Step-by-step instructions for machine packing and loading to a truck, along with key points checklists

for movers:

Step 1: Planning and Preparation

machines.

3.3 Use moving dollies to transport the machines from their current location to the truck.

3.4 Use proper lifting techniques, such as bending at the knees and not the waist, to prevent injuries.

3.5 Ensure the machines are loaded in a logical and secure manner, with the heaviest and largest
machines placed at the bottom and towards the front of the truck.
