PROBLEM:

You want to enjoy working outside…

but it’s not easy.

Slow

Dragging heavy tarps by their corners is slow and inefficient. You don’t like doing it and neither do we.

Risky

You don’t want to tweak your back or roll an ankle hunched over, walking backward. Why make something harder than it has to be?

Difficult

We’ve all had those long days at work where your body feels broken by 5pm. Yard work doesn’t have to be hard work. If only there were a faster, safer, and easier solution.

SOLUTION: THE A.N.T.

Here’s what our customers say:

“We’ll never go back to working without one.”

- Aaron Farrer, Inventor

I grew up working for my dad’s lawn service. For the past 30 years, he’s run a small operation focusing on quality and a meaningful relationship with each of his customers.

One day, we were working at a Cemetery in late November. The leaves were wet and our blowers weren’t cutting it so we had to get the tarp out. After dragging so many massive piles, I thought, “There’s got to be a better way.”

I created The A.N.T. because I wanted my job to be easier. It worked so well for my dad and I that we’ll never go back to working without one.

After my time in the Army and college, we decided it was time to see if other people who worked outside liked The A.N.T. as much as we did.

We now have almost 1,000 happy customers and want to say thank you to everyone who’s chosen to take the hard work out of yard work and drag tarps the faster, safer, and easier way.

The A.N.T. is a versatile tool with many applications:

Lawn Care

Leaf cleanup during the Fall is The A.N.T.’s bread and butter! Dragging a tarp backwards that’s full of leaves is the way of the past. Start moving leaves, sticks, and debris much faster and in massive volumes by using The A.N.T. alongside a big tarp.

Tree Trimming

Cleaning up branches is a slow, tedious process and often takes two people on one tarp. Instead, try clipping The A.N.T. into a tarp to drag sticks and branches to the mulcher!

Roofing

When replacing a roof, standard practice is to surround the perimeter with tarps to throw all the old shingles onto. Save your back some pain and use The A.N.T. to haul them away!

Hunting

Love the sport but hate dragging game out of the woods? Use The A.N.T. as a hunting tool on deer directly, with a sled, or pack a small tarp for a compact yet powerful solution. Give it a try and let us know if its not the best new addition to your hunting pack!

Anytime you're pulling a tarp!

The A.N.T. is the go-to answer for anything that requires dragging a heavy tarp. It’s perfect for use at home and on the job! Got an idea for an innovative way to use The A.N.T.? Get in touch with us about trying it out for a specific application!
