[AreseV6]

I have an american style fridge freezer and im having a vinyl floor fitted later this week i dont want to have to cut round i want them to fit the flooring under so the fridge is going to have to be moved has anybody got any good ideas for moving it anybody used any type of castors or an ingenious way of moving the lump of a thing for fitting ?

I have never had an American Fridge. Does it not have castors at the back instead of feet? I've just moved 2 fridge freezers this morning (not American fridges) and both had feet at the front and wheels at the back. The wheels do not steer however.

I have had fridges many years ago that just had feet. What I did in those days was to get a piece of hardboard or something smooth and put it under the appliance making sure that all the feet were on the wood (kind of lift a side, push the hardboard, lift the other side etc).

Then it slid pretty easy on most floors (capret tiles / wood / marley tiles) without damaging the appliance or the floor surface.

Good luck with it. I know a good chiropractor if you need the number

Most van hire places rent them at about 8 quid a day.

Yeah im pretty sure it has wheels at the back i moved it once though and all i can say is fk that for a game of cricket plus the floor guys were concerned about upsetting the floor going down so it needs to be mopved out of the way completely and put back with out dragging it over their hard work but cheers for the advice should be sorted now

Skateboard for the front and a bit of old lino or cardboard to protect the floor

Try these. Can't vouch for them but they look a good idea.

An off-cut of carpet (upside down) will ensure an easy slide over the new floor once laid.
