Welcome to our moving tips page! Trinity Moving can specialize in whatever move you may have to offer us. Here are a few tips to help you on your way to your next move:

What Information Should You Give The Movers?

The more information you give the movers the smoother the move will go. Don't forget to give them information on the destination:

• Can the truck park legally on the street?
• How high is the loading zone's ceiling, can the truck go through?
• How big are the elevators, how narrow are the hallways, how many flights of stairs?
• How far is the closest access from the truck?

Difficulties with your furniture that you experienced in a prior move:

• Furniture that doesn't fit in elevators
• Non boxed large televisions
• Unusually heavy glass or marble furniture

HOUSEHOLD MOVING TIPS

• All items that are flammable or explosive must be transported by the customer. Some examples are: aerosol cans, propane tanks, paints, paint thinner, gasoline, etc.
• Gasoline engines must be emptied (i.e. lawn mowers).
• Garden hoses should be drained and the ends connected together. Place hose in empty trash container to avoid leakage.
• Chest of drawers and dressers will not be moved with drawers full. All items that could spill break or move around should be removed. Some examples are: perfume, cologne, jewelry, coins, pens, pencils, paper clips, etc.
• All items permanently affixed to walls or ceilings must be taken down by the customer or a third party service.
• Live plants are considered to be perishable items. We can move them, but cannot take responsibility for their condition at the destination.
• Outside items, made of concrete, cement, and/or plaster, can be moved. We cannot take responsibility for these items. Changes in weather causes external and internal cracks that can cause breaks and/or crumbling.
• Guns and/or ammunition cannot be transported by any moving company.
• Refrigerators and freezers should be emptied prior to the time of the move.
• Computers and electronics equipment should be disconnected and be ready to move prior to the time of loading.
• Try to get rid of any unwanted items before moving.

OFFICE MOVING TIPS

• Everything should be labeled, no matter how small or inconsequential. When a desk has a removable return, both pieces must be tagged. Bundles of computer cables, floor mats, white boards, trash cans, typewriters, individual computer components and peripherals, etc....must all be individually tagged.
• Tag items in locations that are easy for the mover to spot. For example, tag...

• Chairs on the back rest
• Desks, tables and credenzas on the top of work surfaces
• Bookcases on the top
• Storage cabinets and file cabinets on the front top
• tag (write on) boxes on the ends - not on top or bottom

• Completely empty the contents of the following articles:

• Desks
• Table drawers
• Credenzas - Shelving
• Storage cabinets
• Bookcases

• Do NOT empty vertical (the narrow type) file cabinets - these will be moved full.
• Empty all lateral (the wide type) file cabinets.
• All mechanical and electrical disconnections must be made prior to the time of the move.
• Do NOT have a lot of extra personnel in your facilities on moving day. They will only get in the way of the movers.
• Do NOT move photocopiers with toner installed inside. You must notify all service or lease agents that you are moving the photocopier or computer equipment that is under contract.
• Arrange to provide the movers with clear, direct and exclusive access to entrances, work areas and any required elevators at the origin and destination facilities.
