How to Move Large and Bulky Items Safely and Efficiently
Moving is challenging and the biggest challenge is moving bulky items. Local or international, moving heavy items like furniture, appliances, etc. can be quite a task. While that may be the case for residential moving, commercial moving doesn’t come any easier. There’s machinery and there’s furniture – all of this calls for some really careful planning so as to not cause any damage to people or property.
For over 100 years Chess Moving has been providing effective moving solutions to individuals, residences and businesses. Our expertise extends over all aspects of relocation and moving – be it moving your tiny valuables or bulky impedimenta. Before we let you in on how we help, let us take a look at some tips on how to move large and bulky items safely and efficiently.
Get Help
Physical of course! Get some friends or neighbours or anyone who is capable of moving heavy items and is also willing to. The more the merrier and definitely a lot easier on the hard work. While additional hands help, we also need people to think on their feet while lifting heavyset items.
Plan and Prepare
Lifting and moving large and bulky items may be all muscle power but it needs a strong foundation of planning and preparation. You need to make sure what items need to be moved and check their measurements against those of the doors and hallways that the items need to be carried through.
Use the Right Tools
No matter the number of extra hands you gather to help you move the bulky items, they can’t beat using the right tools. Ramps, rollers, lifting straps, utility dollies, and sliders or glides are all the various types of tools you can use to lift or move your furniture, appliances and all other heavy items.
Use the Right Techniques
Before lifting or moving a heavy object, you need to understand the right technique you should adopt. Whether you need to push or pull, in what position you should lift and move the object, and how many people are needed to move or lift the object, are all factors you need to consider before making the move.
Dissemble if Possible
When moving heavy pieces of furniture or machinery, it is only reasonable to dissemble wherever possible. Lifting parts of heavy objects one by one and moving them is a lot easier than moving the whole piece of equipment. So whether it is a bookshelf or a computer, dissembling will make shifting it easier.
Protect the Objects
Before moving the heavy objects, make sure to protect them using bubble wrap or other protective packaging materials. This is important because while carrying these heavy objects across the hallway or up and down the stairs, they may slip or hit the walls and windows thereby causing some two-way damage.
HIRE A SPECIALIST - THE BEST SOLUTION TO MOVE HEAVY OBJECTS
They Have the Team
Professional movers have a team which means there are more hands to do the heavy lifting for you. They have a number of removalists and movers who work on your relocation project and can move all your heavy furniture and appliances in addition to moving all other items.
They Have the Equipment
Professionals know the way to do things the right way. They have the right kind of tools and know how to use them on their job. They use ramps, lifting straps, utility dollies and a host of other equipment to handle heavy hauling of all proportions. This helps them complete all kinds of moving jobs efficiently.
They Have the Training
The professional moving teams have all the training on all aspects of moving – the heavy hauling, the transportation, and all. Be it the use of tools effectively or using the right kind of techniques, professionals are on top of it at all times. This makes them the right choice for moving all your belongings, even the heavy ones.
They Can Do it Safely and Efficiently
Given the tools, the training, and all the experience, a professional mover can get done with moving your large items in a safe and effective manner. Professional movers can also get the job done rather quickly and keep the whole process smooth.
