HOME MOVING TIPS
- Flammables. All items that
are flammable or explosive must be transported by
the customer and cannot be placed in the moving van.
Some examples are: aerosol cans, propane tanks, thinners,
gasoline, etc.
- Engines. Gasoline engines must be emptied
(i.e. lawn movers).
- Garden hoses should be drained and the ends
connected together. Place hose in empty trash container
to avoid leakage.
- Dressers. Chest of drawers and dressers can
be moved with the drawers full. Any items that could
spill, break or move around should be removed. Some
examples are: perfume, cologne, jewelry, coins, pens,
pencils, paper clips, glass items.
- Live plants are considered to be perishable
items. We can move them, but cannot take responsibility
for their condition at destination.
- Outdoor items made of concrete, cement, or
plaster can be moved but we cannot take responsibility
for these items. Changes in weather causes external
and internal cracks that can cause breaks and/or
crumbling
- Guns and/or ammunition cannot be transported.
- Refrigerators and freezers should be emptied
prior to the time of the move.
- Computers and electronic equipment should
be disconnected and be ready to move prior to loading.
Small electronic components should be boxed.
OFFICE MOVING TIPS
- Labeling . Everything should
be labeled, no matter how small or inconsequential.
When a desk has a removable return, both pieces
must be tagged.
- Tagging . Bundles of computer
cables, floor mats, white boards, trash cans, typewriters,
individual computer components and peripherals,
etc. must all be individually tagged.
- Tag items in locations that are easy for
the mover to spot. Examples;
Chairs on the back rest
Desks, tables and credenzas on the top of
work surfaces
Bookcases on the top
Storage cabinets and file cabinets on the
front top
Boxes on the ends - not on top or bottom
- Contents . Empty completely
the contents of the following articles:
Desks
Table drawers
Credenzas - shelving
Storage cabinets
Bookcases
- Filing Cabinets . Do NOT
empty vertical (the narrow type) file cabinets
- these will be moved full. Empty all lateral (the
wide type) file cabinets.
- Connections. All mechanical
and electrical disconnections must be made prior
to the time of the move.
- Personnel. Do NOT have a
lot of extra personnel at your facilities on moving
day. They will only get in the way of the movers.
- Leased Equipment. Do NOT
move photocopiers with toner installed inside. You
must notify all service or lease agents that you
are moving the photocopier or computer equipment
that is under contract.
- Building Access. Arrange
to provide the movers with clear, direct and exclusive
access to entrances, work areas and any required
elevators at the origin and destination facilities.
