Tips To Follow And Why Hiring Movers Can Be Your Best Bet

3 December 2021 by Eric Harrison

If you are going to be moving, then you might want to hire movers to help with some or even all of your move. Here are some tips on making your move go as smoothly as possible, especially when you work with movers.

Use two sizes of moving boxes

You can hire movers to come into your home and pack all of your things. Or, you can pack them yourself. If you choose to pack your home on your own, then you want to use only two sizes of boxes and use moving boxes. The moving company will likely have boxes they can sell to you. The reason to use only two sizes is that it makes it much easier to stack the boxes. When the boxes are properly stacked, then your items will be safer and there will also be less risk of the stacks falling and injuring someone. 

Disassemble awkwardly shaped large items

If you have large items that have awkward shapes, then you should disassemble them before you attempt to move them into the moving truck. If you hire movers to pack your home, then they will disassemble those things, and they will reassemble them at your new home. The reason for doing this is that it makes it much easier for you to fit the items in the moving truck, and they won't take up as much space. 

Use the right dollies

There are different types of dollies to use when you are moving your household belongings. There are furniture dollies that are flat, have no handle, and go under the furniture. There are appliance dollies that are heavy-duty and have straps to secure the appliances in place. Another type of dolly is the pushcart, which is similar to furniture dollies, except they have handles. One of the most commonly used dollies is utility dollies, which as also called hand trucks, and they are good for miscellaneous items. Using the wrong dolly can cause accidents that damage your items and can even cause injuries. Movers know the right dollies to use for each item, so there is much less chance of accidents happening. 

Use the right packing supplies

In order to properly protect your fragile items, you need to choose the right packing materials, which you can also likely buy from the moving company. There are packing peanuts, bubble wrap, packing paper, crinkle paper, air pillows, and more. When you hire movers to pack your home, they will show up with the best packing materials to protect each fragile item correctly. 

Conclusion

When you are moving, you should consider hiring movers. If possible, think about hiring them to take care of every aspect of the physical move, from the packing to the unpacking, and everything in between. Your move will go faster and be less stressful and there will be less risk of injuries and damages.
