Steps To Shipping Your Fridge Successfully
It might seem like a doddle to courier a fridge but thanks to their clever cooling systems and bulky nature, fridges need to be handled carefully when they are moved around – whether it’s to a new room or a new house.
Empty the fridge
Of course the first step is to remove all items from all sections of the fridge. Unfortunately this might mean throwing away food so either plan some hefty meals in the days leading up to the move or invite some hungry friends who will naturally be happy to take some food from you. Once all the food has been removed you will have to take out any drawers, shelves, containers and tubs. If you have any other adornments on the exterior like fridge magnets, remove them and transport them separately. If there is anything loose inside the fridge, damage can be caused to the interior.. If for some reason you cannot remove the containers you should tape them securely within the fridge.
Make sure it is defrosted
Let the fridge defrost a good two days before being moved as the melted ice could cause damage during the move. Wipe the inside of the fridge and leave it to dry out completely before it’s moved. Only after the fridge is defrosted and dried out can you secure the doors shut. Secure the doors with rope or cord – tape should not be used because once it is removed it can leave visible marks.
Transporting your fridge
Now comes the difficult bit. Unless you have a very small fridge it is always best to use a heavy goods dolly for transport. Slide the dolly underneath the fridge by tipping it on its side. Have a friend help steady the dolly and another to help lift the fridge onto the dolly itself.
prior to doing this you need to measure the fridge and compare to the width of your hallways and door frames. Most furniture can be placed on their side when they need to be moved but a fridge can’t, therefore you should always transport it in its upright position.
to get the fridge down a flight of stairs, guide the dolly one step at a time. You will need to enlist the help of your mates to be at either side of the fridge to steady it when it is being moved.
Transport provider
When you hire a man and van outfit to move your fridge, it is essential to check that their vehicle has enough vertical space, as it should be transported upright. If you have no other choice but to move it on its side, you should ask the manufacturer and read the relevant manual for further instruction. Ask your courier to secure the fridge in their vehicle to prevent it from moving around during transit..
Upon arrival
Return the fridge to its upright position if necessary and make sure the path is clear to its new destination. Again, tilt the fridge whilst somebody holds it either side and slide the dolly from underneath it. If the fridge has been on its side, wait 24 hours before plugging it back in so that oil from the compressor will move back to its proper place.
