Tools we use
Moving Blankets
Heavy-duty moving blankets, also known as furniture pads, are essential for protecting furniture and appliances during transport. These thick, padded covers prevent scratches, dents, and scuffs on delicate surfaces while items are being carried, loaded, or stored.
​
Professional movers use quilted, high-density blankets from trusted brands like U-Haul, Sure-Max, and Nova Microdermabrasion to cushion and secure wood furniture, mirrors, glass tops, and electronics. Each blanket absorbs impact and keeps belongings stable even on bumpy city roads.
Clean, reusable blankets not only protect valuable items but also help reduce waste and maintain a more sustainable moving process — a key advantage for both residential and commercial moves across New York and New Jersey.
Moving Dolly
At Turbo Moving, efficiency and safety come first. Our crew relies on professional moving dollies — both two-wheel hand trucks and four-wheel furniture dollies — to move heavy or bulky items with ease.
​
We use heavy-duty steel and hardwood dollies from trusted brands like Harper Trucks, Milwaukee, and Rhino Dolly, equipped with non-marking rubber wheels that roll smoothly over floors without leaving scratches. These tools allow us to move appliances, dressers, sofas, and boxes faster and with less lifting strain, reducing the risk of damage to both your belongings and your home.
Assembly & Disassembly Toolkit
A complete assembly and disassembly toolkit is essential for moving modern furniture safely and efficiently. From bed frames and desks to sectional sofas and office equipment, many items need to be taken apart before transport and reassembled upon delivery.
​
Professional movers rely on precision hand tools and cordless drills from trusted brands like DeWalt, Makita, and Milwaukee, along with Allen keys, socket wrenches, and specialty bits designed for brands such as IKEA, West Elm, and Crate & Barrel. These tools make it possible to disassemble complex pieces quickly while avoiding stripped screws, damaged wood, or missing hardware.
Every toolkit is carefully maintained and organized, helping ensure smooth, efficient setups in both compact city apartments and larger suburban homes.
Shrink Wrap (Plastic Stretch Film)
Industrial-grade shrink wrap, also called stretch film, is one of the most essential tools for protecting furniture and delicate surfaces during a move. This durable plastic wrap keeps items safe from dust, moisture, and scratches, and prevents drawers, doors, and cushions from shifting in transit.
​
Movers use high-strength, puncture-resistant wrap from trusted brands like Duck Brand, Pratt, ULINE and U-Haul to secure everything from sofas and dressers to mattresses and glass tables. It clings tightly without leaving residue, ensuring clean and professional results every time.
In busy city environments like New York and New Jersey, shrink wrap is especially valuable for keeping furniture spotless during hallway and elevator moves or rainy-day jobs.
Straps
Ratchet tie-downs are a crucial tool for ensuring a safe and efficient move. Made from high-strength, durable webbing and equipped with a sturdy ratcheting mechanism, these straps allow you to securely fasten furniture, appliances, office equipment, and other items during transport. By tightening the load firmly, ratchet tie-downs prevent shifting, tipping, or damage while your belongings are on the road. Perfect for moving trucks, vans, and trailers, they give both residential and commercial movers peace of mind.
Whether you’re relocating an office full of delicate electronics or a home with heavy furniture, using ratchet tie-downs ensures everything arrives safely, efficiently, and without unnecessary stress. Investing in quality tie-downs is an essential step toward a smooth, professional, and worry-free moving experience.
Tape
Heavy-duty packing tape is a simple but essential tool for securing boxes, wrapping furniture, and keeping items protected during a move. Strong, durable tape prevents boxes from opening, cushions edges, and ensures that items stay organized and intact throughout transport.
​
Professional movers use high-quality, industrial-strength tape from trusted brands like Scotch, Duck Brand, and 3M, applying it to cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and shrink-wrapped furniture. For extra security, reinforced or water-activated tape can be used for heavier boxes or long-distance moves.
