorated and came apart whenever I tried to drag it to the curb. With my handy Bigslider, I was able to manage all this alone, without the back strain that would surely resulted from having to pick this up and carry it out.

The doors were a little tricky, because they were larger than the Bigslider, but, using the pull cord looped around the corners of the base of the door, I was able to pull from the upper end and get each door out separately without lifting.

What a handy and flexible tool to have in my toolkit!

Word of Mouth: Our customers are our best advertisers!

A new customer from Louisiana found out about BigSlider
"from a friend who had ordered one and raved about it." -- AE, LA

Thank you, friend! And, we appreciate everyone who tells a friend about BigSlider - thank YOU so very much for your orders in 2009.

Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for a Prosperous and Peaceful New Year,
From Jeri and all of us here at BigSlider

Carpet Layers are Finding Out About BigSlider

The word of mouth orders are rolling in here at BigSlider™ utility movers. Carpet layers from Wisconsin, Oklahoma, and Kansas have discovered how easy it is to move heavy furniture with our tough, friction-reducing sheet...now their customers are ordering, too!

Moving a Gun Safe

I just received an order from a customer trying to move a gun safe. He looked all over the internet and couldn't find any professional sliding mats except ours. His gun safe is about 20 in x 30 in x 7 ft and weighs about 1,000 lbs. He'll have to get help to lay it on its side just so it will fit though the doorway.

We decided that the cheapest, fastest way to get his project done was to send two 2 ft x 5 ft Professionals and tape the tail holes together with duct tape (to cover the 7 ft length). The handle will easily bear the pull of 1,000 lb loads on tile or wood (about a 200 lb pull), but to move the gun safe on carpet he'll need a second person to push from behind. The drag on carpet will create about a 300-500 lb pull, depending on the padding underneath and the pile of the carpet; and the handle tears out at around a 400 lb pull -- something you can only achieve with two very strong guys or a pickup truck hitch!

Best of luck to JB in Mississippi.

Move Heavy Things by Yourself Tool for Gardners

Here's why one customer bought BigSlider™ utility mover this week!

"I was searching the internet for a dolly to move large potted plants across grass, concrete, etc. by myself and your website was listed. After checking it out, I decided your product was the best way to go and could be used for more purposes than I intended. It will even help me out when I need to move those big bags of potting soil to my backyard by myself. It will be a back saver too and will get used for many of the other purposes you listed. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the BIGSLIDER Utility Mover." -- MP, Texas

Moving a heavy old TV out...

I recently upgraded my old TV to a new 42" flat screen model. My Bigslider was used to get the new unit into the house, but the old TV was so bulky I couldn't get it out of the house by myself. When I had a contractor around to help with it, we were able to move it off its stand to my Bigslider so we could drag it out to his car to carry off to the recycle depot.

If Bigslider just came with an extra set of hands, I could have done this job all by myself!

Moving the Big Screen TV!

"Jeri,

I was just getting on line to send you an email - and saw your message. We used our BigSlider for the first time!!!!!!!

I hate to admit that it took so long....but we had the perfect application for it. We bought a new TV and they are heavier than a son-of-a-_______. I automatically thought of the BigSlider. Had to share it with you! Of course, it worked great."

-- PA, Texas

Laying Garden Pavers

We just got some photos of a client laying garden pavers using our heavy duty tray to move these heavy stones around. These photos really illustrate the ease of using our tray to ease the burden of garden work!

After unloading the stones from the trailer, the tray serves as a platform to hold the stones conveniently for placing them around the edges of the garden.



Look at this next picture and tell me how hard you think it can be to get this work done!! Really!!!





You see how Bigslider can reduce the workload for those big gardening jobs!

First Usage Report on Heavy Duty Tray!

We just received a note from a client who breeds deer for stocking leases. He bought one of our heavy duty trays for some of the heavier lifting jobs required in his business, like moving a piece of spraying equipment around the property to control the ant population on his grounds. He sent the following testimonial and photo:

"Sorry this took so long. After I unhooked the rope from the mower, I dragged the HD tray back toward the barn with the spray rig on it. Then it dawned on me that I didn't really need the mower. It was easy enough to drag by hand. Spraying ants just got a lot easier.

Thanks
Tom"

Yard Chores with a Ruptured Disk?

Many people have health problems of various kinds that limit or constrain their physical activity. These do not always mean that you have to give up your favorite hobbies. Sometimes you can make adaptations that allow you to continue to participate in those things that give you pleasure, like maintaining your garden.

We just sold a BigSlider™ to a man in Pennsylvania who said he has a ruptured disk and wants to use it to help him with his gardening. This is a good solution, because a BigSlider™ certainly reduces the amount of lifting involved in gardening.

To make your chores easier, make sure that a BigSlider™is in your closet of gardening supplies and tools.

Talk it up - help your friends move their heavy stuff!

Here's a "shout out" to North Carolina, where someone found out about BigSlider by hearing about it from someone else (other than me :-)

"I found out about BigSlider from my appliance repair person & then a google search."
-- EC, North Carolina

And, a customer who purchased the Wider model last year just ordered her YardPal to work in tandem. A BigThanks to DV of Tennessee!

If you like your BigSlider™ utility mover, please tell someone else about it...We can't get the word out without YOU, our happy and faithful customers.

Thank you so much! Jeri

The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift in 2009 for the Woman who has Everything

Mother’s Day 2009 is coming sooner than you think: May 10th is less than two months away. Most moms will tell you they have everything they need – after all they have you! – and say they just want a card. But is that really true?

My mom is now in her 80s, so I’ve been focusing on getting her things she actually needs. For Christmas I bought Channellock® straight-jaw, tongue and groove pliers to open bottles and remove lids. For her birthday, I followed up with the clippers mentioned in My Favorite Tools, the Okatsune brand 7” shears. They’re so awesome she’s not sharing them with my dad, so now I have the perfect Father’s Day gift teed up.

Of course, my parents already have their BigSlider™ utility mover. But enough about us; let’s hear what others have to say about it.

• "Wanted to let you know that I gave my mother-in-law her slider and she was thrilled. She is a widow with a large yard, pool and garden. She is 72, very active, still works each day, and keeps up her yard and 1 1/2 acres of land....She does most of her outside work herself. She was so glad to have a way to move heavy stuff without hurting her back. Thanks again.” -- DT, Alabama
  

I also followed up with an avid-gardening customer who received it as a gift from her son. She said,

• “It’s amazing! I saved 90% of the work by not having to lift soil and pavers into the wheelbarrow.” -- Mrs. S, Iowa
  

And, for those of you who feel guilty about not being around to help your mom, here’s what one single mom had to say:

• “I would like to buy the one you let me borrow. It will come in handy around the house esp. since my son moved out and I do not have anyone around to move stuff for me.” -- JLF, Texas
  

The great thing about BigSlider is that it's truly designed to be a one-person tool. Finally, I received this sweet note from a customer just yesterday.

• "My mother, who recently passed away at 100 years old, always used a bit of carpet or a throw rug to move furniture around. I wish she was still here to see your wonderful invention...I used the slider a little while ago and it worked beautifully - just like in the videos. Thank you so much." -- CD, Minnesota
  

So now your question “What do I get Mom for Mother’s Day?” has an easy answer: a BigSlider™ Utility Mover!

Naturally, I have no idea what to get my Mom.

Move Heavy Furniture in the 21st Century - Just like the videos!

"My mother, who recently passed away at 100 years old, always used a bit of carpet or a throw rug to move furniture around. I wish she was still here to see your wonderful invention...I used the slider a little while ago and it worked beautifully - just like in the videos. Thank you so much." -- CD, Minnesota

Bigslider in Gainesville FL

Bigslider just got reviewed in the Gainesville Times in Florida.

What this reviewer liked about the product is what a back saver it is. As he said, "The thing I really like about this product is that instead of picking up a heavy object and putting it in a wheelbarrow or carrying it, you just slide it onto the Bigslider and pull it."

He had his wife pull him around on the Bigslider and she had no problem at all!

Gift for your paramedic

Here's why one customer purchased a BigSlider utility mover this weekend...

"I am eighty years of age. Young in mind but the body is falling apart! I cannot do any outside work and have to be careful not to fall as I can't get up without help and I live alone. The Slider is for the use of the lovely paramedic that does my outside chores and inside chores when needed."

Good news from our customer with spinal stenosis stinosis

Good News from our customer with spinal stenosis (see Jan 7th and Jan 12th blogs)

"Hi Jeri!

Just wanted to let you know that the BigSlider worked for me! It made it a lot easier to move our boxes from the entrance of the crawl space to the back where we store the Christmas decorations. I had my husband read the information sheet on the various ways people have used it so, when the need may arise when he is working outside, he will think about using it also.

Thank You!" -- JH, Delaware

BigSlider and the Hoyer Lift for Wheelchair-bound Husband and his Wife Caregiver

One customer purchased BigSlider to help maneuver her husband so she could use the Hoyer lift to get him back into the wheelchair.

She came home from the store yesterday and had to use BigSlider for the first time. Her husband had fallen out of his wheelchair into a place where she couldn't reach him with the Hoyer lift. He rolled on his side, she slid BigSlider up to him, then he rolled back.

She was surprised at how easy it was -- and how much easier it was on him, too. It slid right over the Hoyer lift legs, and she easily got him into position. Now she wants to keep it in the car so that when they go to physical therapy, transferring him from the car to the chair will be easier and safer.

Which side goes up?

Q: "Received it and I'm ready to use the bigslider, however I'm wondering which side (the shiny or the dull side) is supposed to be facing up to put your boxes on? On the picture it looks like the label is supposed to be facing you -- that would be the shiny side up. However, that means you can see the screws in the handle, which I thought perhaps would mean it should be flipped. Which side is up -- shiny or dull??? Thank You!" -- JH, Delaware

A: Both sides of the white HDPE Professional model are equally slick, so don't worry about which side to use. Even after being scratched on driveway concrete for over 2 years, the original prototype still works great. (Mine looks like the one in the photo above.)

For YardPal the gray recycled HDPE is slightly less slick on the label side, so the label side goes "up" while pulling.

Above is a photo of another customer who's been pulling his loads through rocks and mud. You can see it's all scratched up. He keeps BigSlider in the pickup because it still works great! FYI - His is the third story about moving limbs and logs after hurricane Rita in the August 2008 archive.

Looking Forward to Spring and Summer Gardening? You're worth it!

Last week a customer called after seeing BigSlider in her local newspaper in Akron, Ohio. She didn't have internet access and wanted to know if she could order over the phone. Yes, of course we happily take phone orders!

In the past, she's used a vinyl sheet to haul heavy stuff around the garden, and the vinyl would get shredded. She wanted to know if BigSlider was tough and would last. Well, the first one we made in mid-2006 is still in use on concrete, grass, pea gravel, bricks, tile and carpet -- with no signs of stopping. So she said, "I'm worth it. I'm going to get one." "Of course you're worth it!" I said.

"I'm looking forward to spring and summer gardening being more pleasant now." Aren't we all? Enjoy!

Spinal Stinosis Stenosis, Storing Christmas Decorations

I had a chance to speak with the lady from Delaware who asked the crawl space questions (see blog Jan 7th), and it turns out she has spinal stenosis (narrowing of the space inside the backbone that pinches the spinal cord - OUCH!). She's going to use BigSlider to put her Christmas decorations away in the basement crawl space, and needed hers right away. We shipped Priority Mail the next day.

This customer inspired me to get my tree out to the curb (another great use for BigSlider), and of course I spent the rest of the day picking up needles -- it has been so worth it just to have the lovely smell inside the house all Season long!

Home Office and Gardening Combined!

Reviews Written by M. Gollwitzer, Thank you, BigSlider™!, August 31, 2008

I work at a home office and must shred reams of confidential documents each month. The BigSlider™ makes this so easy! I just place a rolled-up BigSlider™ inside a trash bag, which transforms the bag into a free-standing receptable for all the shreddings. I can empty the shredder into the bag without the struggle of having to use one hand to keep the bag open. When the bag is full, the BigSlider™ easily and cleanly slides out of the bag and I can then just haul the bag (placing it on the BigSlider™ if it's too heavy to carry!) to the garbage can.

I use the BigSlider™ in the same manner to collect leaves in the yard. In addition, we have found the BigSlider™ to be useful in hauling heavy objects around the house or from house to car. BigSlider™ has made many tasks so much easier!

Moving firewood without back strain

The first time I really screwed up my back I was carrying a sheet of plywood up a three-run staircase. I’d heard that putting a piece of plywood between my box spring and mattress would ease the aches I felt every morning from sleeping on a too-soft mattress. Since then I’ve spent many days in bed, waiting for one back spasm or another to cool down so I could walk pain free again. I know to lift with my knees, and I have a two-wheeled hand truck that I use when I move heavy stuff, but anytime a new product comes along that will keep me pain free, I try to check it out.

My hand truck doesn’t do very well on the lumpy lawn but my new Big Slider works great. It’s a heavy duty, five-foot long by two-foot wide strip of super slippery HPDE plastic with a handle on one end. I used it on Sunday to tow firewood from the edge of the woods to the front porch. Dragging the wood on the Big Slider was an almost friction-free experience, and I was able to traverse the yard, then across the macadam driveway, then up a slope right to the steps with ease. I was amazed how easy it was to move the wood. Dirt brushed right off when I was finished. I can see using the tool to move the sleeper couch, the freezer in the basement, and just maybe I’ll use it as a sled and take the baby for a ride down the hill when the snow comes.

Haul dirt and remodeling supplies...

Another note that we just received from a happy user of Bigslider!

I originally saw it on television during one of the home shows. It took me a while but I found the site by searching on the name, fortunately I remembered that!!! This is great. I am a woman who is consistently trying to move things about by myself. I am convinced this will allow me to tackle my 'moving' projects easier. I live on 4 heavily wooded acres and am always trying to haul dirt and remodeling supplies.

Regards,
Celina

This illustrates how useful a big piece of plastic can be for your household and landscaping activities, especially if you add a few useful features to it!

Hurricane Ike Cleanup,: Moving Big Stump

"After hurricane Ike I needed to cut up and haul away a huge tree that fell down in a buddy of mine's yard. I grew up on a ranch, and I don't like to mess around when it comes to getting big jobs finished. I always pick the easiest, most efficient way to get things done in the shortest amount of time possible. We started moving the smaller limbs by dragging them, and we moved some of the medium sized logs with a wheelbarrow. As we got to the base, the logs were getting dangerous for me and my buddy to try and lift and would probably have broken the wheelbarrow even if we could have. Also, the area we were working in was a little muddy and the wheelbarrow was getting bogged down.

"I rolled two of the larger logs to the pile by just pushing them along the ground. The logs had barbs sticking out and weren't cylindrical, so they were hard to push and wouldn't roll straight. After rolling two logs I started searching for an easier way. That's when I grabbed Big Slider, not just because we had it in the truck, but because it was the most efficient tool to get the job done and my back was just about wore out from rolling logs like an idiot. We tore one hole in it about the size of a quarter by pulling one of the bigger logs over a brick, but the Big Slider kept working just fine despite our abuse.

"I'm sending pictures of the final effort. Here's my brother and my buddy moving the stump which I think weighed around 1000 lbs, this was the last and biggest log. Bigslider worked fine until we hooked the stump up to the pickup truck (we were feeling lazy). The handle finally gave out. Next time I pull something that heavy I think I can do it a little smarter and pull it from the tail. [Thread the rope through the extension handle, then thread the rope through the tail holes. JM]

"At first I was not sure what to do with the Big Slider, but now I'm really impressed with it because it worked where nothing else would. There were only two ways we could have moved those logs, a tractor which would have tore up the yard, or the Big Slider. I'm glad I chose Big Slider. It's a great tool. Thanks for your amazing product." -- MB, TX

For more examples of using BigSlider™ for hurricane damage cleanup, visit our website. Also note that, while this article describes cleanup from Hurricane Ike, Hurricane Gustav recently hit Louisiana and Mississippi leaving extensive damage and debris that is still being removed. Even Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans years ago has left widespread storm damage littering the streets of the city.

Move an old, heavy TV for Goodwill donation

Powerwashing the rough stone deck

“I had a good day with BIGSLIDER™ yesterday. I had to pressure wash my back deck. . . I have a ruptured disk and several other less significant back problems. I am not letting them slow me down. I moved about 20 flowerpots weighing from a few pounds to over 100 lbs. I slipped BIGSLIDER™ up to them and either slid them onto it or, in the case of the big boy, tilted it and slid BIGSLIDER™ underneath. All very helpful. I was dragging these things over a rough stone deck.”

RISD Rhode Island School of Design

First year Rhode Island School of Design Architecture students test their knowledge of concrete in Professor Jim Barnes Materials & Methods course. Students designed and cast a variety of objects with one cubic foot of concrete. BIGSLIDER™, pictured above, allowed students to easily maneuver their 150 pound objects easily around the job site.

Moving logs from the mud up a rough slope

"We had trees downed in hurricane Rita that we'd cut up in fire wood length, and they were laying in a boggy area. I'd started carrying the 5- to 100-pound logs uphill to the trailer by hand for about 30 minutes, and my wife reminded me to use BIGSLIDER™.

My productivity went up at least by a factor of four or more.

I would dig the logs out of the mud roll them on BIGSLIDER™, and my wife would pull them up to the trailer for me to load later.

BIGSLIDER™ worked great in the mud and rough slope where we couldn't use a wheelbarrow or place the trailer any closer. We effectively loaded an 8 x 16 foot trailer with approximately 3 tons of fire wood.

I had always heard "He who cuts wood is warmed twice over." Now I can say he who cuts wood, hauls & loads,and burns it is warmed three times over. I use BIGSLIDER™ for various jobs and it is always handy in my toolbox.

A big thanks to BIGSLIDER™.”

Tale of the Grecian Urn

"The lawn service moved a very large Grecian urn in my garden, but they left it in an awkward place, where no one could appreciate looking at it from inside. I wouldn't be home when they came back, so I wheeled the pot on to bigslider by myself. Rather than pull by the handle, I left bigslider stationary and slid the pot across it and back into the perfect spot. I did that so the loose river rock where the pot sat didn't get messed up. A few weeks later, I hurt my back lifting a heavy box - can’t believe I forgot to use bigslider!"

---CW, Texas

Are DVDs heavy or what?

“Just wanted to drop you a note at Bigslider, to let you know how I made easy work of several heavy, heavy boxes filled with DVDs! Each box was full, and weighed approximately 90lbs each.

Initially, I began carrying each box the old fashioned way: bending over, lifting, and walking it to it's final spot. I then realized that I had a perfect tool for the job: My New Bigslider. I simply slid the bigslider under the two stacks of boxes- that was 4 full 90lb boxes- and slid the whole stack to the back room. Simple, smart and efficient, and easy on my back!”

Major Renovations

I’m a huge gadget freak, doing a search on the net for tools and came across an article in Popular Mechanics that mentioned it. Currently I’m doing major renovations at my home a little at a time and this has been perfect for moving furniture and appliances over and back as I work in certain areas...thanks for a great product. -- A, IL

At the Vet and Animal Hospital

My company bought me the big slider about a year ago. I work in a busy animal hospital, and the big slider is perfect for moving trash out of our clinic. I also use it to move and distribute heavy supplies to different parts of the building. This device can also double as a ground level stretcher for non ambulatory patients. This handy tool simply reduces the amount of friction between your work load and the ground and allows you to slide it to any location easily, and without having to employ a dolly. I can highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to move things quickly and safely. -- ZP, TX

Single Woman Moving Heavy Pots and Furniture -- by Herself

I thought you'd be interested to hear one customer's move from desperation (when she ordered) to solution (after she used BIGSLIDER™ utility mover) -- Jeri

The Order:
"Googled 'plant caddy', saw the lady moving the plant on MySpace or You Tube, can't remember which. I live alone and have run out of friends/relatives to help me move a huge plant to shelter during the winter. I SURE hope this works."
[Note: We're on YouTube's bigslider21 channel. J]

The Feedback:
"Thank you for your quick response to my order of the Bigslider. It arrived just in time for me to move from a 5 BR/4bath house to my new lovely patio home.

I used it once to move some boxes...and it did well except I am not sure I am using the correct side. Is the shiny side supposed to be up or down? Placing the label on the shiny side made me think it should be up...but then shiny usually means slippery so I wasn't sure. [Note: Use either side -- both sides are very slick. J]

BTW, I sold some furniture on Ebay before my move....had assistance from a company in town...I asked [the owner] if she had heard of the Bigslider and she said she had one...and loves it. Nice affirmation."

Move Heavy Potted Plants - by yourself

Concerned about the cold weather, this woman needed to move large potted frangipani plants under cover to prevent plants from freezing or frost bite. She estimated each pot weighed well over 100 lbs...and she moved them without getting help.

Move Heavy Water Heaters Up Stairs and Down!

"I have a hot water heater on the second floor of my house. It failed and needed to be replaced. It weighed 150 pounds! I dreaded getting it down the stairs and getting the new one up the stairs. The weight was more than my wife and I could handle.

"I'd planned on using a dolly to move the water heaters, but I worried about messing up the carpet. Plus, the dolly weighs over twenty pounds by itself - which is even more weight you have to lift up the stairs - and the solid wheels tear up your carpet and floors. So, I had planned to put something down to protect it. But, then I saw BIGSLIDER™.

"I brought it home. It worked great. I didn't have to put anything down to protect the carpet. I slid the new heater up, easily. I slid the old heater down. I used BIGSLIDER™ to slide the heaters over grass, pavement, threshold, tile, and carpet. It worked great!"
