How to Move Bulky Items

Moving Bulky Items?

Bulky Item MoversOne of the biggest challenges that people face when they are moving is getting their larger items from one location to the next. At All Around Moving & Storage, we know how frustrating it can be to move bulky items on your own. Here are some tips to make this task much easier

Shoes

Wear work shoes or gym shoes that have solid traction support on them. This will keep you from slipping while you are moving your large items and appliances. Regardless of how easy your move may seem, play it safe and wear a good pair of shoes to prevent injury.

Blankets and Sheets

Wrap your large items in blankets and sheets to protect them from damage and dirt during your move. In addition to wrapping your furniture up, you can place sheets and blankets on the floor to make it easier for you to slide your heavy furniture through the house, down the stairs, and onto the ramp to the moving truck.

Moving Straps, Dollies, and Forearm Forklifts

To move bulky items, invest in some moving straps, dollies, and forearm forklifts. It is highly recommended that you have the help of a friend when using them to prevent bodily injury. These items will allow you to move items such as bookcases, dressers, large appliances, and more. Moving straps and forearm lifts allow you to use your body’s strength and physics to your advantage. Dollies have wheels and secure items tightly to make moving wide items easier.
