TOOLS ON OUR TRUCKS

  1. Moving Straps: Moving straps, also known as lifting straps or shoulder straps, are used to secure heavy items to dollies or to help lift and carry them. They distribute weight more evenly across the body, reducing strain on the back and shoulders.

  2. Furniture Sliders: Furniture sliders are placed under heavy furniture items to help them glide smoothly across floors, reducing friction and making them easier to move.

  3. Furniture Dollies: These are different from the four-wheel dollies mentioned earlier. Furniture dollies are low-profile platforms with four swivel casters, designed specifically for moving heavy furniture items like sofas, tables, and dressers.

  4. Packing Supplies: Movers often use packing supplies such as moving boxes, bubble wrap, packing paper, and tape to protect items during transit. These supplies help prevent damage to fragile items and ensure that everything stays organized during the move.

  5. Hand Tools: Basic hand tools like screwdrivers, wrenches, and pliers are handy for disassembling furniture, removing doors, or taking apart appliances for easier transport.

  6. Utility Knife: A utility knife is useful for cutting packing tape, opening boxes, and trimming packing materials.

  7. Tarp or Moving Blankets: Tarps or moving blankets provide protection for furniture and other large items during transit, preventing scratches and dings.

  8. Furniture Pads or Cushions: These are placed between furniture pieces or between furniture and walls to prevent damage during transport.

  9. Ratchet Straps or Tie-Downs: These are used to secure items to the moving truck to prevent shifting during transit.

  10. Appliance Dollies: These specialized dollies are designed with straps or clamps to securely move large appliances like refrigerators, washers, and dryers.

Having the right tools can make the moving process much smoother and more efficient while also helping to protect both the movers and the items being moved.
