Moving to a new place of residence is associated with the transportation of all property, including the transportation of furniture. This is a serious and multifaceted process, which requires long and careful preparation so that the transportation of furniture and things is quick and successful, and the property arrives at the destination intact, undamaged, ready for further use. Independent preparation of international transportation of furniture, its packing and collection of documents is time-consuming and does not always have a positive result. Therefore, it is better to entrust its organization to professionals, since high-quality development of logistics helps to keep the property in perfect condition and minimize costs.

Features of furniture transportation

If you have decided to move your apartment internationally and want to feel at home in your new place, you cannot do without transporting your furniture. It is very important to consider the weight and dimensions when transporting furniture, as they have a decisive influence on the choice of transport and packaging methods. It is also necessary to consider whether the existing furniture can be disassembled for transportation or whether it will have to be transported in the form in which it is used. A smart decision would be to count the number of furniture items in order to correctly estimate the amount of transport required for international transportation of furniture, since it is the most bulky cargo. At the preparation stage, you will need:

disassemble the sofa, cabinets, tables, chairs, beds for transportation to simplify packing and transportation;
remove removable mechanisms and take out the internal contents if the furniture cannot be disassembled, to further eliminate possible damage;
use pads for corners and legs;
stack the furniture, stools in a row, put tabletops on top of each other;
unscrew handles and other fittings to save space and prevent damage.

During an international apartment move, all small components of the furniture to be dismantled are packed in marked bags, larger parts in very thick paper or boxes. The furniture is also pre-packed in bubble wrap. To protect it from damage, foam plastic or corrugated cardboard is used.
Intercity cargo transportation of furniture of any size and weight, as well as transportation to other countries, is usually carried out by specialized vehicles with various load capacities from 1.5 tons to 22 tons and volumes from 16 m3 to 120 m3. It allows you to transport furniture in proper condition due to fixation with special belts inside the van. The van is usually lined with felt or other soft material on the inside to prevent the furniture from rubbing against its walls.
The best alternative to international road transport is transporting furniture in a container. This method has many advantages, such as reduced loading and unloading time, better protection of furniture during transportation, simplified customs procedures, and ease of identification.
