Said multipurpose shoulder strap having a connector at each end so as to be able to be connected, at each end, at the end of a carrying belt or of a cable having complementary-shaped connectors. It so is possible, according to different carrying necessities, to change type of carrying belt or cable at each end of said multipurpose shoulder strap, so as to obtain several different embodiments of a shoulder carrier having the same multipurpose shoulder strap and different carrying belts or cables ( C1,C2, C3,C4,C5,C11,A1,C12,C13, C14).. Said carrying belts or cables catch the load by hooking it or by wrapping it in loops, and can be used for hang to a nail or to a bar said load simply by disconnecting it from said multipurpose shoulder strap and connecting it to a nail or bar connector complementary shaped., left on its support.
