Lifting and Loading Safely
Lifting boxes and furniture is not about raw strength; it’s all about technique. Avoid back injuries by following these key rules:
Lift with your legs, not your back – bend your knees, keep your back straight, and hold the item close to your body.
Maintain a good grip – always check you have a secure hold before lifting.
Lowering items safely – bend your knees, keep your back straight, and focus on a fixed point ahead. Avoid sudden movements.
Teamwork – if an item is heavy or bulky, ask a friend or family member to help. We can also provide two-person assistance for heavy loads.
Remember, a careful approach is always better than rushing and risking injury.

Dismantling and Assembling Furniture
Many moves require beds, wardrobes, desks, and shelving to be dismantled and assembled. Proper preparation saves time and prevents damage.
Tools You’ll Need:
Allen keys & Torx sets – cheap, reliable options are available at Poundland, Lidl, or Aldi.
Parkside tool kits – perfect for dismantling and assembling furniture. Parkside is sold in Aldi and Lidl and offers everything you need for flat-pack furniture.
Label screws and fittings – keep all bolts, nuts, and small parts in labeled bags to avoid confusion.
Prepare furniture in advance – check which items must be dismantled to fit through doors or into the van.
At Adrian Man and Van Birmingham, we provide support for dismantling and assembling as part of our student and house removal services, ensuring your furniture is moved safely.

Loading the Van Efficiently
Loading a van efficiently prevents damage and saves time:
Heavy items first – place sofas, beds, and appliances at the bottom and nearer the van walls.
Stack boxes carefully – keep fragile items on top and make sure boxes are stable.
Spread the weight evenly – avoid overloading one side of the van to maintain balance during transit.
Use blankets and straps – secure furniture and protect surfaces from scratches.
Doors and stairways – plan your route inside the property so furniture fits without damage.
We offer a 7-meter Iveco Daily van for large moves and a 9-seat minibus for smaller student transfers, with room for bags, suitcases, and furniture.
