Furniture Move is one of the most common tasks in the field of activity of urban freight carriers. Residents of a large city, for example, Moscow, regularly move apartments or buy furniture, so Move companies are faced with a similar task almost every day.

As you might guess, this issue is not so simple. To ensure the safety of furniture during Move, you need to take into account a number of rules. Let’s take a closer look at them so you know what you’ll be faced with.

METHODS OF MOVING FURNITURE BY CAR

Depending on the functional characteristics of the vehicle used for Move, there are two methods of Moving furniture:

Bulk;
Tarny.
Bulk Move is carried out by Move companies offering the services of professional loaders . For this purpose, special trucks called furniture carriers are used. Converted most often on the Gazelle base, they allow you to save time on loading furniture and safely deliver what you need without the use of additional fastening devices.

The body of the furniture carrier is made of multi-layer panels that provide shock absorption from the inside and complete protection from weather conditions from the outside. The body covering must have anti-slip properties.

The container method involves the use of a vehicle with an on-board platform. In this case, all furniture is packed in containers and upholstered with protective agents.

WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER WHEN MOVING FURNITURE

Remember: an individual approach is important when Moving furniture items. It is best to disassemble prefabricated furniture – this way it will take up less space in the truck and is less likely to be damaged in transit.

Proper packaging is also very important. It is better to immediately put small elements in separate boxes, the upholstery of upholstered furniture should be tightly covered with polyethylene (you will also need polyethylene, along with foam rubber, for varnished surfaces), and the corners should be wrapped in cardboard

Also, antique furniture cannot be completely disassembled (only individual small parts), and leather furniture, for example, should not come into contact with other things – and nothing heavy should be placed on it. There are a lot of such details in the process, and you should check each piece of furniture being Moveed if the move is started on your own, without the company of Furniture Movers.

HOW TO BEST ORGANIZE THE MOVE OF FURNITURE

Of course, you can spend time, take into account all the points mentioned above, and organize your furniture move yourself. But you will spend a lot of time even just on the preparation process.

It is much easier to order a turnkey furniture transportation service from professionals. Loaders will not just load, transport and unload furniture, but will take into account every detail, place and secure the furniture in the right way.

In addition, most carriers offer moderate rates for this type of service – it is much better to pay certain reasonable funds than to waste a lot of time and nerves.
