Our customers are often surprised at the ease with which our furniture movers can handle heavy items. This is because their years of experience have resulted in muscle development in the arms and upper body. The forearms in particular become very strong and movers typically have a very strong grip.
However we also subscribe to the belief that it is better to work smart than to work hard, so wherever possible we use upright (appliance) dollies or flat four wheel dollies. The upright dollies are needed for negotiating stairs while the flat dollies are handy for traversing areas where long walks are involved, as is commonly found in apartment complexes. These tools are brought to every move performed by Elephant Moving Company in Los Angeles CA. Additionally, your furniture, desks, tables and beds in particular, may require disassembly and reassembly to get it out and into your new residence or office. We bring the tools necessary to perform these tasks. If you are contacting other furniture moving companies in LA, be sure to inquire as to the moving equipment they will bring. Be sure your furniture moving company in LA is equipped for your particular situation.
Padding alone will not prevent damage to some items, which can be damaged if their weight is not distributed properly; which is why our furniture movers make sure to handle your items prone to breaking properly. Any heavy item which is constructed with particle board is also prone to breaking if handled improperly. Particle board, although heavy, is structurally weak. Sections of it are generally joined together with screws or dowels and these joints will break apart if stressed. Unfortunately, due to the high cost of real wood, the majority of furniture of recent manufacture is made from particle board. This is not readily apparent, as veneers are employed to give the appearance of wood.
At the other end of the spectrum are old or antique wood items. Old wood can shrink or crack and glue joints have become brittle and weak. The stress of moving them can result in damage if extra care is not taken. This is why Elephant Moving only employs experienced workmen who are aware of the weaknesses of certain kinds of furniture and know what precautions to take to move them safely. This allows us to be a premier furniture moving company in Los Angeles.
Is piano moving among your needs in a furniture moving company in Los Angeles? Elephant Moving Company has moved hundreds of pianos. With grand pianos we remove the legs and other parts, and stand the body upright on a piano board. Then the piano is thoroughly wrapped and strapped to the piano board. That is placed on a flat dolly and the piano is rolled out. We routinely move pianos except for situations where a difficult staircase is encountered, or where the piano is one of the old upright variety which can exceed 600 pounds. We then recommend a specialized piano mover.
Frequently our movers are required to maneuver furniture around corners, remove doors or windows, or perform hoisting. In our many years of experience we have encountered these situations many times.
Perhaps the most difficult task performed by your movers is loading all items on the moving truck in a manner which efficiently utilizes all the space, so extra trips are not necessary, while seeing to it that the weight is distributed so that all fragile items are placed out of harm's way. Also, the entire load must be arranged and tied to prevent any movement during transit. Performing all these tasks simultaneously requires exceptional skill.
