How to transport a washing machine

Transportation of any equipment is associated with excess vibrations that may entail serious breakdowns. In the case of a washing machine of increased danger, the rotation mechanism is subjected: the non-fixed drum can significantly damage the inner device of the machine. To avoid unwanted consequences during transportation, it is necessary to pay due attention to the correct packaging.

1
Before packing a washing machine, it should be prepared for transportation:

  • disconnect the water supply and removal hose;
  • disconnect from the mains, fix the cable using the tape or special plastic or rubber screeds;
  • drain the water from the hoses so that it does not pour out at the most inopportune moment on the loaders or truck cars, the water container must be lower in the level than the pallet of the washing machine;
  • fix with Scotch all the opening and extending parts of the machine.

The perfect option for transportation is the original packaging. Bolts help to fix the drum under the rear wall to avoid its free rotation and, as a result, damage to the drive mechanism. Foam mounting of a special form fix the position of the washing machine in the outer packaging, reduce vibration.

If the original packaging is not preserved, then the materials that simulate the factory packaging will be used, which will reduce vibration and friction: foam, polyrophy, foamed polyethylene, cardboard, dense fabric, air-bubble film.

Transportation of the washing machine is produced in a vertical position. If transport does not allow you to withstand this requirement, then the car is lowered to the rear wall. In this case, there is a danger of water residues to wiring, which may cause a short circuit and a fire with further operation.

5
It is important to consolidate the washing machine in the cargo transport to avoid its free movement or fall. If furniture is also transported or other large household appliances, then you can fix the washing machine between them, after having softening the material to avoid friction of surfaces.

6
Before connecting a washing machine in a new place for safe operation, you should make sure that there are no water inside the car.

Currently, there are many carriers that have in their fleet equipped trucks, loaders, and can also provide the necessary packaging material.
