Appliances are the most daunting part of a move for many local residents. It’s not so much the boxes they are concerned about, but the heavy, awkward and rather expensive appliances that cause them undue stress. It’s not only the sheer weight of the appliance, but the large size, awkward shape and lack of grips that make these items so difficult to move. Professional movers can arrive knowing different techniques for getting heavy appliances across a room. They can bring tools like dollies, wood planks and lifting belts to prevent injury or damage to the item.

How Much Do Appliances Weigh On Average?

No wonder people are so daunted by moving their own appliances! Just look at these numbers…

• The average refrigerator weighs 200 pounds.
• The average stove weighs 160 pounds.
• The average washing machine weighs 175 pounds.
• The average dryer weighs 150 pounds.
• The average dishwasher weighs 115 pounds.

There are risks associated with moving your own appliances.

It is easier than you may think to throw your back out, put too much strain on your knees, or sustain another injury. In addition to putting yourself at risk, inexperienced movers may also accidentally drop the appliance and cause damage that is not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty! It’s possible that a dropped or slid appliance may damage the flooring — or that the wood on the door-frame can become chipped away if you’re not careful about squeezing through the tight opening. Just think of all the times you’ll have to stop to rest your muscles a moment or ponder how you’ll get that appliance to fit through a doorway or down the hall! Experienced professional appliance movers in Kansas City have been lifting and moving heavy items for years and know how to get the job done quickly, efficiently and safely!
