Continue reading below for some specialty moving tips on how to move heavy furniture.
Collect All Necessary Moving Equipment And Packing Supplies
Before you even start thinking about moving your heavy furniture, ensure you have all the necessary moving equipment and packing supplies on hand in advance to save you time, energy, and stress. You’ll likely need a dolly and straps, sliders, packing tape, packing paper, and boxes to efficiently move the heavier items in your home.
If you don’t want to rent or buy these items, we suggest hiring a team of professional specialty movers who already have this equipment on hand.
Empty Out Your Furniture Before Moving
Instead of trying to move a dresser with all your belongings still in it, we recommend emptying the dresser and putting the contents into a separate box. This will not only make the dresser significantly lighter and, therefore, easier to lift, but it will also ensure nothing accidentally falls or breaks. You don’t want any of the items in your furniture to move around while you’re lifting them, as that can shift the weight and possibly cause you to drop the piece of furniture.
Take the extra few minutes to remove these items, and you’ll be thankful you did.
Implement Proper Techniques
Save energy and effort by sliding your heavy furniture rather than constantly lifting it up and down. When the situation occurs that you do need to lift any heavy items, spare your back and focus on using your arms, legs, and shoulders to do the lifting. You don’t want to be aching and sore the following day after your move, or even worse, hurt yourself during the process.
Don’t Try To Move Heavy Furniture By Yourself
We truly and genuinely care about your safety, and that can be compromised when you try to lift and move heavy furniture solo. Whether you hire professional movers or convince your close friends to help with your move, we always recommend having at least two other people when moving heavy items. This ensures a safer move overall and, on top of that, speeds up the moving process.
