Confused About How to Move Specialty Items?

The time has come to move. As you consider moving companies, you might be wondering about the steps involved in transporting large, expensive, awkward items like pianos, aquariums, and even house plants. When it comes to moving specialty items, it is important to ask the moving companies you are considering if they offer specialty moving services.

Our experienced and professional team at Titan Movers understands how stressful moving can be. It's not easy to pack up years of belongings and know exactly how to relocate them while avoiding damage or injury. To help ease your mind, we have put together a few moving tips that will help you when dealing with specialty items.

What are Specialty Items?

First and foremost, it is important to understand how moving companies define specialty items. Simply put, specialty items are any objects that require special care when packing and moving. These items can be fragile, awkward, large, heavy, or expensive.

Common specialty items include hot tubs, pianos, washer/dryers, grandfather clocks, oversized mirrors, animal cages, fine art, etc. Each item needs to be cared for in its own way and requires specialized handling and instructions. 

What do I Need to Prepare Before Movers Move My Specialty Items?

Once you have secured your mover's specialty services and are wondering how to prepare your specialty items, it is important to note that each item requires specialized preparation. Carefully wrap things like mirrors and art pieces in layers of protective bubble wrap or packing paper. Ensure that all corners are covered with styrofoam and placed in durable boxes. 

When preparing plants, make sure they are watered and kept out of boxes or crates. Animal habitats will likely require climate-controlled transportation during the move. Specialty items should have a sticker or label placed on them to clearly identify that they should be handled with care.

If you are unsure how to prepare a specialty item, call the moving company and ask for advice on how you should properly prepare the item for transport. Some moving companies may prepare many of your specialty items for you.

Why Do I Need Specialty Item Movers?

There are many benefits to hiring specialty item movers. Professional movers are highly trained and equipped with the proper equipment and tools to safely and efficiently move your specialty items. 

They have appropriate training on storing specific items and understand details like climate and protection. They are even available to assist with disassembling and reassembling specialty items.

Hiring professionals also protects your safety. Moving heavy items can be dangerous when done incorrectly without the proper moving equipment. Professional movers can move the bulkiest, most complex items and get them to their new location without any damage to you or your belongings.

Last but not least, specialty movers take the guesswork and stress out of moving your most fragile, oversized items. To ensure your move goes smoothly without any stress, put your trust in a highly rated moving company and leave the work to the professionals.
