Transporting large items with interstate removalists

Moving interstate is a huge task and needs to be well thought out and planned, as you can’t just turn around and return like you could if you were moving two blocks away. It is a long trip, and forgetting anything is a big problem. You want to make sure you are fully prepared; you have a list of everything the removalist truck is transporting and a list of everything that you are transporting. Do not rush moving; start packing months early, sell belongings you no longer need, and donate anything you can. Doing this makes it much easier when travelling hundreds of kilometres. Total care mover, Adelaide removalists, do know how to move it!

 

You might be thinking, Sure, I did all that, but I still have a fridge, freezer, washing machine, beds, and couches, among other large items. This is where you need interstate movers. Interstate removalists Adelaide can help you move anything from your current home to your new home stress-free. Here are some tips on specific items for interstate removal.

 

Furniture is one of the most significant and bulkiest items to transport when moving interstate. The best thing you can do is unscrew your desks and put all the screws and pieces into a bag or container labelled desk. It might also be a good idea to note how something comes apart and gets put back together. Otherwise, you might end up with a flat pack and no instructions.

 

The same theory applies to any other large table or wooden furniture. Interstate removalists are very happy to pack the truck themselves; taking apart these more oversized items allows them to fill in your furniture without having it move around while driving and saves space for other things, making the most of the truck’s length.

 

When moving interstate, interstate removalists highly recommend reading your washing machine and dryer instructions in preparation for moving. You will need to check your washing machine barrel so it doesn’t get damaged or unbalanced during the move. The same goes for your dryer; ensure the barrel is correctly secured and all water is drained from both machines.

 

Fridges and freezers are one of the most delicate items to move. You must be aware of all your food items in the refrigerator; throw out whatever is outdated or won’t keep well in an eski or refrigerated bag. When moving your fridge, think about a week and a half in advance to restrict the amount of groceries you buy. The more you buy, the more you have to move. Plan your meals and treat yourself to takeout for the last few nights; you have earned it, right? It is best to have your fridge empty, completely clean, and turned off to allow any germs to die and gas to settle.

 

Freezers are a little more tricky; if you have a full freezer with lots of ice buildup, you can avoid emptying and cleaning it. Some trucks and SUVs will have adapters to keep your freezer plugged in while you transport it. Otherwise, if you have a small freezer, the chance of everything staying frozen and under safe food regulations is slim. It might be best to use up what you can before moving interstate or putting the contents into a giant freezer if you have one. Once your small freezer is empty, you can clean it thoroughly and turn it off in preparation for your interstate removalists to pack it away in the moving truck.
