Moving Services – Back in The Days and Today

By Simon Newton on May 14, 2012 in Relocation Services

I want to show in short how moving companies have evolved throughout the years. I’m not going to emphasize on the process, but more on their equipment and the execution of the job.

Back in the 17th century, during the feudal period, it was unthinkable for a man or a woman with high stature in society to engage physical labour. In the early years there wasn’t much of a need for home removals. With the growth of population in the cities and residences one has it, became like a necessity. And thus the first relocation was done in the late years of the century, 1885 in Montréal, Québec.

It was an awfully shady job done very poorly comparing it with nowadays. The actual transportation of one’s goods was done with the help of a carriage. There isn’t any time to make more than a single shift and everything gets put in it, no matter the volume. The securing of the stuff was done with rope straps, nothing special, but what can you expect.

That is how house removals was born, from that time on the equipment got better and so did the services become more viral. Today a professional mover has multiple tools at his disposal, which vary depending on the job. Services aren’t limited to only shifting one’s stuff from one spot to another, home removals London offer also storage facilities and supplies for people who want to move on their own. They on the other hand are some of the following – bubble wrap, packing peanuts, moving pads, moving dollies, furniture sliders, the list just keeps going on and on.

If you know what is the job of each thing then you have a basic idea for what there are used. There isn’t any room for comparison, still imagine how would your move be executed if all of the helping tools weren’t used.
