Furniture movers
Furniture movers are the types of personnel who arrange,
move, and relocate household furniture. One of their most widely used tools is
a forklift. A forklift is a lever-operated machine that moves loads vertically
by pulling the load toward the operator. The operator secures the load with
either a metal hook or by hand to prevent it from falling off an incline.
Forklifts are built for industrial use because it saves time and money over
manual transport methods like carrying furniture on one's back or using ropes
and pulleys to move loads up or down stairs.
The furniture moving industry is changing and growing
rapidly with the development of technology, which makes it easier to move homes
or offices using modern equipment, instead of using physical labor. The United
States Bureau of Labor Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook states that
jobs for furniture movers will increase by about 10% between the years 2008 and
2018. Auto moving companies are paying their movers commission-based salaries,
making the job more appealing. Although those who work for auto companies have
to deal with a lot of pressure from tight deadlines and demanding customers,
they get to set their own hours by choosing when they want to work.
Furniture moving is typically done by independent
contractors, who generally charge per move. The charges included in their rates
are the basic labor and equipment costs (labor is typically paid by the hour),
or they may include handling, packaging, and storage. Furniture movers do not
take part in loading and unloading, although they often help with these tasks
after a furniture delivery. "Moving" companies that specialize in
home moves generally pay their employees by the hour (depending on the
company's scale of operations) because they need workers to move large
quantities of furniture from one location to another.
