Items To Disassemble Before Moving
The items listed below can be difficult or dangerous to move if not disassembled beforehand. If you are not particularly handy, do not hesitate to call a professional moving company to do the disassembly and the move for you.
Items to consider disassembling include:
Bed frames: Bed frames are not the heaviest objects, but they can be quite cumbersome to transport in one piece. If you do not have a partner or friend to help you with your move, you will most likely have to deconstruct it and move it piece by piece. You will also have to disassemble it if it is too large to go through your doorways.
Large desks and tables: For large desks and tables, you may have to remove the legs before they can go through your doorways.
Furniture with glass: The glass on these objects makes them fragile. As such, moving the furniture and the glass separately is usually a better idea. To prevent the glass from shattering or injuring you, consider wrapping it in moving blankets, paper, or bubble wrap.
Bookcases, shelving units, and large drawers: Large items with drawers and shelves are relatively easy to disassemble and become much easier to handle when moved separately.
Items To Leave To Your Professional Mover
No matter how strong or resourceful you are, some items are best left to a professional moving company. These unconventional items are either so large or heavy that you probably do not have the tools or experience to transport them.
Consider leaving these items to moving services:
Pianos: Heavy, unwieldy, fragile, and often very valuable are all words you can use to describe a piano. You will almost certainly need multiple people, moving straps, and a trolley to safely and efficiently transport a piano.
Safes: A large safe is just as cumbersome as a fridge一except much heavier. How would you move it yourself? Professional moving services have the techniques and equipment to transport this item without damaging your walls and floor in the process.
Antiques: Consider leaving these valuable and treasured heirlooms to a moving company. Moving professionals have the experience and proper materials to safely pack these valuables and get them to their destination.
Artwork: Like antiques, artwork such as paintings and sculptures are both valuable and fragile. Leave them in the hands of your moving company for maximum peace of mind.
Appliances: An honourable mention should be given to appliances. While these items are not necessarily the hardest to move, you will probably need a dolly to transport them. Not everybody has one or feels comfortable operating it.
Moving The Smart Way
To ensure a stress-free and smooth moving experience, identify in advance the items you will have to disassemble, as well as those you will need a moving company to transport. Heavy and unwieldy items should preferably be disassembled. If that is not possible, leave them to moving services. Letting a moving company manage your entire move can be worthwhile as well.
