Appliance trucks are designed to make easy work of moving heavy, bulky appliances, such as refrigerators, freezers, and ovens. When you’re shopping for an appliance truck, there are various maximum weight capacities to choose from, along with special features designed to hold your cargo safely and provide easy maneuverability. Here are a few important features to keep in mind:
Maximum weight
Appliance trucks are designed to support maximum weights starting at around 600 pounds and increasing up to thousands of pounds.
Extra-support wheels
Basic appliance trucks have two wheels, but trucks with very heavy maximum weight capacities are usually fitted with extra-support wheel assemblies. The extra wheels are placed behind the main wheels to keep the truck stable and level, and reduce the effort needed to maneuver heavy appliances safely.
The right size
Make sure your appliance truck is the right size for the job. For example, you’ll need a tall appliance truck for a tall refrigerator or freezer, or a wide one for an extra-wide oven.
Motorized appliance trucks
Manual appliance trucks are the most common type, but motorized appliance trucks have also been developed for moving very heavy appliances safely and with less effort.
