Our first tip is a pretty obvious one – leave all the
lifting to us!
That’s because our guys are professional Christchurch
movers, so they’re also trained, strong and fit.
However, if you’re doing your own removal and loading onto a
van, here are some of our top tips about how to avoid potential injury (we
blogged on this a long time ago but a quick reminder never hurt anyone – unlike
bad lifting techniques!).
1. Keep your back straight when lifting, with your
legs very slightly apart. You’re trying to take the weight on your legs and NOT
your back.
2. Wear very heavy duty boots or shoes, steel toe
caps are a good idea if possible. Do NOT wear trainers or sandals etc. Foot
injury is very commonplace with DIY removals due to the tendency for heavy
objects to fall on them if mishandled. Read more about..... Top Tips For Lifting Boxes (etc.) Safely
