How To Prevent International Transport From Damaging Your Furniture

If you are settling to another land, you would most likely want to take some of your precious furniture with you, even if you consider yourself a minimalist. Just think: you don't have any intention to leave behind that 100-year-old armoire, do you? It has a special place in your life.

To be certain that your pieces don't get damaged during the transportation, you need to pack them correctly. Disassembling them, putting them inside reinforced boxes, and putting padding material on the items considerably lessen the chances of it being marred during the transport. But take note of one thing when it comes to international removals: your furniture should be loaded into the mover's truck properly. Proper positioning increases the safety of your furniture and that of the driver.

1. Place the big and heavy furniture and appliances first. Arrange them at the back of the truck near the cab. This puts most of the weight closer to the front, stabilizing the truck. Do not leave these pieces upside down or on their sides. Arrange them in their proper, right-side-up position.

2. Make sure that the vehicle is balanced. If there is a heavy piece resting on one side wall, there must be another heavy piece of comparable weight on the opposite wall. This way, the arrangement prevents the vehicle from tipping to the heavy side if the truck maneuvers around a sharp curve the drive. Secure the furniture with a strap or rope.

3. Next, load the mattress, making sure that they are in the upright position to conserve space. Ensure too that the bed frames are disassembled. Pack the frames and the hardware together so you won't have a difficult time assembling the bed back together when it reaches your new home.

4. Load medium-sized furniture such as tables, sofas, and chests thereafter. Use the cushions of your sofa to protect other furniture pieces.

5. Lastly, put in light furniture such as the side tables and chairs. Arrange them on top of the sofas or any cushioned items for additional protection.
