I recommend if you don’t have one of those slides, I use two towels under the whole dresser to slide it as much as you can 👍

THANK YOU!!! SOOOOOOO HELPFUL! I didn’t need anybody to help me rearrange my furniture. Husband was impressed!!

[@1234tellmewhatyourlookingfor]

They work great, be careful on hardwood. They need a little maintenance, I have both lengths and noticed they surface gets a little rough. You may use fine sand paper to smooth them and a clear car wax or something that will not stain even a light sanding will help. Lol I have lost 2 sets of 4 foot ones. I noticed one customer had a set just like mine at end of the job, so now I'm putting a mark on up sides. Glad to see you using them bro, cause it saves your back.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Yes sir they do

What do you do once it’s time to get furniture from house to truck?

[@andrewb8173]

Put onto trolley and tie with strap

[@kristineoberg5862]

What if the item is too heavy to even lift at the corners to get the sliders underneath?

[@stephanievacante2241]

I usually get the draws out or make them lighter

[@delaneysatard4762]

I use those too. I also cut small pieces of carpet. When i get to the doorway, or wherever there is hard surface i switch to upside down carpet pieces. The upside down carpet pieces work the same as skids on hard surface and will not scratch the floors like skids can. Don't scratch floors, it won't pay well.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Tyler Wolf You’re exactly right, this was in my personal house where the laminate floors are not a concern

[@sharonscott4019]

[@WILSON0o6]

You made it so effortless with those straps. Some use those metal bars wit handles on them. Only concern is scratching the hardwood surface if the plastic gets mess up on the bottom

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

Christian Wilson Yep you’re exactly right, they are typically made for Carpet

Can you please tell me what exactly are they? Are they available online or are they any DIY ?

I have the same ones but mine have metal pull bars that hook into the eye holes. I think I like the straps better might have to buy another pair. Either way these are a must have for any installers. Thanks Reuben

Do u know of anything similar to use on hard tile floors for heavy objects? I have a cleaning business and service medical offices. I need to move medical exam tables to strip and wax floors and I work alone.

[@FloorsbySouthernboys]

You could put these felt pads on the bottom of the sliders that I use in this video and I believe that would work awesome, it would still give you something to grab and pour the tables with

[@juanbadillo1373]

I have some but i would not recommend moving stuff over hardwood floors like you did gng out the room you will scratch somebodys floors with the slidders you have to attach the pad covers that are made for slidders to use on hardwood floors

[@Veruska5]

Very nice long furniture gliders, I haven’t seen those b-4, but it’s easy when you don’t have stairs involved, what about when you do? 😅 I just moved, reason why I asked. I felt sorry for the movers as their company didn’t give them any tools to work with and protect their backs from getting injured. They are very good at what they do, they protect the furnitures better than themselves, but they use body force for every heavy boxes and furnitures. I just wanted to know if there’s any other way to protect your back in cases like this, when there’s too many stairs involved? Other than hand trucks, what else is there? PS.: they didn’t have the hand truck as well. 😥
