Safely Moving Large and Bulky Furniture Around Melbourne – A Helpful Guide

Moving large, awkward furniture presents unique challenges for Melbourne residents and requires special handling to avoid damage. When relocating bulky items like sofas, beds, dressers, pianos, cabinets, and more around Melbourne, follow these expert tips from Vanguy Pick-Up and Delivery Services for protecting your belongings and maneuvering tight spaces.

 

Use Furniture Pads and Wraps

Protect furniture surfaces from scrapes and dents by securing quilted pads and wraps around vulnerable areas. Wrap padded blankets around sofas, mattresses, and appliances. Use thick pads on the corners of dressers, desks, and cabinets. Cover pianos and other lacquered furniture with blankets.

Measure Doorways and Stairwells in Advance

Avoid moving day headaches by measuring the width of doorways, hallways, and stairwells at your pickup and delivery addresses in Melbourne. This allows you to determine the best route for carrying large items and if any furniture disassembly is required to fit through narrow openings.

Disassemble When Possible

Take apart furniture like beds, dressers, entertainment units, and dining sets into manageable components that are easier to maneuver through Melbourne properties. Label parts clearly for simple reassembly. Consult furniture manuals or ask the retailer for disassembly tips.

 

Use Straps and Dollies Securely

When lifting large furniture, use moving straps around the middle to share the load. Place dollies under one end to roll bulky items. Make sure straps are tight and dollies locked to keep furniture stable in transit around Melbourne’s suburbs. Go slowly.

Watch for Low Ceilings and Overhangs

Look out for low ceilings, hanging lights, ceiling fans, and door overhangs that could impact fitting tall furniture through internal spaces. Take extra precautions near stairways. A furniture dolly helps pivot and angle bulky items to clear obstacles.
