My new favorite audio equipment and speaker set-up tool: I found the Winbag wedge tool while picking up paint at Home Depot a month ago. I thought it was interesting, so I picked up a small 300# capacity one and the larger 500# capacity one. I had no real use for them at the time. They were not designed for audio or lifting per say, but work.
BTW: I have no affiliation with either WInbag or HD. These are available on Amazon, as well some made by other manufactures.
I needed to reposition a sub stack which weighed about 300#, change footers on a pair of speakers and install a piece of equipment into my audio rack. Moving the subs and speakers is often a 2-man job, but I was able to work alone safely and efficiently with these since it freed up both hands. I could easily inflate the bag with one hand no matter how heavy the equipment. I was able to lift the subs high enough to install sliders so they could now be moved on the carpet.
I was able to position the Isoacoustics footers perfectly in a narrow rack now that I did not have to work on lifting the equipment and positioning the footers at the same time. I did not have to worry about scratching, chipping, or denting the surface of the equipment, due to the Winbags smooth plastic material. (See pictures below)
I hope you too may find these of use. Happy listening.
