Moving words explained

These terms explain moving work in general. Ask which tasks and equipment are included in your estimate.

Local Move

A local move takes belongings to another address nearby. Around Jamaica that might mean a few blocks or another part of Queens, with timing shaped by the load and building access.

Commercial moving is moving a business, whether that is a storefront, an office or a small shop. The job can include desks, counters, shelves and files, with the contents and schedule agreed in advance.

Packing Services

Packing services mean someone else wraps, boxes and labels the things included in the job. Labels help show which room each box belongs in.

Piano Moving

Piano moving is the careful handling and transport of a heavy instrument with delicate parts. The crew needs protection and equipment suited to the piano, the stairs and the doorways.

Furniture Disassembly

Furniture disassembly is taking detachable parts off a bed, desk or wardrobe to make it easier to move. Ask which pieces can be taken apart and whether putting them back together is included.

Furniture Pads

Furniture pads are thick protective blankets placed around furniture for a move. They help cushion contact and reduce the chance of scrapes.

Load Securing

Load securing is how a load is restrained with suitable straps, blocking or bracing inside the truck. The aim is to keep items from shifting or tipping during transport.

Hand Truck

A hand truck is a tall two-wheel cart with a small ledge at the bottom. It lets a suitable load roll instead of being carried, using equipment rated for that load.
