Moving heavy items incorrectly could risk someone getting hurt \u2013 not to mention damaging your prized dresser or sofa. To minimize these unnecessary mishaps, we\u2019ll run you through some important steps you can take.<br><br> You might be able to save money by not hiring a professional mover, but if you opt for the DIY approach, make sure you do it right. Following these simple but straightforward tips for moving furniture can make transporting big, awkward items easier and safer. From proper lifting techniques and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage-resources\/packing-moving-supplies\/\">packing supplies<\/a> to moving straps and everything else, we\u2019ll explain how to move furniture easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Prep for Moving Furniture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_01-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_01-1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_01-1-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_01-1-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_01-1-1-750x563.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Prep for moving the heavy stuff by moving boxes and other items out of the way. <br>Free Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/man-in-blue-crew-neck-t-shirt-sitting-on-chair-7464713\/\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re&nbsp;moving home&nbsp;or putting furniture into a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage\/self-storage\/\">storage unit<\/a>, it&#8217;s a good idea to write down what needs moving and when. This\nincludes listing an inventory of everything you need, from packing supplies to moving trucks, as this can help you break down how to pack your furniture for moving. This\nmay seem like an obvious step but taking your time and thinking through every\npart of the move is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill you need any help from friends to move your items? If so, note how\nmany. Think about potential difficulties or dangers \u2013 for example, if you are\nmoving heavy furniture, it could be too weighty to carry alone. We will show\nyou how to move heavy\nfurniture by yourself safely.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Examine entries and exits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKnowing where to enter and exit is crucial, this helps to efficiently\nroute the transportation path of your pieces of furniture. This is critical if\nyou want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/features-and-types\/how-to-protect-furniture-in-storage\/\">protect your furniture<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-life\/moving\/unbroken-how-to-protect-electronics-and-fragile-items-during-a-move\/\">fragile items<\/a>. This can include: \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Doing an entry and exit audit on more\nthan one room in case you need to carry your things through multiple rooms. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examining windows and doors to make use\nof all entry\/exit points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measuring each point of entry\/exit with a\ntape measure to see if your items will fit through. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you need to know how\nto move a couch by yourself, for example \u2013 taking these into account\nbeforehand can save you a lot of hassle.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Clear a path<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A smooth path to an exit allows for easy transportation. No matter what piece of furniture you are moving, obstacles are a health and safety matter. The last thing you want is to trip over and have an accident.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before moving any items, ensure that nothing stands in the way. Move other pieces of furniture to make space. Remember, clearing the physical pathway can also help clear your mind during a stressful move, making the entire process smoother and easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Moving aids for heavy items<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of tools you\ncan use to help you move furniture. Check out our list of useful items below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Furniture sliders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bubble wrap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lifting straps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hand truck<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Furniture dollies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plastic wrap<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moving blankets<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packing supplies<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moving straps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moving trucks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packing paper<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Packing tape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Slings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMoving large items can be tough. Consider a mattress, for example. What\nmay feel light and soft to lay on at night, is heavy and cumbersome if you\u2019re\nshifting it elsewhere. Moving a mattress is a two-person job, as you\u2019re moving something\nheavy and awkwardly shaped. We advise getting someone to help you with this.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When moving large and heavy items like a mattress, you\u2019ll need to make sure it&#8217;s secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a mattress sling can prevent it from flopping around and causing damage. These function as moving straps, helping to distribute the weight of the item evenly, making carrying much easier.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will find it easier to\nkeep your mattress steady when using a sling, which should make the process\nmuch simpler. Here\u2019s how to create one using a piece of rope:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First, make sure the rope is much longer\nthan the mattress you&#8217;re trying to move. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Next, secure the rope underneath the\nmattress.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, pull the rope out at each side to\ncreate handles. You\u2019ll hold one side while a friend takes the other. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dollies<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Furniture dollies are simple yet amazingly effective. They\u2019re often\njust a wooden rectangle on four wheels. Lift your heavy furniture and position\nit so the center-most flat surface is sitting on the dolly. This makes moving\nheavy items much simpler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\nUsing a furniture dolly is often a two-person job, with one steering in front\non the lookout for obstacles while the person at the back pushes. Take it easy\nand don\u2019t go too quickly \u2013 and be careful of gradients on the floor. Make sure\nyour item doesn\u2019t tip or roll away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sliders<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriction can cause problems when moving large items around. If you&#8217;re\nmoving heavy furniture on your own, furniture sliders are essential \u2013 not just\nfor ease of movement, but for your own health and safety, too. It\u2019s often a lot\neasier to push heavy furniture around than it is to lift it. <br><br>\nFurniture sliders are\nusually made of single part or multi-part plastic. When placed under each leg\nor corner of furniture, they help it glide across the floor, even on carpet.\nFurniture sliders create a mobile barrier between the furniture and the floor.\nThey also mitigate the risk of scrapes and damage to wood, tiles, or carpets. \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Straps<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lifting straps are also useful for lifting heavy furniture. They can help prevent you from hurting yourself by making lifting heavy or awkward objects easier.<br><br>The straps work like a pulley system, centering your weight and allowing you to use your muscle power more effectively. The simplest straps wrap around an object with handles or loops at either end to help you get a better grip. You can get braces for your:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Forearms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shoulders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Back<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Moving straps can help you move items by evenly distributing the\nweight, reducing strain on the body, and shortening the move time. Full back\nbraces are ideal for extra heavy items, especially if you want to avoid the\nrisk of injury. Home improvement and DIY stores, like Home Depot, usually stock\nthem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mce_0\"><strong>Find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/storage-locations\/\">Storage Near You<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Protect doorways and railings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With\nthe best will in the world, and even after following these tips, accidents can\nhappen. Doorways and railings are often the cause of damage when moving heavy\nfurniture. One slip or drop can result in scratches or ugly dents. To prevent\nthis, why not try: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Foam corners and doorway pads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Items around the home to cushion\npotential blows, such as blankets, furniture blankets, and mattress covers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removing the door and molding altogether.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For extra protection, you might want to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/your-life\/moving\/how-to-wrap-furniture-for-your-move\/\">wrapping your furniture<\/a> too. As well as the doors, you don\u2019t want to damage your furniture,\neither. With these methods, you can help protect both. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Remove parts to cut weight<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_02-1-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20832\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Can something be moved in pieces? Try taking apart large furniture if it includes multiple parts.<br>Free Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/NCrSU_offYg\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If there are parts of your large furniture you can remove, it\u2019s a\ngood idea to do so. Package them separately \u2013 it will make it easier to make\nyour way through doors and rooms. It\u2019s easy to disassemble things like table\nlegs, sofa cushions, and office chairs. Try looking up the instructions online\nfor further information on putting pieces together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When removing parts, just make sure to label them to avoid\nconfusion when you reassemble them later. Save any screws, nuts, and bolts in a\nplastic bag or container and attach them to their furniture pieces or label\nthem well. That way, you\u2019ll be able to reconstruct your furniture when you\narrive at your destination, without worrying about replacing a lost screw or\nattachment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Use the correct lifting technique<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_03-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_03-7.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_03-7-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_03-7-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cubesmart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/800X600_Blog04_03-7-750x563.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Don&#8217;t sweat the technique, but know about it. <br>Free Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/couple-moving-sofa-in-room-7217785\/\">Pexels<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This may seem like a no-brainer, but it\u2019s easy to forget when you&#8217;re stressed and want to finish the job quickly. This is one of the most overlooked tips for moving furniture but doing it correctly can make the process much safer.&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always lift with your legs by bending your knees and keeping your\nback straight. Pushing is better than lifting, and when carrying, keep the item\nclose to you and near your center of gravity. Here are a few more important tips\nto remember: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Two people can make large objects like\ndressers less awkward to handle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tall items are best carried high and low,\nat an angle. This centers the weight and stops it from swinging out of control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re carrying upstairs, your angle\nwill be at a similar one to the slope. Do it right and you reduce the risk of a\ntrip to the hospital with a bad back. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Find the right transportation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re moving furniture from one home to another, or into\nstorage, think about the vehicle you&#8217;re planning to use and if it&#8217;s big enough.\nMake sure there&#8217;s parking nearby and take measurements of the furniture you are\nmoving and of the vehicle you&#8217;re planning to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planning to move your furniture to a storage unit? It\u2019s a good idea to check if the storage facility has any partnerships with moving truck companies.
