Moving to a new home can be an exciting adventure — but excitement quickly turns to dread when it’s time to move your large and heavy items. Fear not! Little Guys Movers is here to share some valuable insights on how to move hefty belongings — and why working with a moving company may be best.
Plan and Prepare
Moving large and heavy items requires meticulous planning. Start by assessing the dimensions and weight of each item to determine the best approach — you need to be sure your items can fit through your doorways, after all! If they can’t, those items will need to be disassembled and reassembled at the final destination.
Acquire the right tools, like dollies, sliders, and straps, to help distribute weight evenly and protect both the item and your floors during the move. And don’t forget protective equipment like moving blankets and bubble wrap!
Communication is Key
This should be obvious, but just in case — don’t try to move large, heavy items alone! Or even with just one other person, for that matter. You need a small group to help share the load. When you’re ready to move the item, communicate, communicate, communicate! Clear any obstacles or obstructions along the pathways you will use to prevent accidents and streamline the moving process. Discuss the logistics, challenges, and any special instructions related to the large and heavy items. This will help everyone stay on the same page and minimize potential issues.
