How to transport the refrigerator in the car correctly

How can you theoretically carry a refrigerator?

It would seem that it's incomprehensible: vertically, that's all. But no. In fact, you can skilfully transport such a fragile item of household appliances in three positions.

1. Vertically. This option is the easiest and safest, provided that the device is securely fixed with strong belts, the door is tied, and the shelves are taken out. It is important that the refrigerator can not move or fall, so fixation plays a decisive role here.
2. Angled. If for any reason the transportation of the refrigerator "in full growth" is impossible, then the option of transportation at an inclination will be optimal. It is important to observe the technology of loading and unloading, and you need to take this load extremely carefully. In particular, the angle of inclination should not exceed 40 degrees, and before transportation the technician should be carefully prepared and packed.
3. Lying down. The most dangerous of the ways. If you do not want to take risks, it's better to order delivery with more appropriate transportation and bring the refrigerator unscathed. But, if you can not without adrenaline, strictly follow the instructions that are posted at the end of the article.

Preparation of a refrigerating chamber for transporting

The success of an enterprise depends largely on how well the equipment is prepared for transportation. How to transport the refrigerator:

1. Remove the food from the chamber in advance, wipe it and thaw it to room temperature.
2. Remove all typesetting items( shelves, cameras for vegetables and fruits) and pack them. It is desirable to shift all the glass elements with something damping, and fill the boxes with something in order not to crush.
3. If possible, pack the unit itself to avoid scratches and more serious damage. The more carefully it is necessary to turn the equipment, the further it needs to be transported and the worse to the destination of the road.
4. All doors must be fixed with straps or tape, if you are sure that it will not damage the enamel. This is necessary, because during the trip the loops are sure to loosen up, and to outweigh the refrigerator door is quite a troublesome business.

Horizontal transportation of refrigerator

To transport a working refrigerator lying down, you must strictly follow the instructions - then there are all chances to take it completely safe and sound. Following the points:

• Lying refrigerator can only travel on its side, and only so that the hinges of the door are on top. Do not try to carry the equipment on the back or the door - then the damages are imminent.
• The door must be fixed without fail. Best of all, if a softer material is put under the belt or a tight tape of tape, at least cardboard, so as not to damage the coating.
• The floor of the machine must be strictly level, protrusions and pits reduce the chances of an effective result. On the floor, put a soft cardboard, an old blanket or something in this spirit.
• The position of the refrigerator must be securely fixed with straps so that when moving it does not move, do not rub and do not beat about something that will damage it.
• The driver must drive neatly, circling the potholes, at low speed, avoiding bad roads.
• Loading / unloading must be carried out smoothly, without jolts or sudden movements.
• Upon arrival, do not turn on the device - it should stand for 2-3 hours to turn off all technical fluids in their place.

As for the inevitable damage in a layover, it is worth noting that they are quite real when traveling in any position, if security measures are not followed. As for the horizontal transportation - it can be the last straw only for old, frigid refrigerators. Newer models, for example, know frost, it is no more harmful than other types. Therefore, in order not to drink sedatives over the damaged equipment, just be careful with it, follow the instructions how to transport the refrigerator, and it will last for many years.
