Is Gym Equipment Really THAT Difficult to Move?

Seems like a silly question, right? Wrong.

When you try to relocate a heavy piece of exercise equipment—say you received a treadmill for Christmas--and you miss your grip and it tumbles to the ground, that treadmill isn't going to be uncostly to repair. You have got a lot invested in your gym equipment, so working with a moving company in Little Rock to take things apart and move them using best practices is well worth what you'll spend on professional assistance.

Art and also Antiques

Should you have any fine art or perhaps antiques, it's a wise idea to have them professionally packed and transported. A moving company in Little Rock has the right tools and also know-how to build custom crates and cartons for strangely shaped things like big mirrors, sculptures, paintings, and the like.

It Ain't Heavy, It's Just a Sleeper Sofa

Okay, you're thinking, I have a truck with a ramp, some hand trucks, and a lot of blankets and also packing tape, and my friends are in decent shape. We can get this done, easy peasy. Of course, you can. But is it seriously a good idea?

Moving that sofa to the other side of the room is one thing. Move it out of your home, down the driveway and into the moving truck is a whole different chore, and unless it's a straight flat line from starting point to end point, you’ll need to be prepared to “pivot” a couple times. Multiply that couch by chairs, tables, mattresses, other couches, and a lawn mower, and that is not worth a cold beer and a pizza.

Moving to The Music

And finally there is the dreaded piano--are you okay moving that? Even an upright weighs about 300 pounds, and a baby grand can be over 1000 pounds. There is nearly 18 tons of pressure on the strings--and one can break in a second if you do not know what you're doing. And also the scrapes on a hardwood floor—you must lift it up onto casters or even a piano dolly, so you do not leave deep scratches in the wood.

String instruments are additionally breakable and need to be moved in their cases. If you do not have the case, a professional mover in Little Rock can fashion a crate for the instrument, and then, they will understand a safe spot to place it on the moving van.

Understanding how to pack the truck is an art form, and you will want leave all your awkward, fragile, as well as special things to the professional movers in Little Rock. However, feel free to pack your own socks.
