The most difficult items to move long-distance

There are always some items that are more difficult to move than others. In order to have an easy relocation, you need to know which items you need to pay special attention to. Similar to the approach of hiring the best moving and storage companies, some research will be of immense value. Some of these items you can move on your own but for the most part, you may want to seek professionals to help you with them. This article is going to provide you with a list of those items and some recommendations for their handling.

What are the most difficult items to move?

These items will require some special handling/consideration:

• Large furniture items
• Fragile items
• Vehicles
• Aquariums
• Pianos

Large furniture items

Bulky furniture is always hard to transport. It is usually heavy and cannot be dismantled easily. You will need special tools and some experience in order to handle these items properly. If you are a senior, you can always hire senior movers to help you with these items as handling them on your own might not be the best idea. It is, however, possible to transport them on your own with the help of some friends or family members. The difficulty comes from their bulk and size and having more people helping will make it a lot easier.

Fragile items are the most difficult items to move

Fragile items need special care both when packing them and when in transport. If you want to move them on your own, you may want to browse the Master Moving Guide and find out the best ways to handle these items. But for the most part, you will want to wrap and pad them as much as possible and make sure that the boxes containing them are not able to move at all during transport.

Vehicles

In the case that you are unable to drive your vehicle to your new home, they become quite hard to transport. Depending on the size, it may actually be all but impossible for you to move them on your own. However, you can always hire a moving company to transport them. Or you can disassemble them, depending on the vehicle, and ship them in parts. Regardless of the option you choose, relocating these items is not exactly easy.

Aquariums

The problem with aquariums is that you need to know how to disassemble and store them while in transport. Not to mention that fish require special consideration, as well. Moving an aquarium is a delicate process that you will need to educate yourself on. It is far from impossible but it is definitely one of the harder pieces to move. Especially if you have a large and elaborate one.

Pianos

Finally, pianos are universally regarded as one of the most difficult items to move due to their size, weight, and fragility. There are even specialized moving companies that deal solely with piano transport. That should tell you something. If you want to move a piano on your own, you will need to do quite a bit of research.
