Default Tips for transporting a washer and dryer on their side


"muzician21" wrote in message

Going to transport a top load washer and front load dryer on their
sides in my station wagon. I believe new ones have a transport bolt
that holds things in place during handling, if I transport these on
their side, I assume the bolt is going to be long gone.

Any tips for transporting them like that?


The dryer should be OK but the washer might be a problem. I inverted one
once to work on it and all the oil leaked out of the transmission. The drum
inside is also mounted with springs and bouncing down the road with the drum
sideways might also cause some mischief.

Trailer or rent/borrow a truck or van.

they come up with this striped stuff.
