Dune: Technology: Suspenders
Suspenders is also another common technology employed by humans that utilizes a Holtzman field.
Suspenders use a Holtzman Field to work against gravity and lift an object in the air. All this is accomplished without any connection to another anchored surface. To put it simply, suspenders lift and move heavy objects. Everything from general cargo to Guild Navigator Tanks, glowglobes to viewing platforms.
Even humans can be lifted by suspenders. The obese Baron Vladimir Harkonnen uses suspenders to most his weak fat body from place to place.
