Handle With Caution: 3 Items That Are Frequently Damaged While Moving Brisbane to Sydney

 

While Moving Brisbane to Sydney , Pack your plates, glasses, and bowls with extreme caution to keep these items safe. You could even get custom boxes from your best interstate mover and surround monitors and speakers with more bubble wrap than a standard box could hold.

Some pieces, however, may surprise you with their fragility. What appears to be as strong and durable as stone can easily dent, chip, crack, and warp during transportation. The following items, in particular, take the most damage during a typical move.

 

1.       Heavy Furniture

Your living room sofa appears to be large enough to withstand a tornado without moving, and its soft, plush pillows appear to be more than capable of absorbing any blows during a move. However, despite its size and built-in cushions, your couch could easily lose a foot or crack an arm when pushed through a narrow doorframe.

 

If possible, remove any smaller parts prior to your move (such as detachable legs, loose pillows or covers). Then, carefully wrap any exposed edges, feet, or corners in bubble wrap or blankets. Clear a path from your furniture to the door, and if necessary, remove the door from its hinges to allow for more manoeuvring space.

 

Because the majority of accidents occur when people attempt to move too much on their own, make sure you have plenty of help lifting and transporting your couch or other particularly large pieces. You should also encourage your team to use proper lifting and moving techniques.

 

2. Sporting Supplies

 

Typical sporting equipment will protect you during play, and most items can withstand a hit without even a scratch. A hockey helmet, for example, can withstand a puck travelling at speeds approaching 160 km/h. Your golf clubs can hit a golf ball with forces up to 1,814 kg.

 

Unfortunately, neither your helmet nor your golf clubs will fare well if they are tossed carelessly in the back of a moving truck or stuffed next to a 190 kg armoire. Similarly, if your ski boots, tennis racquets, lacrosse stick, or cricket bat are not properly packed, they may crack, crumple, warp, or shatter.

 

For your personal equipment, always use the original sports bags, pouches, and carrying cases. If you don't have any official bags for loose baseballs, footballs, or tennis balls, stuff them in a thick pillowcase to keep them from rolling around during the move. Place your

sporting equipment in a separate plastic storage bin once everything is in its respective case for extra protection.

3.       Washing Machine and Dryer

Your average washer and dryer are made primarily of strong, durable steel, making them appear invincible in comparison to your other appliances. A plunger can effectively remove any small dings your washer and dryer may have sustained during the move, and if necessary, a flat-ended hammer can be used to bang out stubborn dents.

 

However, dents aren't the only thing to be concerned about when moving your washer or dryer. If you do not secure the drum, the bumping and jostling of travel may cause a misalignment, rendering your machine useless. Furthermore, if you do not properly drain your machine, water may enter the electrical components.

 

Hire a Brisbane to Sydney Removalists to disconnect your appliances and pull them away from the wall before moving. To prevent mould and mildew growth, thoroughly clean your machines and allow them to dry for at least 24 hours. Pad each unit with a blanket or cotton sheet after securing the drum (do not use a plastic tarp, as this can restrict air flow).

 

To avoid damage, hire professional movers.

You can avoid accidents that would otherwise damage your belongings if you follow these tips. Many of these items, however, would be best handled by a professional removalist rather than your friends or neighbours. Hire  Interstate Brisbane to Sydney Removalists team to pack and transport your heavy, bulky, and delicate items for you to keep them in pristine condition.
