Movers will not pack anything that is not allowed to be transported. So, any flammable or hazardous items will not be part of a load. JHB Removals says, In the event that they may transport a gas bottle, generator, welding machine or compressor, these items must be emptied. They may reserve the right not to uplift these items.

What Moving Company Packs For You?

​Firstly, you can expect the movers to bring all the packaging and protective materials. Hurray! Now you don’t need to go scrounging at the back of your local supermarket. Expect the packers to get the job done quickly and efficiently. They’re trained to pack up an entire household in a fraction of the time it would take you. 

You can rest assured fragile items such as glassware and china will be expertly wrapped and safely packed. The same goes for wall art and mirrors. If you have large or unusually shaped items like a piano or a chandelier that need special packaging such as crating, the packers will see to that. Antiques will receive the same careful attention.

Packers are also experts at dismantling large, heavy, unwieldy items for safe wrapping and transport. They will reassemble at your destination. What a relief for you! You can also expect the supervisor to keep an inventory of the items packed. They will also label boxes according to the original rooms in which the items were found.

Remember also that there is unlikely to be any dispute about a moving company paying for damages if they have packed your items themselves. Packers can also help you unpack at your new home. All you do is tell them where the items need to go. 


What about the empty boxes? No need to worry. Packers will ensure that all the wrapping and boxes are cleaned away.
