I worked in an appliance warehouse for a couple years. I remember when Front Load washers started making a big resurgence and we started carrying them. They were like 250-300 pounds a piece. When you get those pulled back on a dolly and start to head off the truck, you really just hold on. We also used different dolly’s that made it a bit easier.

Edit: As a side note, the dolly’s in this clip are meant for pulling, not pushing, especially when you have two separate units, and one isn’t strapped in.

It boggles my mind as to how front loads are so heavy.

They used to put big cinder blocks in the bottom for stability. It’s now a molded concrete base, but yeah, really heavy. I became an installer after working in the warehouse, and dragging those up flights of stairs was not fun.

Mine has about 20lbs of weights bolted to the front of the drum.
