Basics of Moving Your Dolly
- To get your appliance, a piece of furniture or stack of boxes onto your hand truck, tip it forward just enough to slip the hand truck's bottom plate underneath.
- With a stack of boxes, be sure to apply enough downward force on the top box to keep those middleboxes from popping out.
Similarly, how do you move a washing machine with a dolly?
Have your two helpers tilt the washer backward so that you can slide the moving dolly underneath the appliance. Use the straps of the dolly to secure the unit as it's still on the ground, then tilt the moving equipment back until the washer gets balanced on the wheels. Do this slowly and carefully.
- Clean out and defrost the unit.
- Disconnect fridge according to the user manual.
- Measure fridge and doorways then create a moving plan.
- Remove obstacles like doors as necessary.
- Slide fridge out and strap onto the dolly.
- Tilt fridge back and move with care (slowly).
Beside above, what is a dolly in transport?
A dolly is an unpowered trailer which can be attached to trucks, tractors and road trains. The dollies themselves don't carry a load but are used to support a semi-trailer or similar haulage unit.
