As their washers use a cast iron set of weights that are integral to the tub. In order to remove you'd have to get the whole tub assembly out of the machine.

Other members have managed with just a good appliance dolly.
See: www.automaticwasher.org/cgi-bin/T... Just make very sure the thing is secure and properly adjusted on dolly before moving. Without any sort of loading dock, yes you'll need some sort of ramp to get the machine up into and out of your truck. Again make sure the thing is sturdy and properly fitted. Granted the trucking company that moved my Miele from NJ to NY had a truck with a life gate, it was a one man job getting the washer into our home from curb. |

I moved my Miele 1986 from NC to TN without the shipping bars. It weighs a ton but didn't hurt it at all. Heck, it bounces more with heavy wet laundry in it (until it gets up to a good speed) than it did during the transport! Moved my Asko to my last 2 apartments and then to my current house (18 years ago) also without the shipping supports...same story, didn't hurt it.
