Moving heavy furniture yourself is a lot easier than you’re probably imagining, although it does often require a few specialized tools for the situation. To do this safely, prepare your path to make sure there are no obstacles, use furniture dollies or slides to scoot your furniture along, and set up a ramp to your truck to move heavy furniture by yourself. We’ll give you all of the tips and tricks you need to get your move done safely and quickly!
Disassemble large items and break items down into smaller pieces to make things easier.
Use a dolly, lifting straps, lifting gloves, and/or furniture sliders to make moving bulky and heavy furniture a breeze.
If you aren’t in complete control of an object when you start to move it, get help. It isn’t safe to move on your own.
If you are moving a dresser or desk, take out all of the drawers and set them aside. Unscrew the legs off of dressers, desks, bedframes, and tables. Take the leaves out of any tables.
Keep all the hardware in a labeled bag so you can assemble your furniture in its new home.
Wrap delicate furniture and items you can’t lift off of the ground entirely. This is also a good idea if the piece has sharp edges to prevent wall damage. Make sure the blanket covers all of the essential parts of your furniture that could get nicked during the moving process.
This is especially important if you need to go down any stairs. You can slide a wrapped table top down the steps for example, but if it’s unwrapped you’ll need to carry it all the way.
Keep obstacles out of the way and give yourself room to work.
Create a clear path for the furniture to avoid nicking things on your way out. If you hit obstacles along the way, you run the risk of damaging your furniture or even hurting yourself. Make sure you have an entirely clear path to move through that is wide enough for your widest piece of furniture and then some.
Slide furniture across carpet fast with plastic slides.
are small sheets of thin plastic that go underneath large pieces of furniture so you can slide them easily. Lift up one end of a dresser, armoire, or other large, sturdy piece of furniture and slide a furniture slide underneath all of the legs on one side. Slide another furniture slide underneath all of the legs on the other side. Push the top of the furniture piece or use the handles attached to the furniture slides to drag or push the piece of furniture on a carpeted surface.
If you push too hard on a tall piece of furniture, it could topple over. Try to push from the middle or the bottom area of the furniture to avoid accidents.
You may need to use more than 2 furniture slides for long pieces of furniture.
Put a small mat or rug underneath a piece of furniture for hardwood floors.
You can slide furniture along your hardwood floors without scratching them by placing a small mat or rug underneath your furniture. Alternatively, you can also use specialized
Either way, carefully lift one side of your furniture and set the mat, rug, or slide underneath as far as it will go. Then, lift the other side of the furniture to slide the mat or rug the rest of the way. Make sure it is underneath all of the legs of your furniture piece.
Do not use rugs or mats that have rubber pads on the bottom; they won’t slide along your floor.
Lean especially heavy items on a 2-wheel hand dolly.
if you’re using a ramp for a truck or you need to move heavy items alone. Gently slide the lip of the dolly underneath one side of the furniture as far as it will go. Slowly lean backward with the furniture until you can use the wheels of the dolly to
Never use a hand dolly on furniture items that are taller than chest height. They’re too much of a fall risk.
If you feel like you can’t safely get an item on a dolly or it feels unwieldy when you’re moving the dolly, stop. It’s not worth risking a disaster.
Do not use a dolly with stairs if you’re by yourself unless you’re
confident you have total control over the item.
Lifting straps make carrying clunky items a breeze.
spread the weight of your furniture and give you easy to use handles or straps to put on or carry. To use a 1-person lifting strap, slide the strap underneath the base of the furniture piece. Put the straps over your shoulders or into both hands. Then, carefully walk with your furniture piece.
Never try to carry furniture pieces that are tall or extremely heavy with a furniture strap.
If you feel the strap move while you’re carrying the item, set the item down and readjust the grip and strap.
This makes loading and unloading a lot easier.
If you are planning on
moving large furniture items into a moving truck,
put the largest and heaviest pieces in the back of the truck. Place the smaller items towards the front of the truck. This will balance the weight of the truck and make sure nothing topples over while you are driving.
This also makes loading a lot easier because you’re getting the tough stuff out of the way first. You’ll probably be tired by the time you unload, so you’ll get to
It may be helpful to move all of your furniture out in front of the truck before you pack it.
As you pack the truck, keep furniture safe by packing strategically.
The biggest risk for your furniture is how it shifts while your moving truck is in motion. To make sure your furniture stays safe, pack smaller, softer items in between your large pieces, like boxes, cushions, and pillows. Make sure that your tall items are secure.
