11 year old video and it helped me move my appliances in 2022!!!!! Miss seeing this type of quality video, the good ol days
Me 2023
That's why I'm here now😩😩
Me 2024
I have everything, except the 2 big- strong guys.
Exactly
Good that your howny
Good instructional video. Ive seen people do this the wrong way every time. The last thing you want is your reefer falling off the dolly because you didn't strap it right. . Always use two people for this. Attempting this by yourself is asking for trouble.
So sad no one left a comment! Thank you for teaching us how to move appliances the right way! I was thinking I would need this dolly but I actually need the other since I'm just moving furniture and boxes. :)
The best video ever. Still helps me in 2024. Thank you
U- haul you are really the best.👍🏼 We just moved and we were so worried how we will move and how we can manage but you guys have everything that makes it so easy. All the tools you have is soooooo helpful 😍👍🏼 it made moving so easy and simple. God Bless you 🙏💕
I actually have to move a similar fridge this weekend and I’ve been dreading it since it looked difficult. This video helped a TON! Thank you
There's another vid that shows how fridges aren't always centered with their weight---some being heavier in the front. In which case, you have to adjust the hand truck/dolly accordingly, after you've got it placed under the fridge, by moving the hand truck toward the front of the fridge just a bit. Thus you ensure the fridge weight is centered on the hand truck. I think shoulder straps and not a hand truck are the way to go if stairs are involved. Apparently the straps are only $40 at Home Depot.
Perfect timing for me! Thank You!
Excellent, simple and clear easy to fallow instructions thank you for showing how to do this. Now I know
hope this works to move a couch and heavy sofa chair, solo
This helped me move a 400lb gun safe. Wasn’t easy moving that heavy bitch but this helped a lot.
Thanks guys very helpful video
Thank you for the video!
This is really helpful coz I was wondering how it doesn’t fall off the dolly, thinking of doing up and selling furniture after buying off eBay and I’ve got to get them up down my flat!
For moving a washer and dryer and a lot of boxes would a utility dolly be better than an appliance dolly?
Thank you!
Great video.
Thank you very much.
Very informative thanks 🙏
Glad it was helpful!
Very useful
Thanks
Thank you
What size is that truck? Or rather what is the right size?
Legend!
What about stairs?
yah thats kind of the whole point here
Yes, they should have shown how to move that reefer up a flight of stairs using a double-axle appliance dolly. Moving the appliance on or off the truck is the EASY part!!
@@TheOzthewiz I just bear hug it and lift it up one stair at a time. Make sure to keep your back straight and have your knees/thighs do all the work.
Pay some street guys... problem solved.
HELPFUL
Thanks
How do you keep the refrigerator from moving or falling over in the truck? Can a refrigerator be placed on its back for moving?
You tie it to the wall, that's what the wooden slats are for in the truck, use heavy nylon rope to tie it so it doesn't fall over.
How do you go out over steps and out of house with a step at exit/door?
I'll leave a comment good job guys 😃
Thank You for this video,I have insight now.
Pero no protegen la nevera para mi mal trabajo exitos
How do you use it to go up stairs to 2nd or 3rd floor of apartment?
dolly upstairs or downstairs in general, the load faces downstairs from you. going up, pull it up one step at a time. going down, push it down one step at a time, but as it goes off the edge of the step, pull back some so it goes down more slowly and controlled. if you need to pause in either direction, just be completely on a step and don't let go too much.
@@ButterfatFarms sure, but that doesn't answer David's question assuming he was asking seriously.
What if you don’t have a ramp?
That's not a dolly. That's a hand truck.
Not in Uhaul terminology. They are a Utility or an Appliance Dolly. What you are thinking of as a dolly is what Uhaul refers to as their Furniture Dolly. It is what it is. It's both.
Use those several times a year.
How do I get one of these up to my attic?
Filling the fridge with Helium balloons helps a lot.
They're called movers. Hire a few guys. Make the hard part earning the $$$ to pay them, not doing the grunt work yourself.
Wonder if he still works there nearly 14 years later
Why do you want to know? You have eyes for U haul guys, Princess??
How about a real flatbed truck with no ramp?
Uhaul is not for you.
and how does it work if your uhaul truck doesnt come with a ramp....
Order one that does
@@trevor5290 Id rather use two boards... lol... Im not paying for a 15 foot truck that I dont need, just to have a ramp to load one or two appliances.... their regular trucks below 15 foot should also be supplied with ramps for loading... even their 10 foot trucks arent equipped with a ramp....
You mean if you rented the wrong truck? Yeah, don't do that. They're pretty clear which rentals come with a ramp or don't. 15' and up have a ramp. But if you want to be a cheapskate over the $10 price difference between the 10 footer and the 15 footer well you do you and be cheap like that. Whatever, have fun with that frugal nonsense. lol, 10 bucks difference is nothing today! It's 19.95 vs 29.95. oh the horror, the horror! That's too expensive for you! Hope you already had the boards because they'll cost you more than $10 at home depot, lowes, etc.🤣
@@ButterfatFarms whatever butter fat.... WHY would I get a truck size(15ft) that I dont need, just to get a ramp.... ? I dont care if they rent them for 5 cents - 6 cents each... I didnt need a 15 foot truck....to haul two appliances....its been handled without uhaul , somebody else has business sense to have ramps for their trucks, instead of just the 15 foot or more... you in these comments acting like you work for or own uhaul.. you mad cuz I said all of their trucks should have ramps on them.... talking somebody cheap.. naw. uhaul is cheap for having ramps on their ALL of the trucks.... period

That thing you're doing, it's called whining. U-Haul is not for you. They could care less about what your cheap frugal ass wants. Time to get over it. You're not special and they're not going to be humoring you. Go buy your planks of wood and get on with it. No matter the business you cheap ass customers are always the worst whiny demanding entitled losers of all. Never fails. That's your problem. Fuck off. 🤣
Twice, RC Willeys delivered my fridge and used hand truck on side with waterline and twice broke the water I let and tubing!
Im gonna drop all my shit on the floor guaranteed
BTW, turning to the right IS NOT counter clockwise!!!
In this case right is counter clockwise. It is positioned horizontally, not vertically.
You pay enough to rent a u-Haul why do we have to pay for renting There dollies?
Because its money. Some of the best investments in life is a dolly and ladder lmao
By your logic, if I wanted to only rent a single dolly, then it should be free?
Sorry Linda we don’t speak broke bitch here at U-Haul
Wear & tear, replacing the belt when they wear out. I used to have a carpet shampooer that everyone knew about and everyone wanted to borrow. One day it didn't work when I needed it. Called the person who'd last used it "ooh, it worked fine the whole time I was using it!" Uh huh, sure. That's why they charge you, nobody wants to pay if it breaks. I never lend my new carpet shampooer to anyone.
The same reason you have to pay to rent the truck. They aren't running a charity. They're running a rental business. It ain't just trucks. It's everything else you'll need to move too as well as storage units. You pay for what you need. Why should the rest of us have to pay even more because every truck comes with a complimentary hand truck and a dolly to suit you? You think the rental price of the truck would remain the same if they did that? NO. If i don't need a dolly why should i be paying inflated truck prices to provide for someone like you who does? lol, No thanks! You pay for it, you need it.
I came here to find Dolly
Thank you very much.
