Answer:
Wouldn’t it be great if every time you moved you had professional help to get the job done quickly and easily? While it may be the ideal, it’s likely that there will come a time when you find yourself moving without any assistance from the pros—and that includes having to move heavy furniture by yourself.
Now, keep in mind that moving heavy furniture by yourself doesn’t mean you are actually completely on your own—just that you don’t have professional movers helping you out. One person isn’t going to be able to carry a couch up or down stairs, or load up a moving truck with the entire contents of their home, heavy items included. But the differences between having help from a moving company and doing a DIY move with your partner, friends, or family are pretty stark, and you’re going to want to have a plan in place for when it comes time to move heavy furniture out of your old home and in to your new one.
For our purposes, let’s assume that you’re not a body builder or otherwise expertly fit for hauling heavy loads (if you were, you probably wouldn’t be here reading this), and let’s get in to the nitty-gritty of how to move heavy furniture without the pros by your side.
Assess and make a plan
When it comes to moving heavy furniture, the goal is to be as efficient as possible. Take an inventory of every heavy item that needs to get on to the moving truck and then figure out what needs to be loaded when, and where. In general, heavy items go toward the back of the truck bed and around the sides to help balance the load and keep all of your belongings safe. That means you’ll likely be doing the heavy lifting right in the beginning, and then filling in gaps with lighter boxes and smaller items of furniture.
Prioritize the order that you’ll tackle each piece of furniture, noting again that the biggest and heaviest items go on first. Although creating a plan of attack may seem like just one more step in an endless to do list, it will save you the time and effort it would take later on to rearrange all that heavy furniture on the truck.
Gather your equipment
You’re not the first one to have to figure out how to move heavy furniture by yourself, and that’s good news because it means there are some great innovations out there for DIY movers. These items can be purchased or rented, so decide if you’re only going to use them once or if you might like them for future moves.
Here’s what you’ll need to move heavy furniture by yourself:
Moving straps. Also called “lifting straps” or “furniture straps,” these handy devices work to transfer some of the weight off of your back and arms when you’re lifting a heavy item so that it is significantly easier to manage. They’re
