Thanks to your video - I bought one a year ago and it has saved my back a thousand times over. I’m a heart attack patient who is not supposed to lift more than 30lbs. This has saved my life and allowed me to keep working
Man, that is great to hear
Remember to always check your clearance above the fridge. I was on a job where the fridge was all the way against the top cabinets and when he turned the air sleds on it cracked the cabinet frame . Had to replace it.
I would use that valve covering the hole starting with the hole 100% open then work it closed to the point it lifts up. So to be easier on the equipment and would have saved the cabinet in that case.

Yes sir That is a good point
That piece of equipment is genius. A person could save theirselves a lot of back aches *And* headaches!
Yes
Major thanks to all the knowledge and wisdom you share with everyone. Crazy that someone can learn more from you in an hour than they can from most installers in years.
😂😂thank you i’m glad you appreciate the videos
Amazing equipment there! Great demonstration!
Thanks for the video! This will save me a lot of time when i’m installing kitchens and have to move the appliances.
awesome good luck buddy
I was always curious about this. Thanks for the demonstration!
Awesome you’re welcome
Awesome tool! Thanks for sharing
Awesome video reuben!! Yet another awesome tool you guys get that we don't over in the UK 🤣
Moving your kitchen goods with a pinky is insane!!!
😂😂thanks buddy
This is amazing. The only thing I would change is, make it a back pack. You could run the hose between your legs and everything is out of the way.👍🏻
I’ve always wanted to see that tool in action! I think I must purchase that thing!
Definitely does it’s job
At 5:05 as soon as you switch the lifter you didn't need to say anything else!! What a great tool just another reason why I should move to America lol
😂😂👍I hear you
awesome! I appreciate your review. Thanks!!
😀👍
I use one of those air sleds and they're amazing! It will lift fully loaded fridge and move it with ease.
Yes sir 👍
Excellent!
Thx men.....
I just did a house where I had to move a fridge a stove a washer and a dryer and it tweaked my back for weeks...... I'm definitely going to invest in one of these babies. The price seems very trivial when it comes to saving my back.
You are exactly right, I don’t know it takes one time of hurting yourself and the price is justified for one time of damaging at floor that you just installed and again the price is justified
I gotta buy one of those I do way too many jobs where I have to move things by myself.
Well it definitely saves time also, are used to use pieces of underlayment or planks to move Refrigerators in and out Which was quite time consuming
Can you make your own sled with high quality balloons seems and vacum
Nice
😀👍
Are you saying you pinky promise it will work?All kidding aside im about to purchase one of these thanks for the video
Do me a favor, and use the link that I provide in the description
Can it go over transitions, like end moldings or reducer without getting stuck or high centered?
I have never had a problem going over any type of transition rather I will be coming from vinyl to carpet or even over traditional transition strips
Good video. Flooring installer here. Now that you have had it now for several months. Would you still recommend it? Or anything different that you would do. Thanks brother.
Yes definitely recommend it, I use it quite often, I have used it on the past two jobs that I have done moving refrigerators
Does this work on carpet?
👍👍
Thank you Bobby
Can you move other things?......like a treadmill, dresser, sofa if tipped flat etc.
Yes, I recently moved a loaded desk
Saw the same machine by another brand a few years ago. My stacked washer and dryer are in tight quarters and shortly after backing it out of the "closet", I would need to rotate the washer and dryer to get behind it. The closet floor in linoleum and it's carpet outside of the closet. The tracks only allow you to pull the appliances forward and back. How am I able to pull it out and rotate them?
This machine will allow you to move your appliances. However, if you want to it is not on a track where it simply goes forward and backwards you can spend them in circles if you want.
@@FloorsbySouthernboys Thanks for the reply. I realize it's not on a track, however, I've seen or read somewhere that in order to use this over carpeting, you have to use the vinyl or plastic strips that come with it. Since I would need to turn this a quarter turn and the strips are straight. Why do you need the strips to operate this over carpeting?
What’s it like going over carpet
Yes the plastics skids that comes with it works great
what is the thickness, I have very little room to get under a stove.
When it is deflated, it might be a quarter inch thick and then it and flights and rises to 3 inches
I dont head out to a lvp job with out it. Need it or not. It goes with me just incase. Got it for $250.
That’s a good price
@@FloorsbySouthernboys that's a super good price. Got it used. The person used it on 4 jobs
lot of times I have to zigzag the fridge into the other room. How does straight out then having slide left then back to straight? forward and backward the only way they go? No side to side motion?
You can spend them in circles if you want to, they will go any direction you want
Can this be used to lift a wood stove?
Yes, up to 800lbs
@@FloorsbySouthernboys Thank you for your reply. Wow. That’s amazing. I have a 400 pound wood stove I’d like to move.
👍🏻
😀👍
They are on back order
Snap
These are nice but they do not last. It’s not long before they develop leaks and won’t lift. Usually starts coming apart where it is glued to metal. For as expensive as they are they should last longer.
Wow, sorry for your bad experience with them, they have been good for me
What happens when there is no space on top of the refrigerator
Roll it out on the plastics slides 1st then put your sleds under
Again, most refrigerators are installed with cabinets around or in tight kitchens. It is a great concept, but will not work on most jobs.
You have to worry about the equipment not being in the way
?
My Fridge came with wheels.
You're lucky that stove doesn't have an anti-tip bracket.
Just watch out for anything sharp. Those sleds slide over anything sharp and it’s game over.
😳
I saw those things roughly 19 years ago when I was getting started. The installer I was working with hit something sharpe and flattened one of the sleds instantly. When he called about having the repair done he found out the repair cost more than the tool itself.
@@bauercarpet5771 oh snap That long ago it was probably the brand air sled, used to have one of those myself and they was orange , I do know the crane will sell individual parts for the store so you don’t have to buy the whole thing again
Airsled is easier to use
This is the same thing it only is made by crain
Please can you tell me what laminate cutter to buy? I do thousands of feet every year. My main concern is thicker lams.

I got dewalt 12" slider on the 724 compact stand. Saw is 53 lbs. Need a cutter. Don't care about cost need the best. No hardwood. Just heavy lams. They all cut lvt.
