Second-hand fridge delivery kept upright

Used fridges are tall, heavy and sensitive to tipping. Book a bakkie or closed truck, keep the unit upright on an appliance trolley, and avoid boot or hatchback moves that lay it on its side.

QikTruck recommendation

Book second-hand fridge delivery when the seller listing is collection only. Do not tip the fridge on its side to fit a car.
