In recent years, many individuals have decided to DIY their move from one apartment to another, but certain items are often too large, awkward, heavy, or valuable to move without assistance. This new guide by Movers.com explores 10 of the most difficult items to move, and how to hire a professional moving crew to help.
More information about moving large items, hiring a local crew, and the full list of objects that should not be moved without assistance can be found at https://www.movers.com/moving-guides/10-things-you-should-not-move-yourself.html
There are many reasons why an object may be easier to move with professional help, and in some cases, items may even need special regulatory approval before they can be moved between states. The new guide explains how an expert moving crew can help, which objects may be easier to sell or leave behind, and how to find a mover for specialty items, such as backyard playgrounds.
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), lifting any weight greater than 51 pounds has the potential to cause or contribute to a back injury. However, professional moving crews often use special carrying methods, tools, and custom-made crates for valuable items to ensure that they can be transported safely.
In certain situations, such as when moving a piano, the guide highlights how a professional mover can prevent users from unintentionally breaking the law. There are regulations in place that make it illegal to move ivory between states unless the piano in question meets certain requirements to qualify as an antique.
The guide contains an entire section dedicated to aquatic pets, and how to move an aquarium safely. While the exact process can vary widely from one user to another, the expert also explains how to find a qualified professional who can handle the process, without harming the aquarium or the fish it carries.
Readers can also access a simple rate estimate tool in the full guide, which requires filling in one single form, to receive rate quotes from up to 7 local moving crews. These estimates are available with no cost or obligation and can be customized to a range of different moving services, from simple transportation to full-service packing and unpacking.
