How to read weight labels and plan a reasonable trip.

This checklist helps you plan ahead for delivery to your room and daily movement, by distinguishing between the weight of the main unit, accessories, and packaging.

Check what the weight includes.

Check the product page to see if the weight listed is for the body only or includes the head. If clothing or a base is attached, record those separately as well. Before comparing numbers, make sure the measurement conditions are consistent for each candidate to avoid inaccurate weight comparisons.

Verify the route in person.

Walk from the entrance to the installation location, checking the direction doors open, corners, steps, and obstacles on the ground. Also consider whether you will need to temporarily set down the items during transport. Whether the packaged items will fit through or whether there is space to remove the main unit should be considered separately.

Don't decide on your own way of holding it.

It's not always safe to use the head, limbs, or joints as handles. Ask the seller about the appropriate support position and posture for the product, and it's safer not to start working with it if you're unsure. If you're unsure whether you can handle it, check how to get help and the conditions of the delivery service.

Reduce daily travel

Arrangements that require moving heavy objects every time you need to clean become a burden the longer you use them. Keep cleaning supplies and the work area close together and leave a clear passageway. When using dollies or platforms, don't just choose based on weight capacity; check the fixing method and compatibility with the product.

Checklist

  • I checked the range of the displayed weight.
  • I checked the doors, steps, and temporary storage area.
  • We confirmed the support position and assistance method.
