Moving Heavy Appliances


I live alone and sometimes have to move heavy stuff by myself ( refrigirator washer dryer). I have tried the put a blanket or cardboard under it and drag it trick. If I can't get someone to help me out, what are some good ways to move things alone? If you can't resist.................ok let the jokes out.

Re: Moving Heavy Appliances


Never used an air sled, I heard they work well, but I don't think you'd be able to use them on stairs if that's a concern. Just emptied out the trailer, here's what I use, an appliance dolly, it has stair belts on the back for going up and down stairs. If you get one stay away from the aluminum ones, they're lighter but break a lot more than the steel ones.
