Washing Machine-Transport the correct way to carry a machine

Machine-Transport Page
Machine-Transport?A few people have asked, "can washing machines be transported on their sides?"

The answer is "yes", as long as the "transit bolts" are fitted to secure the drum during the journey.

Otherwise the drum will swing about during the ride and almost certainly cause internal damage to the washing machine.

This also applies to the larger machines as well as the domestic machines. Large commercial laundry machines normally have internal and external fixings to secure the drum during transit.

These should be stored somewhere safe after installation, so that should the machine ever need to moved by vehicle, it can be secured with the bolts.

The wash drum inside a washing machine normally is attached to heavy counter balance weights, which would create a sledge hammer effect inside the machine if they were not secured during the journey.

Machine-Transport care should also be taken with regard to health and safety, and correct methods of lifting using the knees and extra manpower as these machines are heavy and awkward to lift and move about.

If you intend to use a sack truck to move the machine any distand great care should be taken not to damage any parts below the drum close to ground leve, such as the pump, drive motor and electrical wiring, and not forgetting the rubber hose and pipes.

For removing the machine from its position for repair there are small roller skids that can be purchased from hardware stores to take the weight and allow easy removal and replacemt of the machine after servicing.

Allways make sure the transit bolts are attached before moving a washing machine, even on a sack truck.
