Handling the Heavy Lifting
Moving large furniture like armoires, sectionals, and solid wood dining tables is one of the most challenging aspects of any relocation. If you aren't hiring professional furniture movers, you need to know how to do it safely.
Disassembly is Key
Never try to move a piece whole if it can be taken apart. Remove legs from tables and couches, take drawers out of dressers, and dismantle bed frames. Keep all hardware in labeled Ziploc bags taped to the corresponding piece.
Use the Right Equipment
Professional movers rely on equipment, not just brute strength. Use furniture sliders, shoulder dollies, and hand trucks. Attempting to carry a heavy dresser down a flight of stairs without straps is dangerous.
Protect the Piece and the Property
Wrap all furniture tightly in moving blankets, secured with shrink wrap. This protects the finish of the furniture and prevents gouges in your drywall if you bump a corner. For high-value items, always rely on white glove professionals. If you need professional moving in Manchester or surrounding areas, we have the expertise to handle your heaviest items.
