Moving furniture into apartments - GIFs and photo

Moving furniture into apartments.

I like this Dutch one, with the furniture elevator and the moving truck lined up side-by-side:

This one wins both the height award and the Internet Safety award; it's labeled as South Korean:

Of course we must mention the sofa-sliding-down-ropes classic, obviously American. Rumor has it that this was how George Washington moved his sofa across the Delaware River.

But I think this still image is my favorite. I believe this is Portugal:

zip line sofa, guess they will be making a new extreme sport out of that one.
That last pic looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Quick grab a video camera we can make the next episode of the world's funniest stupid people on video.

These furniture sliders are nothing new, but I like that little jack. I might skip those plastic wheels, but it seems like a really useful indoor house tool.

Interesting toe jack and similar to the drain grate lifter...might like bigger and wider wheels depending on the carpet.

Nice little toe jack. 3:42 video:

Quite an innovative builder on his YT channel. This one needs a bit of work on the toe part but the leverage from the size of it is impressive.

Thanks Jon!

Not so much a toe jack as a disabled pry bar in a wheelchair

Looks like a great tool to launch a piano into orbit!
\Then again it might win first place in the great pumpkin contests.

When it goes wrong.

Why isn't the jerk in the black shirt ON the roof pulling the sofa up?

I think the guy on top was planning to dangle it from that rope in his hands?

What am I missing are there no stairs tot eh 2nd floor of those buildings or are they just too lazy to carry things down them.

Dumb South Africans at their best. Very likely poor access or even more likely , security gates etc to deal with, as that looks like slum type tenacy so common in poorer commercial areas in RSA. Sounds like the western Cape by the accent! Hella funny though!

It never ceases to amaze me how people will stand there, record a video of someone potentially getting hurt badly and never think to try and help out... That is the world we live in.

There was a second chair waiting to be dropped down from the roof as well. Wonder what they did with that one after the first didn’t go so well?
