One strap has formed in its central section, which is longer than that of the other strap, a plurality of spaced openings in one of which the other strap is releasably and slidably connected intermediate its ends. In use the interconnected center sections of the straps are positioned beneath a load that can then be lifted by the operators wearing the respective shoulder harnesses.
