Get matched with top movers in Beaver Island, MI

Q: Can you transport a motorcycle on its side?

• <div><p>No, it is vital to transport a motorcycle upright because of its battery. These batteries are typically not sealed to avoid overpressurization, so the motorcycle could leak battery acid if it lays on its side. Plus, laying it on its side for a long period of time may cause hydrolock, which is when oil leaks into the combustion chamber, making your spark plug unable to ignite the gas due to lack of air.</p></div>

Q: How do you transport a bed frame?

• <div><p>To transport a bed frame, disassemble it as much as needed and then wrap it with moving blankets or bubble wrap to prevent damage. If you&rsquo;re transporting the frame in your vehicle, check to ensure it&rsquo;ll fit before you start. If not, you might need to rent a moving truck or hire professional movers to transport your bed frame to its new home.</p></div>

Q: Is it rude not to tip movers?

• <div><p>No, not tipping movers isn&rsquo;t considered rude. Tipping is optional, not expected. There are plenty of alternative ways to show your appreciation without tipping. </p></div>

Q: Can you move a fish tank with gravel in it?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s possible, but it&rsquo;s important to be extremely careful, and always remove rocks and heavier hardscape items. Drain all the water from the tank, leaving just enough to keep the gravel slightly submerged to keep your bacteria alive. Then, grab a helper or two and carefully lift the tank from either side, supporting the bottom and keeping it level. If the tank is especially heavy, consider slipping plywood underneath to minimize pressure on the glass. Be sure to pack it so it stays level and doesn&rsquo;t shift during transit.</p></div>

Q: How do long-distance moves work?

• <div><p>Moving across state lines is a similar process to moving within a state. Packing, loading, and unloading of trucks will follow the same process. The primary difference is during transportation, where your belongings may be loaded onto a dedicated moving truck or combined with other shipments, depending on the distance. Your moving company will offer tracking and ongoing communication of your boxes. </p></div>
