About Supportive

Supportive is an Austrian sole proprietorship founded in 2020 by Gernot Gaitzenauer, based in Bad Sauerbrunn (Burgenland). Building on the owner's many years of professional experience delivering heavy canisters (5–65 kg), the ONE-MAN LIFTING STRAP was developed: a one-man carrying strap for the ergonomic lifting and carrying of heavy loads by a single person. The strap webbing consists of 6 cm wide polyester with a padded shoulder and back section, adjustable carry straps with metal buckles, a hook-and-loop (Velcro) grip section and a lifting hook made of 6 mm PE material; the load capacity is 100 kg. The strap distributes the weight evenly across the shoulders and back, thereby relieving the spine. The product is sold via the company's own B2B shop, amazon.de and the wholesale trade, with a customer catchment area covering all of Europe and distribution in Austria, Germany and Norway. Areas of application are logistics and delivery, construction and trades, beverage retail, funeral services, agriculture as well as gardening and landscaping.
