Loading & Unloading

Relocating involves more than just getting goods from point A to B — the way your items are handled during loading and unloading plays a critical role in ensuring a smooth, safe and damage-free move. At Velan Packers and Movers, we specialise in professional loading & unloading services that give you peace of mind and tangible reliability.

What We Provide

• A fully trained team of loaders and unloaders who understand how to handle goods of all types — furniture, appliances, boxed items, sensitive electronics, etc.
• Appropriate equipment and materials: ramps, dollies, furniture pads, protective blankets and tie-downs, so your items are loaded and unloaded with care.
• Systematic placement and structuring during loading to optimise truck space, secure goods properly, and minimise movement during transit.
• At unloading, careful placement of items at the destination, assisting you in arranging items in the rooms you specify, and checking for any transit damage or misplacement.
• Flexibility of service: local moves, long-distance shifts, residential or commercial shifts — we adapt our loading/unloading team to suit your needs.

Why It Matters

Loading and unloading are being increasingly recognised as key service components in relocation. Many households and offices rely on expert handling to avoid damage or delays.

Poor loading/unloading practices can lead to goods shifting, scratches, damage, increased transit risk, and longer unpacking time — all of which we aim to eliminate.

Our Process – Clear & Transparent

1. Pre-move inspection: We assess your goods, note bulky or heavy items, plan loading sequence, and determine special handling needs.
2. Loading stage: Goods are wrapped/secured, heavy items placed first, balanced loading, items strapped and protected.
3. Transit monitoring: While en route, we ensure the load remains stable, and the logistics team stays in touch for updates.
4. Unloading stage: On arrival, items are carefully off-loaded, moved into designated rooms, checked for condition, and placed as you wish.
5. Confirmation & feedback: We review the move with you, get your confirmation of condition, address any concerns, and close the job with satisfaction.

Tips for You – To Smooth the Move

• Before loading: Remove breakable personal items from furniture (mirrors, glass tops) and keep them separately.
• Label heavy or bulky items clearly so the team can prepare for special handling.
• At unloading: Give clear instructions which room items go to — this saves time and ensures smoother unpacking.
• After unloading: Inspect your goods immediately while the team is present — makes claims or corrections easier if needed.
• Plan the path: Make sure stairs, lifts, and corridors at origin and destination are free of obstacles; this reduces risk, time, and labour costs.
