The problem

Water heaters weren't built to be carried.

A 50-gallon tank is slick, round and has nothing to hold on to. So for years the job has meant hugging it to your chest or squatting in an awkward crouch to get under it. That's how backs get thrown out.

“For many years we've had to bear hug them or squat in an awkward position to grab them, and you end up throwing your back out or hurting yourself.”

Mike Messersmith, inventor, in The Successful Contractor

With a real handle, a tank goes up on your shoulder like a bag of tools.

How it works

It's simple. Slap 'em and strap 'em.

Built-in magnets hold each handle on the tank, a ratchet strap locks it down, and you lift with your legs. Four steps, no tools.
