Speciality Item Moving Tips and Tools

• Grandfather clocks. Your Atlas mover can call a qualified service provider to prepare your grandfather clock for transport.
• Piano. When moving a piano, your Atlas Mover will have the proper equipment and experience. They will use furniture pads, moving straps, and a sturdy dolly to safely protect and transport the piano. Consider having it tuned after the move.
• Handguns. You are responsible for transporting handguns and ammunition.
• Hot tubs. Your Atlas mover can contact a qualified service provider to drain your hot tub and prepare it for transport.
• Medicines. Atlas recommends that you carry all medications with you. Seal caps with masking tape, wrap, and pack upright in small boxes. Some prescription drugs, such as insulin, lose their potency if exposed to heat. Check with your pharmacist.
• Perishable food. Atlas cannot take perishable items.
• Propane tanks. Atlas cannot transport a propane tank, even an empty one, under any circumstances.
• Flammables and combustibles. These are considered non-allowable items, and Atlas will not transport them. Plan to dispose of these or give them away before you move

Atlas does not assume responsibility for important papers, keys, small sentimental items and valuables. Plan to pack these together and transport them with you.

If you are moving yourself, it’s still a very good idea to leave Propane Tanks, and Flammables and Combustibles behind for your safety.
