Three rules must be followed to safely transport appliances from Boston to Framingham:
- Careful preparation (disconnecting and cleaning parts, if possible).
- Effective packing.
- Secure attachment to the back of the truck.
Here are a few guidelines to help organize the shipment of appliances from Boston to Framingham.
Kitchen
Refrigerator. First of all, it must be completely free of food, defrosted and washed. Then, remove the shelves and vegetable storage containers.
It is important to secure the door well so that it will not open and slam during transport from Boston to Framingham. If there is no factory box, as is most often the case, corrugated cardboard, air-tight film or regular foam plastic can be used for packing.
Transport the refrigerator in a strictly vertical position with the use of soft straps for fixation. This is explained by the fact that in a horizontal position, the compressor fixing may be broken, which, in turn, may lead to oil leakage.
After transportation, you should not immediately turn on the refrigerator. It is worth waiting at least a couple of hours.
Microwave oven. For its transportation from Boston to Framingham is mandatory box, preferably the factory one. Before you put the microwave in it, it needs to be wrapped tightly in foil or cloth. It is also important that the box is not too big. The fact is that otherwise the walls will deform on impact. In addition, the box, from which even a small part of the microwave will be visible, will not be useful. In this case, it is better to take several layers of film.
Blender, combine and other appliances with glass parts. It should be wrapped in film or cloth. And, of course, disconnect the blades and other moving parts so that they don’t dangle or scratch glass surfaces during transportation from Boston to Framingham.
Small appliances such as a mixer, toaster and electric kettle. They don’t take up much space, but they shouldn’t be stacked in one big box. They can knock against each other when the car is in motion and cause unsightly scratches.
Bathroom
Washing machine. Despite the fact that it is massive and heavy, there are usually no special difficulties in transporting it from Boston to Framingham. The main thing is to secure the drum qualitatively with the help of fixing screws that come with the washing machine. If it is possible to disconnect the couplings and hoses yourself, do it by placing them in a box or bag. But if this is not possible, then we are happy to help. The washing machine itself is wrapped with an air-pure film that actively prevents condensation, as well as the appearance of mechanical damage – scratches, chips, cracks.
Living rooms
In no case should it be placed with the screen down. Moreover, LCD monitors require thorough preparation. First they are wrapped in air-foam film, and then placed in a box with foam. The same rule applies to modern plasma panels, as they are extremely sensitive to vibration and shock. Classic models of kinescope TVs are more unpretentious, so an elaborate mount is enough to transport them from Boston to Framingham.
Computer. It is best to transport it in the factory box, disconnecting all wires from the monitor and processor in advance and carefully folding the mouse and keyboard. Particular attention should be paid to securing the system unit so that the hard drive stays in place during transportation from Boston to Framingham.
Laptop. It is convenient to put it in a special cloth bag. For greater safety, you can use air bubble wrap to protect it from dust, vibration, and condensation.
Vacuum cleaner. It must first be disassembled by separating the brushes and hose from the body. Vacuum cleaners with a “wet cleaning” system require you to remove all water from the tank.
Cameras, hair dryers, and other small appliances just need to be wrapped in an air-tight foil and then placed in bags. This will protect them from damage.
