5 Pieces of Equipment Professional Movers Use

Are you planning to move your office or home to a new location? Well then, is grabbing the keys to your best friend’s big truck your idea of moving? If you answer “yes,” then be prepared to work a lot and gather an army of people to manage your move.

Relocation involves moving heavy furniture pieces from one place to the other. Furthermore, these heavy and bulky furniture pieces need to be loaded into a truck and then again unloaded at a new site. In many cases, furniture has to be moved through several flights of stairs. In such cases, equipment and tools aid professional movers and packers.

The reason why professional movers and packers in Dubai can do their work quickly and efficiently in a given time frame is that they use different types of equipment and tools. By using different equipment and tools, movers and packers don’t only save their time but ensure the safety of your furniture and their employees.

Let us check out five essential pieces of equipment that every professional mover and packer carries with them:

1. Truck

It is obvious that a moving company will have a truck. But the trucks that professional movers and packers in Dubai like Kingdom International Movers own are specifically designed to move. Trying to do relocation with an ordinary truck can become a very difficult task.

The trucks of professional movers are specially made and fitted with the necessary equipment to aid in the loading of big and bulky pieces such as pianos and king-sized beds. The truck is the most important piece of equipment for a professional mover.

We at Kingdom International Movers own different types of trucks in our fleet. We have tractor-trailers, cube trucks, and straight trucks to move a house or office of any size. Our tractor trailers also come in different sizes. Tractor-trailers are mostly used for relocating and moving premises of a larger size.

2. Tool Kits, And Tool Boxes

If you wonder if professional movers are magicians that move your big furniture pieces with ease, then you are right. We do the magic, using our tools. If your villa or office consists of fixed furniture like a bed and cabinets, and you want to carry all of them with you, Then the villa movers and packers in Dubai hired by you will need to use several different tools to unscrew the fixed furniture. Moreover, sometimes the furniture is so bulky that door frames or window frames need to be opened up to move it in or out. In such cases, professional movers find the toolbox handy and can easily do the required work.

3. Pallet Jack

The big and bulky wardrobe or safe you own weighs so heavily that it will be difficult for any human being to carry it and load it on the truck. Professional movers will use a pallet jack to load heavy objects into a truck at such times. Most trucks come fitted with these pallet jacks. Some older versions of the truck may not be equipped with pallet jacks. In such cases, a professional mover buys a separate pallet jack and then equips it to lift heavy objects.

Pallet jacks are especially useful when you are relocating an office or industrial establishment of yours because both of these spaces have a lot of heavy equipment and machinery. When you hire professional office movers and packers in Dubai to manage your industrial relocation, they will come with pallet jacks that will easily do the lifting job and save you time.

A pallet jack is a costly piece of equipment and, hence, it cannot be easily rented or bought. If you have a lot of heavy equipment to move, then consider hiring professional packers and movers like Kingdom International Movers to make your move an effortless journey.

4. Four-Wheel Dolly, Crates, And Bins

If you thought the only nuisance associated with relocating was moving big items, then you are very wrong. Agreed, heavy equipment is tough to carry and the chances of getting injured are higher. But carrying small objects is equally taxing and extremely time-consuming. How many small boxes can a human carry at a time? Two, maybe three at max. Now imagine the moving content of a big office that is spread over thousands of square feet. Employees of the moving company will have to make endless trips to load the truck with these small boxes.

To avoid tiring our staff and to get work done efficiently, Kingdom International Movers uses different types of crates and bins. These crates and bins are filled with several small boxes in them; the crates and bins are then loaded on a four-wheeled dolly and driven up to the loading truck. Depending upon the size of the dolly, either by using a hand or by using a pallet jack, the crates and bins are then loaded on the moving truck. Using such equipment allows moving companies in Dubai to make sure that the belongings of their clients reach them safely and also their employees stay safe while doing such risky jobs.

5. Moving Straps and Hoisting Straps

Different types of moving and hoisting straps are equipped by professional movers to secure moving furniture pieces and boxes inside a moving truck. When we try to move volumetric and large pieces such as mattresses out of the house and they refuse to pass through narrow doors, we use the hoisting straps to lift such pieces. Our crew will wrap the mattress or any of those objects and hoist them through the window using their strength and hoist. Our employees have gone as far as three and four stories to get objects.
