Effective protection begins before loading and depends on the object’s material, weight and route to the truck.
Only dismantle what helps
Remove legs, shelves and doors when this makes access easier. Photograph complex assemblies and keep hardware in clearly labelled bags.
Match protection to the material
Blankets protect wood and painted surfaces. Reinforced cardboard helps protect corners and glass. Wrap dishes individually and fill empty spaces in boxes.
- Blankets for furniture and appliances
- Corner protection for tables and frames
- Compartment boxes for glasses
- Straps to stabilize the load
Protect the home too
Floors, railings and door frames see repeated traffic during a move. Clear the route before the crew arrives to reduce risk.
