How to move heavy items

If you have large heavy items that need moving to a new home or business location, it’s important to use a removal company with an experienced team and all the resources required to move heavy or large goods.

You could hire a van and move everything yourself, but without specialist heavy item moving experience and equipment, you risk injuring yourself. It’s better and safer to leave it to the experts.

To get a quote for the move, an onsite consultation may be required, or alternately, a quote can be based on photos or videos of the items. The removals company may need to do a risk assessment which will also determine how many of the removals team are required to safely carry items.

Before moving day, it’s important to provide the moving company with full specifications of the items so that they arrive fully prepared with the right lifting equipment. To make moving easier, large furniture or gym equipment can be disassembled.

Fragile items such as pianos or art will need padding or blankets to protect them during transit. Delicate items may require specialist packing materials. Large items need securing with straps in the moving van.
