When relocating within Melbourne or its surrounding suburbs, your furniture is often the most valuable part of your move. At Moving Victoria, we understand that every piece, from lounge suites and beds to antique items and office desks, needs to be handled with precision and care. Our professional movers follow strict protection methods to ensure your belongings arrive safely at their new destination. This blog explains how expert movers safeguard your furniture during local moves and why choosing a trusted company like Moving Victoria makes a major difference.
1. Pre-Move Assessment and Planning
Before any move begins, our team conducts a detailed assessment of your furniture, identifying fragile or heavy items, checking disassembled pieces, noting delicate materials, and planning the safest loading and unloading strategy. This reduces risk and ensures a smooth relocation.
2. Use of High-Quality Packing Materials
At Moving Victoria, we use premium-grade supplies to protect your furniture, including moving blankets, bubble wrap, shrink wrap, furniture pads, corner guards, and sofa or mattress covers. These materials prevent scratches, dents, moisture, and dust damage.
3. Expert Furniture Wrapping Techniques
Our movers use industry-approved wrapping methods such as double-layer protection for fragile items, plastic wrapping for dust prevention, corner padding, and securing loose parts like doors or drawers. Proper wrapping is essential for preventing accidental damage.
4. Safe and Skilled Lifting
Moving Victoria’s team uses safe lifting practices, including team lifting, trolleys, straps, and controlled lifting movements. We never drag or slide furniture, ensuring both your belongings and floors remain protected.
5. Disassembly and Reassembly When Needed
For large or complex pieces, our movers disassemble items to avoid damage during transport. We pack hardware in labeled bags and reassemble everything correctly at your new location, ensuring structural integrity and convenience.
6. Secure Loading Inside the Moving Truck
We follow a strict loading system, heavy items on the bottom, delicate items upright with padding, no empty gaps, and tie-down straps for stability. Proper truck loading prevents shifting and protects your furniture throughout the move.
7. Weather and Floor Protection
Melbourne weather can be unpredictable, so we keep furniture covered during rain and ensure floors are protected using ramps, mats, or carpet protectors. This preserves both your property and your belongings.
8. Careful Unloading and Placement
Upon arrival, our team unloads each item carefully, uses trolleys and sliders, follows your instructions for placement, and reassembles furniture if required. We also inspect items before unwrapping to ensure everything is in perfect condition.
