1. A tandem object lifting apparatus, comprising in combination:
- a first harness wearable by a first user, said first harness including a portion which is extendible at least partially across a back side of the first user;
a second harness wearable by a second user, said second harness including a portion which is extendible at least partially across a back side of the second user;
a first line coupled at a first point to said first harness and coupled at a second point to said first harness;
a second line coupled at a first point to said second harness and coupled at a second point to said second harness;
a link between said first line and said second line, said link coupling said first line to said second line, said link located between said first point and said second point on said first line and between said first point and said second point on said second line; and
said link including said first line and said second line mutually looped around each other.

Abstract
A harness lifting system 10 is provided for team lifting of objects 10. Two harnesses 12, 14 are provided which are worn separately by two users 32. The system 10 includes two support lines or straps 16, 18. Each line 16, 18 has coupling points spaced from each other which removably attach to one of the harnesses 12, 14. The lines 16, 18 preferably link together at cross-over point 26 and then extend back to the same harness 12, 14 that the line 16, 18 first extends from the system 10 includes adjustability providing structures and accessories for optimal use to enhance the basic system 10.
