Moving heavy furniture can be a challenging endeavor for people over 35 and up. We as professionals in our industry aim to make this process as smooth and painless for our customers as possible. On that note, here are 5 strategies moving companies employ when facing this daunting challenge of transporting heavy items with expertise and finesse.
Assessment and Planning
Prior to beginning a move, we conduct an extensive assessment and planning exercise of all furniture pieces that need moving. Determine which are the heaviest pieces and locate appropriate routes for removal and loading. An effective pre-move plan will always help ensure a successful and cost-efficient move.
High-Quality Moving Equipment
We invest in quality moving equipment to make the task of moving easier for our moving crews. Furniture sliders, lifting straps and dollies are indispensable tools that help reduce physical strain on movers. Having this equipment handy is essential to ensure the wellbeing of our movers and the success of your move.
Team Coordination and Experience
Collaboration is of the utmost importance when moving heavy furniture. Train your moving crew in effective communication and coordination techniques to ensure an effortless effort, avoid accidents and maximize efficiency during the move. Encourage constant dialogue to foster efficiency during this vital task.
Disassembly and Reassembly
For furniture pieces which are large and cumbersome, we disassemble them before loading and transport. Not only will this make the pieces easier to handle for our moving crews but it also maximize space usage once loaded into the truck!
Protective Measures
We also take measures to safeguard both your furniture and its surroundings. Furniture pads and blankets are used to avoid scratches or dings during loading and transport. Moreover, floor protection will protect it from potential damages during the moving process. I mean, sometimes accidents do happen but we do take these precautions on every move to demonstrate our commitment to delivering your furniture at your new place in its original state.
Proper Lifting Techniques
Proper lifting techniques are crucial to injury prevention when moving. All our movers are constantly trained to use their leg muscles when lifting, rather than theirs backs. Sometimes people just don’t understand that it’s impossible to lift heavy furniture with just 2 people, even if they’re professionals. With over 20 years of experience on local moving, we’ve learned how to allocate moving crews properly to ensure proper handling of bulky and heavy furniture.
Transparent Communication
Communicating clearly and openly with our customers at every stage is key for us in order to guarantee a 5-star service on moving day. Setting expectations with you about challenges associated with heavy furniture transportation as well as outlining any specific requirements your move might require certainly creates a stress-free atmosphere on the day of the move.
Customized Solutions
Each move is unique, and taking an “all or nothing” approach may not work in all cases. This is why we tailor our services specifically to meet the needs of your move, especially when it comes to handling bulky and heavy furniture.
Efficient Furniture Loading and Unloading
Efficient furniture loading and unloading is paramount. We place heavy pieces at the bottom of the truck and evenly distribute weight for an uninterrupted journey and smoother unloading at your new home.
Post-Move Follow-up
Once your move has concluded, we will follow up with you to solicit feedback about your experience and address any immediate or long-term concerns as soon as they arise. We care about customer satisfaction as part of an effort to establish our reputation as the most trusted moving company in the DMV area.
Conclusion
Mastering the art of moving heavy furniture requires strategic planning, professional equipment and an experienced moving crew. By hiring a professional moving company to handle your move, you not only overcome the heavy-lifting challenge effortlessly but also guarantees that you experience a 5-star service on moving day.
