When facing a partial or total move, it often happens that you find one or more antique furniture in your hands to be transported to your destination. Such a requirement is anything but obvious because it implies a series of specific precautions without which the risk of damaging the piece of furniture increases. Many customers turn to us when it’s too late, i.e. after the damage has already occurred and they realize they don’t have the necessary skills to safely move their furniture. After all, damaging the structure is not the only undesirable eventuality that can arise: without experience, without tools and above all without adequate policies, risk situations and potential negative consequences multiply. We list by way of example the main cases:
Damage to third parties
A piece of furniture falling down the stairs or from the back of a van can injure other people and animals or cause damage to other people’s property (cars, scooters, etc.). It is therefore important to consider not only the damage to the object itself, but also to third parties.
Furniture theft
When you don’t have a deposit and you can’t meet the deadlines, you may be forced to leave your antique and perhaps more precious furniture in your old home or in a temporary warehouse. The risk of theft therefore becomes high with obvious repercussions on the morale and personal assets of the persons concerned.
Unforeseen expenses
Improvisation doesn’t help under any circumstances, much less in a delicate operation like moving house. Moving antique furniture without logic can generate unexpected expenses due to prolonged storage or repeated transportation rental.
WHICH PRECUTION FOR A MOVE OF ANTIQUE FURNITURE
In moving the house as in the move of the office we take care of providing solutions that meet expectations also with regard to antique furniture with sentimental or economic value. Among the precautions that we would like to recommend, the stipulation of a dedicated RCT type insurance (Civil Responsibility towards Third Parties) is in the first place, among all the best form of protection. Another fundamental trick is to manage the transport of heavy furniture with cutting-edge tools, such as the PianoPlan stair climbing robot. Finally, if there are antique furniture of particular value or even sculptures or paintings or works of art, we recommend that you rely on our servicespecialist transport of works, carried out according to strict quality and safety criteria.
