Sacramento Movers Blog About Equipment That Should Be On The Moving Truck

SACRAMENTO, CA, September 22, 2012 (Press-News.org) In a recent blog post Sacramento Movers listed equipment items that are necessary for any move. If you are planning a do-it-yourself move, you may find yourself packing everything and getting the truck rented, meanwhile forgetting to buy, rent, or borrow from a friend, a few essential tools that should be included on the moving truck for your move day. When you hire professional moves, these tools often are already included on the truck. However if you rent a truck, you will need to procure these items separately.

Dollies, Hand Trucks, Carts and Straps
For large furniture pieces and appliances, make sure to have hand trucks or dollies available to roll a piece from the home into the truck. While moving large pieces, be sure to secure the item to the dolly using straps. Once your items have been loaded on to the truck, secure items in place using straps attached to the inside walls of the truck.

Furniture Blankets and Stretch Wrap
Furniture blankets also known as furniture pads or furniture quilts, can be rented or purchased from truck rental companies, moving companies, and some storage facilities. Furniture pads should be used to protect all your furniture items from being scratched, chipped, or damaged while being moved from point A to point B. Stretch wrap which is like an industrial saran wrap can also be purchased from movers or storage facilities. Once you've padded furniture items with furniture blankets, stretch wrap each piece to secure the padding to the piece. Items that are stretch wrapped will be less likely to be damaged since the adhesive quality prevents items from shifting around on the truck.
