How do you lift a TV?

Published in Moving Electronics 1 min read

Lift a TV by having two people lift it at the same time and move it to its desired location.

To safely lift a TV, especially a larger or more delicate model like an OLED, consider these steps:

  • Preparation: Ensure the area is clear and you have a clear path to your destination. Remove any obstacles that could cause tripping or damage to the TV.

  • Two-Person Lift: Always use two people to lift a TV, especially large ones. This ensures even weight distribution and reduces the risk of dropping it.

  • Simultaneous Lifting: Coordinate with your partner to lift the TV at the same time. This prevents uneven pressure on the screen or frame.

  • Proper Lifting Technique: Bend at your knees, keeping your back straight, and lift with your legs. Avoid twisting your body while lifting.

  • Safe Handling: Hold the TV securely by the sides or bottom, avoiding pressure on the screen. Some TVs may have designated handles or grips.

  • Careful Movement: Move slowly and deliberately, keeping the TV level. Communicate with your partner to navigate obstacles.
