We were recently asked by a potential customer, why we stressed that our vehicles come equipped with strapping.
It doesn’t matter whether you are talking about furniture removals or any other sort of carriage of goods by road, one of the biggest potential nightmares for the driver and the owner of goods is what’s called movement-in-transit or ‘shifting’.
In principle, this is no different to the challenges we all face sometimes when placing items in the boot of our car. A good example is that bag of shopping from the supermarket which, however carefully we try and wedge it into place, often has a habit of falling over and spilling its contents all over the boot the moment we turn a corner.
In the context of your precious household possessions, boxes and items of furniture moving around inside our vehicle would be a potential disaster.
In the case of boxes, assuming that the vehicle is relatively full, the challenges are manageable. That’s because boxes can be stacked against each other to provide a degree of structural strength which prevents movement.
The position though is made much more challenging by items of furniture which, due to their odd angles and shapes, cannot always be completely firmly and immovably stacked against each other. That’s particularly an issue when items are heavy or on wheels, such as a piano.
So, that is why Total Care Removals uses strapping and webbing extensively in our vehicles. It may be either elasticated or fibre equipped with tensioners. In either case, the objective is to place it around certain awkward items to secure it and the items concerned to the internal framework of the vehicle.
This should prevent your items from moving around and potentially damaging themselves and any of your other possessions.
We have a total commitment to protecting your possessions to the maximum of our capabilities and strapping is just one part of that.
