Moving white goods, such as a refrigerator or washing machine, can be quite a challenge for many of our customers. These devices are bulky, heavy and not easy to lift. Especially when stairs have to be taken without causing damage. We understand that this can be a worrying aspect when planning a move, so we want to reassure you that we are taking a thoughtful approach to making this process as smooth as possible.

When moving white goods, we first evaluate the environment of the old home, the specific home itself and the washing machine. In the case of old flats or apartments, we often encounter narrow stairs or a small elevator. If this poses a potential problem, we use a moving lift. This lift is carefully placed against the window, after which the washing machine is carefully placed on the platform. If there is enough space in the elevator, we choose to use a hand truck to transport the washing machine.

In addition, all water pipes must be turned off and the washing machine must be disconnected. This prevents any leaks in both the old home and the moving van. It is wise to attach the washing machine water hose to the machine with the end up. We also ensure that the washing machine is firmly secured to prevent loose parts from being damaged during transport.

Transport

Once the washing machine has been carefully removed from the old home and is ready to be transported, it is time to place it in the moving van. It is important to take some precautions to prevent damage.

Firstly, it is advisable to place the washing machine as low as possible in the moving van. Placing heavy objects high makes unloading difficult and could potentially lead to damage during transport. By positioning the washing machine in a low, stable location, you minimize the risk of shock and movement while driving.

In addition, it is wise to cover the washing machine with, for example, a moving blanket. This protects the machine against bumps, scratches and other possible damage during transport. The rug can be secured with sturdy tension straps to ensure that it stays in place during the ride.

It is also important to place other items in the moving van in a safe manner so that they cannot hit or damage the washing machine. Make sure there is sufficient protection and clearance between the washing machine and other objects to prevent shock and friction.

Safely placing the washing machine in the moving van is essential to ensure that it arrives safely at the new location. By placing the washing machine in a low position, covering it and ensuring there is sufficient protection and space in the moving van, you minimize the risk of damage during transport.

Transport yourself? Here are some tips

When transporting a washing machine, whether loading or unloading, it is important to take the proper precautions to prevent damage. Whether you are moving to a new home or need to take the washing machine to a repair shop, here are some important steps to follow.

1. Preparation: Before moving the washing machine, make sure it is completely turned off and disconnected from the power supply and water pipes. Then you need to drain the water from the machine and make sure the drum is empty. It is also advisable to secure the drum with shipping bolts or pins to prevent damage from movement during transportation.

2. Protection: To prevent scratches, dents or other damage, it is advisable to pack the washing machine with protective material, such as blankets, cushions or special moving blankets. Make sure that all vulnerable parts, such as control panels or door seals, are well protected.

3. Tools: Moving a washing machine can be a challenging task due to its 100kg weight and size. It is advisable to use a hand truck or a Grippy to distribute the weight and make it easier to move the machine. Be sure to secure the washing machine securely to the hand truck to prevent it from falling or shifting during transportation.

4. Loading: When loading the washing machine into a vehicle, ensure that it is securely positioned and will not move while driving. Place the machine on a level surface and use tie-down straps or ropes if necessary to hold it in place. Make sure there is sufficient protection between the washing machine and other objects in the vehicle to prevent damage.

5. Unloading: When unloading the washing machine, be careful to avoid injury. Make sure there are enough people available to help lift and place the machine at the desired location. If necessary, use a hand truck again to distribute the weight and move the machine safely.
