Moving a refrigerator without a furniture dog

People moving their homes or businesses often have to do so without the necessary equipment. While we recommend that you always have the right equipment for a moving job, it is still possible to do it without them. For example, when moving a refrigerator, the use of a furniture dog is always recommended. Furniture dogs make it easier to roll your fridge by supporting most of its weight and using wheels to push it out of the house. While moving refrigerators without a dolly is extremely dangerous, it is still possible with furniture sliders and an extra pair of hands.

The first step is removing the stuff from your fridge to make it lighter and more comfortable to move. After you've done this, you'll need to gently walk the refrigerator forward so that you can slide it forward slowly but surely. After doing this, you need to put a moving blanket on the floor. This makes it possible to have a less friction surface, allowing you to guide it out the door. After sliding it out your door, you can direct it to the moving truck for loading. At this stage, it is important to have someone else help you load as refrigerators can get quite heavy.

Move a refrigerator with a furniture dog.

Moving a refrigerator with a furniture dog is much better than moving it without it. As mentioned above, furniture dogs are more likely to secure your fridge because you can secure the fridge with straps. Add the fact that the wheels make it easier to transport in and out of a house. This means that it is not strange to say that a dolly is necessary for a refrigerator's safe movement. The first step in moving a refrigerator with a dolly is to empty the refrigerator's contents, including any trays and cabinets. After doing this, you will need to use furniture sliders to push it toward the dolly. Once on the dolly, do your best to secure it using tension straps. Once on the dolly and safe, you have to drive it to your moving truck.

Moving a refrigerator yourself

 

It is necessary to ensure that all contents are empty as this will make it lighter and easier to carry if you move a fridge yourself. After you have emptied all the contents, slowly move the refrigerator out and place it on the dolly. You can place the fridge's contents in chilled packaging boxes as a temporary alternative. After doing this, you need to secure the fridge so that the refrigerator is as secure as possible. After pinning it, move it to the moving truck.
