Feel free to call us today to speak to a team of experienced Dawson moving and storage professionals.
1. Dismantle Large Items
Many items of furniture such as couches and tables have legs or feet that can be removed to make moving them around much easier. This also applies to removable components of many pieces of furniture such as racks, drawers, and knobs. Removing these may seem like an insignificant change, but when all you need are those few extra centimetres to squeeze a couch through, they can make all the difference! If you’re not confident or you’re in a hurry, our team of Dawson removalists provides a dismantling and assembling service as part of our removalist and storage team.
2. Avoid Damage with Furniture Covers
Transporting furniture often results in unintentional damage – both to the items themselves and to walls, floors, and doorways. A great way to prevent this is to use plastic tarps or blankets to cover the item as it is moved; any accidental bumps or scrapes can be mitigated, saving a lot of trouble in the process.
3. Use Straps to Move Heavy Objects
Lifting straps can be a great way to move heavy and unwieldy objects quickly and safely, as they can be adjusted to movers of different sizes or secured to furniture or appliances that are difficult to grip and carry due to size or shape.
4. Use a Vertical Technique to Move Longer Objects
It can be daunting to try and move a long, heavy couch through doorways, especially in homes or spaces that are smaller than average. A good way to move long furniture is to stand it on its side and try to manoeuvre the objects vertically instead of horizontally. This can often be a solution to transport lengthy objects through doorways or up and down stairs.
