Preparing for a Safe Move

Moving day brings stress and challenges unlike any other. You have to be prepared for all of the heavy lifting and to transport all of your worldly possessions if you are not hiring a moving company. Our team of movers has the best moving safety tips because of their years of experience.

Use Quality Moving Boxes

Make sure that every moving box you use for your belongings is sturdy enough to support the weight of everything you plan to pack inside of it. Before using any cardboard container, give it a thorough inspection, especially if you're using used moving boxes.

Be Prepared with Moving Supplies

Spending less on packing supplies just to save a few dollars is never a good idea because it nearly always backfires. Use enough packing paper and bubble wrap to adequately cover those breakables when packing so that they can be delivered to the new home safely.

Don't Overpack Your Boxes

Avoid making cardboard boxes too heavy while packing them with your belongings to ensure a safe house move. Generally speaking, a moving box shouldn't weigh more than 40 pounds. In fact, carrying cardboard containers that are heavier than that safety limit puts both the people carrying them and the contents inside them at risk.

Use Your Legs, Not Your Back

Always use your legs' strength when lifting anything that are heavy. Just bend at the knees, keep your back straight, and utilize your legs as a hoisting device since they are the strongest muscles in your body. Maintain a solid footing by keeping one foot slightly in front of the other and keeping your feet shoulder-width apart.
