July 10, 2017 at 3:37 pm | Top Tips for Moving Furniture

One of the most frustrating challenges that movers face is transporting heavy, large or oddly-shaped furniture into their new home. Moving furniture is always a pain, so take some tips from your local movers in North Wales, PA to make the struggle a little less challenging.

  • Invest in furniture sliders. One of the best things that you can do when moving large objects like couches or chests of drawers is to purchase a set of four furniture sliders. These small squares of plastic can be placed under the legs of your furniture and pushed along, rather than being lifted. Furniture sliders are a must-have for people moving with any large object on legs.

 

  • Bend from your knees. When bending down to lift heavy pieces of furniture, bend from your knees and let the power behind you lift come from your core, rather than bending down at the waist and using your back to lift. Your back is not as strong as your core, and you can do serious and potentially permanent damage to your back should you pull a muscle.

 

  • Remove drawers before moving. If possible, you should remove all drawers in desks, armoires and filing cabinets before moving. Not only does removing the drawers make the item easier to lift, but it also removes the chance of losing control of the piece of furniture because of swinging or falling drawers.

 

  • Consider hiring the experts. Moving furniture can be an arduous, long and potentially unsafe project if you are not experienced or strong enough to be lifting your things. Inexperienced movers put themselves at risk of pulled muscles or hernias if they do not follow proper procedure. To take the hassle and stress out of moving, seriously consider hiring professional movers in Doylestown, PA. They can save you time, money and headaches in the long run.
