Best/safest way to move a cabinet?
<< < (3/4) > >>
ChadTower:

You could put the wrapped cab on cardboard and it would help with the sliding.  It might make it slide so easily that you have to strap it down more inside the vehicle.

I have seen guys wrap a game in cardboard held on by shrinkwrap.  That's usually for shipping, though.  I don't see why, if he's moving it himself, he has to go to that much effort.  That would only be necessary for something in super nice shape or super expensive.

Agree with the above posts. Removing delicate pieces and overkill on shrinkwrap and cardboard may take an extra half hour but makes moving them far less stressful.
ChadTower:

The one thing about shrinkwrap and this particular situation is the vehicle.  He's going to have to tip that game and slide it into the vehicle.  Shrinkwrap will have heavy friction on everything.

Yeah, just put a blanket half in the bed, so once you tip it, the blanket slides along with it. Something like a fleece works well.

Good moving advice thread.  My take way is to tape up any cords you can't remove from the back and to wrap with blankets and saran wrap.  It's pretty easy.
