Tilt, Load, Slide!

One great feature of BIGSLIDER is that you only need tilt your load 1/16th of an inch to get it started. And, BIGSLIDER is slick on both sides for easy loading and unloading. Simply slide, wheel, roll, walk, or scoot the load on to BIGSLIDER. The more you get on, the easier it is! And, when you reach your destination, BIGSLIDER easily pulls out.
 

Does it really work on concrete?

Yes! BIGSLIDER is used on concrete by homeowners on driveways, by auto mechanics in garages, and by hardware stores - to move 500 lb chain barrels. It also works on grass, mud, snow, bricks, pea gravel, stones, stairs, carpet, tile and wood. (NOTE: Clean BIGSLIDER and sweep wood floors to prevent scratching. Or, pull BIGSLIDER over the Welcome mat/ carpet to wipe its own feet coming from outside to inside.)

What's the rope for?

The rope keeps the load on BIGSLIDER while pulling over flat, inclined, or bumpy surfaces. The rope also extends BIGSLIDER length for ergonomic pulling (see here). Tie a knot or Handle Extension at hand height to pull from a standing position.
Thread the rope through the tail, and BIGSLIDER curves around irregular loads to secure them while sliding. Or, throw the rope around the lower perimeter of boxes, bookcase, or chest. Then thread through the hand hole to keep the load and BIGSLIDER pulling the same direction at the same time. BIGSLIDER turning radius is the same as the loads footprint.

Tail Curl

Thread rope through corner holes, then bring ends through hand hole.  Wrap rope around handle, then tie a half knot or Extension Handle at palm height.

Choke Hold

Thread rope through one corner hole from underneath BIGSLIDER™, throw rope over load, thread back down through other corner hole. Bring both rope ends through hand hole, wrap around handle, tie knot or Extension Handle at palm height. The more you pull, the tighter the rope holds the load.
 

Lift vs. Slide Leverage

BIGSLIDER™ is a highly leveraged tool that helps you to get work done by yourself. What’s hard to carry is easy to slide. For example, if the carpet in your office is like that in an airport or mall – i,e., no pile and little padding – you will experience about the same leverage as pulling on a concrete driveway (250 lb load converts to about a 75 lb pull = 3x advantage). “Stickiest” to “Slickest” surfaces are: grass (2x), carpet, concrete (3x), pea gravel, wood, and tile (5x). In other words, a 50 lb mulch bag is about a 22 lb pull on grass, and a 150 lb armoire is about a 30 lb pull on tile.

Lawn and Leaf Bags

Form BIGSLIDER™ Utility Mover into a cylinder; hold in place through the bag then pull bag over cylinder. Lay on side; rake directly in. Or, place upright to use like a big trash can. BIGSLIDER™ reinforces to prevent sticks from tearing the bag, and you can pack the bag extra tight, filling it extra full. Don’t let your hard work dribble down the driveway! Use BIGSLIDER™ to take your bags to trash or curb so bag doesn’t break or rip. Click here to see how easily you can move six 39 gal bags in one trip.
 

Ergonomic Benefits

Tilting and sliding uses more major muscle groups in the legs, arms and torso when compared to dead lift and carry. After loading at the tail, walk toward the load and pull the handle from palm height. If the handle doesn’t comfortably reach the hand while you’re standing up straight, use the rope as needed to extend the pull height up to the palm of your hand. Tie a knot or the Extension Handle if desired.

The full 5 ft length of BIGSLIDER™ is available for loads when using the rope. For super heavy loads, knot the rope, step into the loop, place the rope around your hips, and pull ONLY using the legs. Thread the Extension Handle through the rope if you prefer to pull from the handle rather than the rope.

Skidding Along

Sometimes you need to move furniture a short distance to rearrange the room or clean behind it; or perhaps the load is too heavy for you to pull...or maybe you don’t want to rearrange the surface you’re pulling over (such as on decorative rocks). Put BIGSLIDER™ on the ground to use in skid mode by pushing, wheeling or walking your item across the full 5 ft length.

Leaf Scoop or Rake Directly In
Quickly handle a large volume of leaves. And, run the scoop along the curb to push leaves straight into the leaf bag - easy!

Weeding Sit-Upon

Need a clean, dry place to sit while weeding? Sit at handle end, put weeds at tail end. Move BIGSLIDER™ along the bed as you progress. When weed pile gets high, form a “U” to dump into the trash. Touch weeds only once!
 

EASY TO STORE
Store flat. Hang from nail by center hole at tail; stow behind desk, shelf or cabinet, under bed or couch.
Avoid storing in direct sunlight.

EASY TO CLEAN
Sweep or brush off. Rinse with water and mild soap as needed (remember excess dirt may scratch indoor floors if your load is heavy).

EASY TO CARRY
Place handle in palm between thumb and forefinger, form a teardrop shape by putting middle and ring fingers through center hole on tail.
