Abstract: An improved assembly is described. The assembly includes a shaft affixed on a first side to a first handle and affixed to a tool on a second side. A first end of a continuous cord is affixed to the tool at a first location and a second end of the continuous cord is affixed to the tool at a second location. A second handle is affixed to a loop formed by the continuous cord. During use, a user grasps both handles, places the tool at a base of a payload, and pushes the assembly to load the payload onto the tool. By bending the users knees and not putting undue strain on the users back, the user may utilize the handles to lift and move the payload to a desired location.
