Moving Companies: Antique Movers
What's the different between antique movers and regular moving companies? The answer is very important when you are thinking about moving precious items or sentimental valuables. Antique movers fall into the specialty moving category.
Specialty Movers: Fine Art Movers, Piano Movers
Specialty movers are trained and have the expertise to move items like pianos, antiques or fine art. Antique movers not only have specially trained staff that understands how to move and pack antique items so, they also have specialized equipment that will assist them in the move.
Generally antique movers do not use semi-trailer trucks. Typically they will use some type of conversion van and an insulated trailer that contains special strapping systems for large items. Smaller antique items can be transported in the van. They are always well-padded to avoid scratches and dents.
Take your time in finding the right antique movers and when you've found a few that you like try to get some references. Learning about another person’s experience will help you make a better informed decision. It is also important to meet with the antique movers in person, so they can take a look at your items and you can see the equipment they'll be using to make the move.
