We have all seen the tips and the methods for relocating heavy objects. Of course, it looks easy to read about it or see a video on the internet. In fact, some of it seems enticing enough to make us try.
Only when we actually get down to work and try to do it on our own do we see the difficulties and the exhaustive work that accompanies it. Only a few can handle the whole relocation work all on their own – without any help from friends, families and most of all, removalists.
It is okay to spend time trying out the DIY relocation ideas before spending money on hiring a removals company. It is fine when you try the DIY packing tips for packing your clothes in polythene covers or use that new method of labelling the boxes. But as the level of difficulty increases enough to threaten our safety or the safety of anyone near us, then this is where we need to draw the line.
One important area where you need to properly consider before going the DIY way is relocating the heavy objects. Here are a few things that you need to definitely consider before going around and relocating heavy objects all on your own.
1. Understand the Risks Involved
It may look like a small wooden tea table to you which may even seem of normal weight when lifted for a second. But when you carry around a normal weight through a flight of stairs and down to the truck, then it automatically becomes more and more difficult.
If this is the case for a tea table, then think about the other bigger furniture in your house. Maybe you have an eight-member antique dining table or a heavy piano.
There are high chances that you may pull your back, drop the heavy object on your leg or anyone else standing near you, or pull any muscles. Anything could happen when you are carrying around a heavy object and it is best to understand the risks involved in it. moving house requires expertise so think twice before doing anything
Even if you are ready for furniture removal after understanding the risks, it is important to clear out the way you will take, ensure that everybody stays out of the path and take enough rest to let your body re-energize in between your work. Have a first aid kit in your home for any problem that may need immediate attention.
2. Know the Limits
If you are used to lifting a lot of weights in the gym, then this can seem simple to you. But it is important not to overjudge yourself or overjudge your ability. You must where your limit ends and where you need to stop.
Keep in mind the consequences of pushing yourself over and away from your limits which can end in damaging your body.
Also, it generally takes two people to move the heavy objects and therefore, know the limits of the other person too. If you see them getting tired or feeling a little white, then take a break and allow them to cool off. Don’t try to overexert them to pick just that small table one last time. When the other person says they need a break, respect their wishes and give them enough time to recuperate. When they say that they can’t do it, anyone respects their decision because nobody knows their body better than themselves.
3. When to Make the Right Call
