How Professional Movers Protect Your Belongings When You Move

Hiring professional movers is usually the best choice when you have a lot of valuable furniture and belongings. Your things need to be handled with care so nothing is damaged while in transport. Here's a quick look at how professional movers protect your things when they pack for you and move your things to your new home.

They Dismantle And Wrap Furniture As Needed

Even if you don't want a full-service move where the movers pack and unpack for you, you may still want the movers to take furniture apart and put it back together. Furniture takes up less room on the moving truck when it's taken apart. Plus, there is less chance of damage when furniture is taken apart or at least wrapped.

The movers may wrap dressers with moving blankets or bubble wrap to protect them from scratches and to keep the drawers in place. They may put mattresses in boxes and dismantle couches to wrap or box them. While it seems like a lot of work to move furniture this way, professional movers do what's needed to make sure none of your furniture is ripped, broken, or scratched when they move it.

They Use Or Recommend Proper Packing Supplies

If you let the movers pack your dishes, books, and other belongings, they'll use the appropriate moving boxes. If you want to do your own packing, the movers may recommend the right type of boxes to buy. For instance, book boxes are sturdy and small so they can hold heavy books without collapsing.

Boxes made for glasses and dishes have dividers or cells to keep the plates and glasses from bumping against each other while in transit. There are special boxes for just about anything you need to pack, including general boxes in standard sizes that make it easy to stack them.

Professional Movers Bring The Right Equipment

Professional moving equipment makes moving easier and more gentle on your things. The movers may stack boxes on hand trucks so they can move several at once. They'll also have things like moving blankets, straps, and truck gates that raise and lower so getting your heavy items on the truck is easier to do.

Plus, movers know how to load a truck properly to maximize space and ensure nothing is unstable or crowded. You might be sharing a large truck with other families, so professional movers have to be organized when loading and unloading.

One of the biggest benefits of using a moving company is it takes a lot of stress and work away from you. You have many things to attend to when you move to a new home and it's a big help if you don't have to load and unload a stuffed rented truck by yourself too.
