Guidelines To Good Pool Table Movers

By Marissa Velazquez


Pool table movers do more than just transport your pool table to your desired destination. Almost all pool tables need to be dismantled and parts packed in several cartons for movement. Even if you have the clearance to transport your table in one piece, there is always risk of damage during the transportation. This risk can be avoided by transporting it in pieces and this is where you will need a reputable mover who can assure you that the table will reach the desired destination in good condition. Below are tips to help you choose such a mover.

Your number one consideration should be insurance cover against damages that may be incurred in the process. This is a very important consideration and must never be overlooked. There are several ways you can track down insurance status of a mover. The easiest way is just to ask. However, you should never take the company word for it. Insist on seeing its insurance certificate. This will ensure that you are duly compensated in case of any incident leading to loss of property.

You also need a company with good reputations and nothing will demonstrate reputations than word of mouth from previous clients. As such, you can ask the mover for references. You can also read reviews from its past customers on the company website. A good mover will have many positive reviews. You can expect the reverse for a company that is not all that reputable.

You must also be mindful of the price. Even though moving companies will charge a little more for shifting pool stand, you do not have to pay insensible price for the exercise. You can always compare charges from several companies before settling on one of them. In order to have accurate quote, you need to give as many details to the mover as possible. Some of these details include your current location, destination, the kind of stand you own and so forth.

The duration the process will take also matters. Most experienced companies can move a pool stand in under three hours not counting the drive time. Of course this will also depend on a number of factors like the type of stand, its size and many others. A good mover should be able to give you an accurate time frame for the job.

Pool tables are usually very delicate and needs specialized equipment for safety. Avoid companies planning to use open back pickups as this will put your stand at a risk. Look for companies with special vehicles specifically meant for transporting this kind of stand. A good choice would be a mover with a box truck or one with an enclosed trailer. These will guarantee safety of your stand.

The mover you plan to hire must also have a valid license to operate. Do not just settle on anybody who owns a pickup simply because he is the cheapest in the market. Such a person will just disappear when things go wrong and there is nowhere you can trace them.

By following all the above when looking for pool table movers, you should be able to find good ones. It is also advisable to start the search early. You should never wait until it is too late.
