According to research from Movers Development, only 22.7% of home movers hired a full-service moving company in 2023. With many individuals now choosing to execute the move alone, planning for the movement of heavy furniture becomes crucial. “Moving heavy furniture is a complex task in itself and carrying it upstairs makes it even more challenging,” says Movers.com. “While professional movers can easily do such jobs in less time, you can also do it yourself once you know the proper technique and the kind of tools that can help with the maneuver.”
When planning and preparing for the move, readers are advised to measure both the furniture and staircase to ensure there is enough space to maneuver items upwards. This will help determine what angle the furniture needs to be tilted, and whether it needs to be positioned virtually or horizontally, says the guide.
Readers are reminded to remove any wall hangings or low-hanging lights in the stairwell to ensure that the area remains unobstructed. To protect the stairs and banister, Movers.com recommends utilizing equipment such as stair edge guards, moving blankets and floor runners.
Movers.com advises disassembling furniture where possible to make the move more manageable. This includes removing drawers and shelves, as well as separating any larger, detachable parts. Similarly, homeowners should reduce as much weight as possible by removing any contents, such as wardrobe clothes or sofa cushions.
The guide moves on to outline a number of moving tools that can be used to distribute the weight of particularly heavy furniture, including hand trucks and moving straps. Readers can find a detailed explanation of how to use each piece of equipment within the guide.
“If you have decided to carry your heavy furniture upstairs all by yourself, there is no reason to doubt yourself as long as you know what you are doing,” says Movers.com. “Make sure you have someone to help you out with the move and have access to moving tools that will help ease the process.”
