Save Your Back: Rent a Dolly to Move
Back pain is the most common injury associated with moving, surely due to the lifting of heavy objects with one’s back rather than one’s legs. This is why moving heavy objects with a dolly is crucial; it will make heavy appliances and furniture easier to move while saving your back from being torched the wrong way.
Using a dolly is relatively simple for most folks. Take it to the edge of a large, heavy appliance, lift the bottom edge of the appliance and slip the dolly underneath. Make sure to center the dolly so that the weight of the appliance is even on both sides. It’s not always necessary, but strapping the appliance to the dolly frame is a good idea for stability. Lastly, tip the dolly back on its wheels and move the heavy object.
Don’t be like most folks and try to carry everything with brute strength. This is how you hurt yourself, while moving heavy objects. Get a dolly, call over a friend, and properly move the safe way in order to insure that no body needless gets hurt.
