JonM Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 I don't think anyone is going to fork lift these, they are just residential standard movers. Could be wrong. I do like the edge protectors quite a bit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did forget to mention that I bought a strapping tool to keep things in place. https://www.amazon.com/VOTOER-Strapping-Tensioner-Polyproplyn-Plasticstrap/dp/B07RKVLSY5/ref=sxin_25_ac_d_rm?ac_md=0-0-c3RyYXBwaW5nIHRvb2w%3D-ac_d_rm_rm_rm&content-id=amzn1.sym.568df61d-e115-4cb1-a96a-ba070b8f0935%3Aamzn1.sym.568df61d-e115-4cb1-a96a-ba070b8f0935&crid=L5ZQGDTLUL5Y&cv_ct_cx=strapping+tool&keywords=strapping+tool&pd_rd_i=B07RKVLSY5&pd_rd_r=4e2ba1aa-2b49-4ad6-8a01-5142bf8b2a60&pd_rd_w=0NsAa&pd_rd_wg=ffIuj&pf_rd_p=568df61d-e115-4cb1-a96a-ba070b8f0935&pf_rd_r=ES9YEM2CQ9RP0BQRN0EN&psc=1&qid=1655330443&sprefix=strapping+too%2Caps%2C1793&sr=1-1-7d9bfb42-6e38-4445-b604-42cab39e191b I didn't get this one, but, you get the idea. It has come in handy when shipping heavy/unwieldy items. I try to make my shipments as indestructible, as possible. B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe too low. If you slap your hand on a table you get to 5G pretty fast. dX is very small in denominator. I will use what I have but my guess is they will all get tripped! To do it right I think you need to know mass of each box, then pick the G rating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GdnrBob Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Let's face it, shipping can be risky. But, the OP's residential movers probably won't be as reckless as a dock loader at UPS or Fedex. Putting the 5g stickers and the other warning signs should help with keeping those items from being dropped or banged up. Perhaps he should mention his preventative efforts to the moving company to see if they can respect them. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B Movers are here now and they want to witness me boxing everything worth more than $3500. 3500 is the “high value” trigger. (Along with the word “firearm” too). They got sufficiently scared when I told them some of the cables are worth more than that. They like the idea (in principle anyway) of the small pallets as they make 2-man lifting possible. I think the tip-over indicators will be the most useful. Pics to follow as the story unfolds. Edited June 18, 2022 by JonM Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B ^I totally doubt it.^ You may be empathising with the movers by putting yourself in their shoes… but I do not think it works that way. They are working a low paying job, and they either have respect for other peoples stuff or they do not. But it is not like they are bonded, or otherwise overseen to be gentle like, say, a hospital orderly. The neighbours were moving about 12-15 years ago and their narrow driveway was between two houses on street, as it was set way back. I heard shouting and looked out the window. The Haus-Boss was telling them to stop as their truck was going to hit a tree branch, and she asked them to wait for me to trim the branch. They said, “Lady we know what we are doing”… The shouting continued… and the branch indeed came down. They shattered on foot into the local park… and we never saw them again. Their supervisor came by and I overheard the conversation… HB: “Between the three of them I doubt they have a combined IQ over 100.” Supervisor: “I couldn’t say, I am not a psychologist.” HB: “Well I am, so consider it a professional opinion.” That morning left a lasting impression. Good luck with the move @JonM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonM Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Holmz, your post is not helping my anxiety but I laughed anyway. Riot. I did deploy a few indicators on the B system boxes yesterday. Pics for views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GdnrBob Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 If I ever have to move again, I'll sell all the furniture and just pack up the stereo equipment and move it myself. (Hopefully, I will be still be in the US). B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
