Proper use of appliance hand truck straps is essential for preventing load shifts, equipment damage, and personal injury. Always inspect straps before each use to ensure there are no frays, cuts, or damaged buckles. Secure the strap tightly around the appliance and hand truck frame, keeping the load centered and balanced. Never rely on a single loose strap when transporting heavy appliances.
When moving appliances, maintain firm control of the hand truck at all times and avoid sudden stops or sharp turns. Keep hands and fingers clear of buckle mechanisms during tightening. Do not exceed the strap’s rated working load limit, and replace worn straps immediately. Using properly rated appliance straps significantly reduces tipping hazards and improves overall transport safety.
